"We stayed only one night at The Hermitage Our room was in the new wing and really lovely- beautiful quality carpet, fixtures and fittings. Bathroom was gorgeous as was the linen. Fabulous view of the mountain and beautiful natural bush landscape. Restaurant and bar also very good. Wish we had time to extend our stay."
