Amazing stay! The kids room and playground outside are great for kids, personally had so much fun at putt putt area. Room was very spacious and clean. Requested room assistance to light the fire for me and was very fast and efficient. Travelled alone with kids and felt safe entire time. Thanks again everyone 💕

Our stay was exactly what we wanted, peaceful, relaxing and good service. Was a bit of renovations going on, but did not hinder our stay. Work on railway on our first night was really noisy

Elgin is great and filled with lots of places to visit. I would recommend popping in at the railway market and Charles Fox (it’s a bit of a distance but the champers is with it)

Close enough to get there quick and far enough to escape the 'citylife' and experience forests, home made bakes and beautiful farms...
