This place is beautiful! A great option, I love it heading north when looking for a rest stop, as you can miss the morning rush through heatherbrae and continue your drive fresh the next day!

We had booked 2 rooms for one night, and were going to book somewhere else after our day trip to Sydney. We liked the place so much we booked the second night there as well. The owners have done a superb job of renovating each room. They were clean, tidy and well sound proofed. The shower head was one of the highlights (you will see) and the bed was really comfortable. I cant fault this place.
