Fabulous staff, food, and location!!
Pros:

It was the perfect stopover on our way home to Adelaide. The staff were engaging, dinner was delicious, and rooms super comfortable. Glad we paid extra for the view and privacy.

Cons:

Only other feedback , there was lots of little dead insects in the bathroom. Not a big deal though, hazard of being in a bush location likely.
