Would stay again
Pros:

Location and facilities around the Inn

Cons:

That our staff were asked to pay a $200 deposit on arrival and that the money was actually debited from their account and at no stage during communication with the Inn, was a deposit ever discussed.

Good place for a quick overnight stay.
Pros:

Rooms were clean and staff helpful

Cons:

They do not let you know prior to your stay that they require a $200 deposit per room and that you only get wifi if you book directly with them.

Amazing stay! The romantic setup was perfect and really made our trip special. Everything was clean, comfortable, and ex
Pros:

We had such an amazing stay here and couldn’t recommend it more highly. The team went above and beyond to organise a romantic setup for us, and it honestly exceeded all expectations. Every detail was perfect and it made our stay feel really special.

The place itself was beautiful, clean, and super comfortable, and the extra effort they put in truly didn’t go unnoticed. It made a big difference to our experience and we really appreciated it.

We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with exceptional service.

Pleasant but there were a couple of frustrating aspects to the kichenette
Pros:

Location & fact 2 areas (upstairs & downstairs) so I could have privacy from my son.

We enjoyed being able to way on the balcony

Cons:

The kitchen needs better facilities.

The detergent was of poor quality & I couldn’t adequately clean the pan so went & bought my own.

There needs to be a drying rack. I washed dishes & it was impossible to dry them easily.

There needs to be a baking dish. While there was an oven it was unusable without a baking dish. The one piece of foil was only useful for 1 day but we stayed 4 nights.
