Beautiful property and very spacious. A bit of a walk to get into town around 20 minutes but we didn’t mind.

Great property for our group to get away. Lots of room for portacots. Only thing is stairs are hard to close off if you have little ones. Plenty of bathrooms and great stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Overall it was a fantastic place for us to base out of.
