    warm welcome
    delicious breakfast
    shower pressure

    Had a fantastic two-night stay, la! Andrea was dead sound and made us feel right at home, especially with that lovely breakfast. Loved every bit of the comfy room, but the shower pressure could’ve been a bit better, y’know?

    small bathroom

    We enjoyed our stay with family, especially the delicious breakfast with plenty of choices. The room was clean and had a comfortable feel, perfect for relaxing after our adventures at nearby attractions. The location was fantastic for exploring local parks and eateries.

    My children wanted more space in the bathroom.
