There is only one word "Outstanding". We can't better describe. From arrival to departure everything was perfect. We were also very lucky to get an upgrade to the Captains Suite. A special thank to Joe and Patty, a more friendly and obliging service couldn't be offered! If it weren't so far, we would definitely come back again and again. Also thank you to Wayne, your House is Perfect!

Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
