I stayed for three nights in an upstairs room facing the mountains. The staff are friendly and professional. Everything in our room was clean, comfortable and modern. I particularly liked the balcony and kitchenette. The bathroom was lovely too and it was a nice touch to be given towels specifically for the hot pools. Although the accommodation is located close to the heart of town but it’s still peaceful and relaxing.

This was a very good place. The staff were very friendly and helpful and provided good information on the location (including a very interesting sculpture walk). The unit was comfortable and had everything that was needed.
