I rang ahead to get a room for father in law with a walk in shower (not over the bath) and therefore we had two huuuuuuuge beautiful rooms on the gardens. The receptionist was impeccable, the service was gentle and discreet. There were bushfires nearby and it was midweek, so the place was pretty quiet. So we had a lovely time with most of this gorgeous hotel to ourselves. Dinner down the road at the Blaxland Inn was great. Could have walked there. Beautiful sleep in a very comfy bed. Breakfast was delicious, especially the orange juice. Then I noticed there was no one in the pool, so we hung out there for a couple of hours till we had to checkout. Just a lovely, lovely overnight stay. We thought the reception area was a bit pretentious looking, and there was no chocolate in the fridge on arrival. But we arrived hungry and tired, so what we needed was that sojourn down the street to Blaxland. After that, everything was great. Will be back for sure.
