The grounds and the bird life were beautiful. There was a conference at the time but it was still quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable. The "kitchen area" was very small and a microwave would have been extremely useful. Also a small table and chairs would have been great. Overall though we had a lovely stay in a serene beautiful area and would go back again.

Everything was lovely. Wipe benches due to ‘nature’ visitors when unattended as expected in bushy area. Rooms nice. Supermarket would be the only thing i avoid next time across the road. The staff were lovely but one of their elder workers (lady) was rude to us for sitting in their dining area as she was rushing around. We were there for disability respite and she definitely made us feel unwanted.

Great country getaway only 1:30 hrs from Sydney. Great property grounds and dine in options at walking distance, Heritage valley cafe, Wiseman Inn and the Bowlo 2 min away. Welcoming staff. Recommend to visit St Albans for the drive through the valley with lunch at the Settlers Arms Inn and a visit of the Old Great North Road / Convict trail.

Great location and lovely accomodation.

Overall happy and complete with the stay. believe stay was wonderful, however with certain equipment ie microwave, mop, vacume not being in rooms is a bit of a burden having walk far to heat up a meal and not being able to clean things of floor. I undertand cleaners come around, but having a family there that equipment would do us good. Please also be specific with "No Smoking" instructions as it states not to smoke in unit or on premises and not in complex itself as complex also has other areas. Please make instructions more specific.
