A pleasant surprise to find somewhere close to all of Wollongong and south to kiama (short drive either way), that was peaceful and quiet at a reasonable rate at Easter time. The on-site restaurant was very reasonably priced and the food was fantastic, as were our host. All staff were friendly and helpful at all times, my wife and I will be staying when in the area again, thanks for an enjoyable stay - we look forward to staying again in the future 👍👍

Lovely little room, bathroom was very modern, though the flyscreen on the window must of had holes as we had many bug visitors. Aircon was great and staff very friendly. It would of been nice to have a sink in the kitchenette and the rooms are not particularly sound proof as i could hear our 2 year old from a decent distance outside the room.
