The location was perfect for anyone wanting to attend a fixture a Michaelhouse or any events in Nottingham Road. It is spacious and ideal for two couples going away. Although I didn't get to go on the running trail, it does seem like there was a great one and the dam was gorgeous

− I"m not sure if there was WiFi

Absolutely delightful setting located very close to MHS School

Beautiful location. Simple, eclectic, comfortable. Lovely spacious communal area overlooking the dam

− A pity there is no shower in the main bedroom en suite but not a deal breaker. Hot soak in the bath was divine.
