The accommodation was perfect for my large extended family. The rooms were spacious and clean and exactly as described in the advert. There were toys and games to keep the children amused and and extra large TV in the lounge for the adults.The icing on the cake were the breathtaking views. Haydn, out host was friendly and made a whole check in process easy and seamless. I highly recommend this accommodation to all. AAA service all the way. If you stay here won't be disappointed. I will definitely be staying here again next time we have a family event in the area.
