Very beautiful rainforest
The property is very quirky and unusual. I did not like that the property gate was locked so we were reliant on the owners letting us out whenever needed. It made me feel trapped.

A gem of a place
This stay exceeded my expectationsBy far. The property is spotless and spacious. Heaps of room with every facility you could need and so many welcoming little touches. The hosts live up to the name and welcomed us all (even our dog). Super accommodation for pets with plenty of space to sniff about.highly recommend.

Beautiful “home away from home”
Pam and Loretta have done everything for guests to have a wonderful experience. The guest house is beautifully decorated and very clean. The “cold breakfast” they leave in the room for guests to eat when they want is huge and delicious! The “hot breakfast” menu is also varied and the pancakes were amazing! Thanks Pam and Loretta, we loved staying with you! Ps. The dogs loved it too!

Warm and friendly English style B&B
A great little B&B offering a warm, large well appointed room with an old-world feel and everything you need. The breakfast and additional offerings were great and our hosts were friendly and very willing to help.
