Richie and Lynn were the nicest and most welcoming hosts I've ever had. Amazing hospitality & incredibly helpful. The location is perfect for the nearby caving activities and has a few places in walking distance where you can eat. The room was nice & clean, and the breakfast was pleasant too! Couldn't recommend more!

A great place to base yourself on doing the caves and surrounding area. Our room was nice and comfy. Lyn was a lovely host who went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Lyn also had a continental breakfast set out for all the guests, which was a nice touch. She also had lots of information about the area. I would certainly recommend a stay here.
