Reviewer Comments:
Location great. Place is clean and tidy with plenty of beds, bbq, fire, tables and appliances. The bathroom is the only let down, the shower leaks and the floor stays wet because of the drainage. Constantly a wet mess. A verandah out the back would also be a bonus but you can't have everything at the reasonable rate.
