  Nice rooms and beautiful views in a tranquil country setting. Very relaxing weekend.

  We looked forward to our stay here, the website sold it to us, free wifi, guest lounge etc, etc. We arrived on a particular hot day (mid 30's) and rang the doorbell for the area labeled reception. The owner appeared after a few minutes with portable eftpos machine in hand and said to my wife and I, that my credit card wouldn't work. Now I had booked to pay on arrival, I found it odd that she had tried to access my funds early. I explained that my bank had put a hold on that particular card due to some suspected fraudulent payments that seemed odd. I wonder if this was one of them. We paid her on the verandah, at no time were we invited inside to escape the heat. We drove down to the room we had booked, first impressions were not good as the area outside of the rooms were covered in bird droppings, the door of the room next to ours was splattered with them. Our continental breakfast for the next morning was already waiting for us, a banana, orange and apple, along with half a loaf of bread sat upon the shelf under the tv. We read the hotels guidebook to find that the guest room in the house was no longer available nor was the free wifi. The shower floor was dusty and covered in dead insects, turning on the light above the bed only highlighted all the dead insects in the light shade. The room was dusty, but the worst thing of all was our breakfast cereal and milk for it as well as the coffee was out of date, some by 6 months. We left at first light the next day. Avoid this place.
