Perfect!

Just an amazing spot & views - wow! Great little golf course too. Very comfortable room. Make sure to state that you need the single bed if booking that room - we were kindly upgraded, but unfortunately because we were checking in late we hadn’t actually spoken to anyone. No huge problem, sharing a bed with a mate is ok, but a seperate bed would have been better!

This property is located directly on a golf course but it is very much out of the way of town with no restaurants nearby. The property had limited staffed hours for guests- closed at 5pm and reopened at 9am. The room was very nice and they left some breakfast items in the fridge for toast and cereal. The staff was very friendly when available. There was a pond right in front of our room and we enjoyed watching a goose family with their 9 checks enjoy the water. If you want to get out of the hustle and bustle this is a great option but not at all convenient for accessing dinner.
