Decorated in warm earthy colours and homely décor, there are plenty of areas to either warm in front of a fireplace on a chilly winter evening with a book or sipping refreshments on the front verandah or on hot days recline on sun loungers after a dip in the crystal clear pool.

We offer 10 clean and comfortable rooms with shower en-suite, quality white linen and plenty of towels. All rooms are located away from the street and each with their own entrance.
