9.6/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
We were booked in for the guesthouse but when we got here really wanted to stay multiple nights and were given the option to move into a wing of the homestead at the same rate which was a generous option -- Frances and Julian are wonderful.

7.8/10 Good! (247 reviews)
The room felt outdated and had crums in the couches. The photos seemed like they where from when it first opened so wear and tear didnt show until you arrived there. The lawns where only mowed by the trampoline and BBQ but left over grown (knee height) by the swings and in all the garden beds weeds where growing & on your way to the pool grass was really overgrown which made you question if your going the right way. The Pool room itself was ok, but pool maintenance could be better. Green goo on the sides and floor (say geothermic pool but will have to question that cause it didnt feel or smell like one). Staff where lovely though & beds were comfy.
