"Was a great place to stay, so much room for our special family dynamics. Travelling with teenager, elderly parents(one from each side of the family) husband and myself and an elderly dog. We all had our own space when need be. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip so much we booked another night. The welcome note and Tim Tam's was the icing of making us all feel welcomed. Communication was excellent from Miranda. Would highly recommend to others. Thank you Miranda and Dino"
