Fantastic venue. Rare establishment. Great management. Value for money. Environment friendly. Nice common area. Yummy breakfast menu. Decent bed, tv and clean bathroom. The room we got had a large living area, with a big private balcony with mountains and sunset view.

This hotel was fine for one night, and the garden was very pleasant for relaxing in. My room was good, except that there were no net curtains, so it was a bit like being in a goldfish bowl, but fortunately the management recompensed me in the usual way. I din't have the buffet meal, but I understand from other members... More

Large clean and tidy premises. Great cheap wireless internet but ridiculously small tv. Unable to be watched from bed as also has a volume control of 50 out of 100. Had room near road but not too much issue with noise. This hotel is clearly a stop for truckers though so morning was a little nosier. Not a big problem... More

We spent one night here on our bus trip in February. The room was fine and large, clean and comfortable, but the restaurant was crowded with two bus groups and the food was average. The vegetables were hard as if they hadn't been cooked enough.

This is a motel style hotel. The rooms are on two floors. The guest rooms are spacious with a double and single bed. Tea and coffee making facilities, an iron, and a small fridge are provided, but no in room safe. The rooms are clean and the bathroom although dated is a good size. The ground floor rooms have limited... More

Thank you for your comments. While we are a tour hotel, and run a dinner buffet when we are busy, we also offer a bar menu on these nights - on quieter nights a full a la carte menu is also available. With regards to wireless internet - the charge is $5 for a 24 hr period. Guy Sanders General... More

The room was clean and spacious but a bit dated. The bathroom was clean and the shower had good water pressure. Unfortunately, smoke drifted in my open window from other guests smoking on their balconies and it was too hot to close all the windows.

Thank you for your comments - Regretfully, while all our rooms are smokefree, we are not able to stop guests from smoking outdoors,and I am sorry that you were affected by passive smoke. We do provide ashtrays outside, but unfortunately these are not used all the time either. Guy Sanders General Manager More

The room was tired but clean and adequate. Very spacious and all that you need. However the restaurant was another story...... We arrived about 30 mins before closing. We were told we'd best go for the buffet as there'd be a wait for anything else. A quick look at the buffet showed it to be near whacked out so we... More

Excellent hotel in a quiet area within private grounds, most rooms had balconies, rooms serviced to a high standard, food excellent and served hot, dining room and bar in a separate building, access by covered way and paths, all staff were friendly and courteous, this is a must return to hotel.
