“Central location”
Fantastic location. CBD was very close. Misha's/ Cork& Cap/Stoakers on SH8B were a moderate, yet comfortable, walk. The Old Precinct.was a little further away, but I wanted something close to the CBD and Misha's for this trip. Friendly host. Large comfortable room.

“Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
A warm welcome from Cheryl was a delightful start. Indeed, she is the cheerily efficient presence at the helm of this highly successful enterprise. Nothing is too much trouble, the place is kept immaculately, the room and its facilities well-presented and catering for every need. The location could not be more convenient for touring, the Rail Trail, local attractions or just a peaceful stay.
