We stayed overnight for sport, it was clean, warm and spacious. Hosts were friendly and helpful. This was so easy from booking to staying. The pillows and beds were comfy and it was nice and quiet. We would stay again for sure.

Friendly owners. Comfortable bed. The heater kept the room warm without overheating. Unfortunately the hot water in the shower lacked pressure. The pressure improved some as I placed the nozzle down low. I never managed to get a comfortable temperature in the shower. Across the road (maybe 60m) is a nice supermarket. So convenient to get dinner from.

The property was nice and quaint with a terrible shower and a disgusting queen size bed. Really guys 1970 or thereabout buildings don’t really cut it anymore. Low pressure water cylinders, worn out taps to name a couple. After travelling 500k I really believe there is an expectation of an excellent bed and shower at a minimum. I suggest the owner sleep in the bed and try the shower which honestly is worse than a man with an enlarged prostate gland. Regards Wayne Harper
