One night stay
Really accommodating with a late check in. Only stayed one night. We accidentally left behind a baby blanket which they held onto for us once we returned back to town.

Reeplace the Shower Head please.
The shower head was in a very bad condition. $50 spent at Bunnings to replace it would be a simple solution
