    The place is tastfully designed and looks classy. Facilities available is amazing - there was a laptop available which allowed me to clear some urgent work, a luxurious spa bathtub, clean microwave, TV with cable and in-room laundry & dryer machine. Real comfortable and highly recommended. Hotel manager was very friendly and helpful as well. Beds also looked clean and inviting. There was also an elevator for our luggages.

    It takes around 10 minutes to drive from the Octagon to the Lodge. The garden around the Lodge is very large. You can find quite a number of chickens, ducks and three alpacas kept next to the entrance. The Lodge looks luxurious and is well-organized. The room with ensuite is clean and tidy. Tenants could relax in the dining room.

    It's a beautiful property. Equivalent to some of the best 5 star hotels. The room was immaculate, equipped with top of the range ... everything! The attention to detail in keeping this place in such superb order is clear. The bed was .. of course ..incredibly comfortable. It's well located for access to all shops and restaurants. One of the very best places we have stayed in 2 months travelling around Australia and New Zealand.
