    It was a bargain price. We usually spend less than $10 on our accommodation so took this when we saw the discount. It’s a bit of a way out of town, and there’s nowhere else to eat...BUT the food is outstanding, the place is lovely and peaceful, the rooms are gorgeous and the staff are absolutely BRILLIANT! Chatty, attentive and very friendly. We absolutely loved it!
