The staff and the owner made our stay more memorable. Very accomodating. The food in the bistro is amazing. Fresh and flavorful. Worth every penny. The waterfall cabin is very cozy and peaceful. Not for everyone though since you need to climb a ladder to get to the bed. If you want to experience tiny house vibe then this is a cabin for you. Thank you Chloe and everyone in the bistro.
PS: love the bread and the starter!!!

We stayed in the Log cabin for the weekend and really enjoyed our stay. We ordered the welcome hamper and along with that and the breakfast provisions we well set up for our stay.

The fire was all set ready to light which was lovely. The cabin is well appointed and has a lovely rustic feel. While we didn't experience any of the restaurant meals it will be a plan to next time (we had a fussy teen with us so the paddock to plate was out)

We enjoyed some of the local walks. Make sure you do take advantage of the restaurant events on while you stay. We will be back.

Even the teen asked if we come back. She loved her loft private space and Even squeezed herself behind the bed for a jail like photo.

There is not a single disappointing mouthful to be had here; it is absolutely superb. So much thought has gone into the food combinations and the way it is cooked. I just can't get enough of it. AMAZING
