Great Stay
Pros:

A special thanks to Vicky for a warm welcome.
Our 2 pets were totally spoilt with their own warm bedding, pet food & bowls.
Great price for a comfortable stay.
Would definitely recommend.

Cons:

'Not what I didn't like, it just couldn't be helped',
Our vehicle was too big to park in the undercover space provided, so we parked in the visitors' car space...no big deal.

great stay but lack of sleep due to car movements,
Pros:

The property was great, the staff were friendly, we would stay again, except for the parked cars.

Cons:

It was a small view from our room 1, but that was great, a small lawned area, leading to the BBQ and pool. The cars parked on the lawn area were not acceptable, we had no view, and it felt like they were coming in the front door when coming and going. At night, the car parking behind the unit sounded like it was coming through the wall several times at 2 am, or 3 am when they arrived.
