The great service from the lady at the front desk. Always going out of her way to help. Like organising safe parking for my vehicle. Probably the most happy efficient person I've dealt with for many years.

“Gove's Best Hotel”
Poolside Bar and pool, birdlife around, unpretentious menu, friendly staff, great location. Good old fashioned bathroom lighting, nothing fancy but best we've experienced for years at any hotel. Maybe because bathroom space so tight?The sheets were quality cotton which is what you need when the air con is not working well, but a great plus anyhow.
