Although we didn't have a view we were more than happy with our room. It looked like it had recently been renovated. Aircon and ceiling fan were both great. We had our dinners down by the lake watching the birds and sunset We would definitely stay there again

Beautiful view and outlook from our lake side room. The room was a bit dated, needs a refresh. Comfy bed and great aircon. Overall a good place to stay, close by to shops (10min walk or 2min drive). Staff were so lovely, checked in with us multiple times. Would stay again :)
