Good for an overnight stay. Family unit was roomy. Beds comfy. Bathroom is a little pokey and the pool looked like it could do with a refresh. Not a fan of having the bathroom sink double as a kitchenette sink but ok for a night.Nice reception from the owner upon arrival.

The staff were extremely accommodating giving us early check in as we were in town for a funeral. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with everything you would need. Club Forbes is directly across the road so we ate there both nights. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely stay there again.
