✓ Great location with easy access to Nelly Bay ferry Has everything you need for your stay Quiet garden setting
✗ Nothing - we loved staying here
✓ location, the gardens, how quiet it was
✗ rather dated and ended up staying in the accessible cottage when it wasn’t requested all of the kitchen equipment smelt really fusty and damp
✓ The gardens are beautiful and the pool is secluded and refreshing. In unit 1 There are three rooms and each bedroom opens out to a small private patio area. There is an enormous BBQ so we cooked up breakfast and ate alfresco on the outside main patio where the BBQ area has a large table and chairs in the garden setting.
✓ beautiful garden. very peaceful
