The Hilton Bush Lodge

The Hilton Bush Lodge

8/10 Good
"Stunning venue! unit was gorgeous and spacious. its lovely and quiet and private. only critique is there was no milk in my room/ fridge to make tea or coffee and thought the shower floor could use a bit more of a scrub, besides that was a perfect stay."
