Just for riding horses, not a hotel to stay in.
If you want to ride horses, stay here. A bit odd to me, clean, but needs a refresh. Beautiful grounds.

He staff made an effort to make guests feel at home. The room was quiet and comfortable and offered a lovely view. Snacks and drinks were available 24/7, and the breakfast was fine. My only suggestion would be to serve the breakfast at a warmer temperature. At serving time, the food was fairly cold; not a good temperature for eggs and pancakes. The horses were gorgeous and very well taken care of.

Wonderful vacation at Southern Cross Guest Ranch.
This place was amazing. I have gone twice and truly enjoyed both stays. The staff were wonderful. It is a place you can enjoy whether you ride horses or not. I used it as a B&B. It was very relaxing. I also enjoyed walking to the stables to feed the horses treats. The food is amazing. You would be surprised with the options you have to choose from. With the B&B a you have the option to include lunch and dinner with your stay if you want to. With the all inclusive horse riding pkg it was included.
