Would not recommend booking this property if you are planning on traversing hooker valley track as instead of 27km away from this property as stated on their website it is a 6 hr drive as you need to go around the mountain. Property does not take the phone and neither answers emails.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

In need of some TLC

Arrived at 5pm to a note for check-in and never saw any staff at all. The room was basic but tired and in need of updating. There was a musty smell overpowered by a sweet perfume smell. Bedding and towels clean. Good hot shower. Two cups but only one drinking glass and no teaspoons. ‘Fridge noisy and had to turn off. Could hear shower in neighbouring room. No bedside lights meant getting out of bed to put light on/off. The light outside of bedroom window was bright and on all night. Quiet overnight. Overall if you want a cheap bed for the night it’s ok but don’t expect much.
