"Staff were happy and welcoming on arrival and explained the security boom gate and what I needed to do. When I booked I advised of my mobility issues but I did not expect quite a big step into the shower without a hand rail. The advertisement explained that all units are ground floor and wheelchair accessible. I was offered a ramp to access the unit and I said the steps would be ok. I would recommend a handrail on the exterior steps in some units for people who require a bit of stability on the steps. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again."

"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"
