Owners were lovely, was a great quiet place for us to stay while watching grandchildren in the cricket carnival. We were happy to be on the outskirts of Portland. Suited our needs for a sleepover place. Very clean and lovely fresh smell on entry. Lovely big towels too.

The property was clean and neat however, the bed was very uncomfortable. The room could do with a refurb as it is a bit outdated. The staff were very friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome and our check in easy as we arrived late.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
the reception was always unattended. Looks like a ghost town. Owner was busy doing renovation works away from reception in one of the rooms. Location was too far from city. Food, drinks and shopping was only available by car. Certainly not to be recommended @$113.00 per night! Carpet had granite pebbles and hurriedly vacumed. Room was comfortable.
