Our Wotif Guide brought us to this lovely place. A spacious room with all of the necessities to make our stay warm and comfortable. Our welcoming hosts we’re happy to help with any questions from our tv to eateries nearby and spots to drop in on our trip the next day. And quickly assisted with a forgotten item on our departure. Close to the amazing Queens Gardens and the unique water tower. Would happily visit again.
