There was loud rumbling at night, like water being pumped.Little sleep. Never worked out where it was coming from. Check in host was very helpful and friendly. Bed was comfortable. Everything was very clean. Appreciated swimming pool after 18km hike!! Spa dilapidated. Area needs simple tidy up but we would stay there again as we were well satisfied.

Checked in late after 8pm however the gentleman whom checked me in was very polite. Having to go to another address to check in was the only issue. Perhaps I should have asked to have the directions written down instead. Accommodation was very clean and quiet. Thank you very much. S Raerino
