Clean,not ideal if you struggle with mobility
Pros:

The property was in a good location for what we needed

Cons:

Difficult to navigate with limited mobility and no information from staff as to what was available at the property so I stayed in the room the whole time

Lovely place, wonderful hosts, wonderful communal dinner.
Pros:

What a fabulous place, seemingly 'in the middle of nowhere', yet wonderful hospitality, quirky accommodation, great food, super-friendly and welcoming hosts. Would definitely stay again. And we would stay an extra night, so my husband could enjoy a round of golf on the oldest golf course in Australia.

Cons:

Can't think of anything.

Lovely, cosy
Pros:

Last minute booking, securing just the room I needed for an overnight stay. For me, Skillion was perfect - warm, cosy, microwave, kettle, tea, coffee, bar size fridge, super clean. Relaxing stay before my necessarily late afternoon check in then an early morning departure.
