The staff are what made the place so amazing. So friendly, helpful, full of jokes and smiles. Made me feel right at home. Ready-made beds were well-appreciated, too. Plus, they stock vegemite at breakfast. Thoughtful! More

Good heating, first class showers, generous free breakfast, coffee,... More
