Room was great, clean and lots of space. Really good location.
We aren’t form Oz and struggled to call to arrange late check in. My only bit of feedback would to make that easier. Once we made contact clear instructions how to get in with a map to find our lodge.
100% would stay again. Thank you!

Staff were absolutely lovely and the room exceeded my expectations in terms of amenities, comfort and how it looked. Minor grumble - the security lights outside were on permanently and the black out blinds didn’t properly keep the light out - I like a pitch black room, but to be fair, security is more important.
