We fully enjoyed our 2 nights stay, so quiet an the view is worth seeing, staff in office are welcoming an friendly, property were tidy an clean daily an amenities were closeby an clean, toilets an showers were clean an tidy an easy parking, walking distance too the hot & cold pools, beautiful gardens, kitchen cabins needs a upgrade abit outdated, double bed was small, mattress was hard an you could feel the springs when you lie on bed, Rm 7 ranchslider wouldnt slide across, you had too lift the door upwards too slide across an too lock door, kitchenette was small bench space an fan in the room had a rattle when turned on, so it was noisey an annoying but we adapted an loved our stay, we will definately reccomend in coming back again

Cental to Rail Trail. The owners seem to have done alot of work on the grounds and working their way up the list of priorites & improvements for an older establishment. Although the rooms are tired but they are clean, and tidy & contain all of the necessities. Good linen, comfortable beds & pillows & all the cutlery crockery expected.
