Charming outdoor area featuring a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and pizza ovens. The pizza served was delicious, showcasing a great culinary vibe for those dining al fresco.
The lack of a wardrobe in the room for the rate paid felt like a letdown. While the overall décor was tasteful, the high price tag didn’t seem to align with the amenities offered. Although breakfast was included, expecting more variety for the steep nightly rate is reasonable. More could certainly be done to enhance the stay.

A Hidden Gem for Food Lovers!

Perfect Pup-Friendly Getaway
Super cozy stay with our dog! The kitchen noise during the day was a bit much, but it didn't ruin our rest. Dinner in the bar was fab, especially the tempura prawns. Spotless and comfy room with all we needed. Breakfast blew our minds! Wish it was a bit quieter during meal prep times though.

The room was spacious and had great amenities like a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and electric kettle. The bath was modern and comfortable. The dining experience was superb with locally inspired dishes and outdoor seating by the stream, making meals even more enjoyable. Dogs are welcome in some areas too, which adds to the charm.

Families will love this charming place!
Had dinner both nights and the food was just amazing. One night I ordered the lamb, tender and flavorful, the next steak, cooked to perfection, just, wow!
It wasn't exactly cheap, but for the experience, I’d say it was decent.

The snowy weekend getaway exceeded expectations, with a warm welcome from both the owner and the staff. Room 3 featured a spacious bathroom with a large bath and a separate shower. Endless hot water. The dining experience stood out. the food was exceptional, highlighting local organic products, and the bar manager was both friendly and skilled, crafting a fantastic espresso martini. The relaxed atmosphere in the pub, complemented by chatty locals, made for a delightful stay. Looking forward to returning when the weather is more favorable.
