"Hidden Gem."

10.0

Nice clean modern facility.. Very clean little town. Its obvious a tight proud little community. River was freezing bring a shorty (short wet suit) Nice court yard to chat with other guests.

New world was closed at 5pm . Bad luck there annual Xmas party. Needs a community bbq. Has a cock top but a little small to cook in and didn't want to stinkup the room.

10.0

I loved that our dogs could stay in the apartment with us. We came in late 9.45pm and were so grateful that all the information about the room and security was texted through to our phone. We were greeted warmly the next morning by the owner, even the dogs got a hug!
