Fresh choice is about a 6min walk and activities are also in walking proximity. Family friendly staff was really accommodating. I have booked for my return in a few weeks. Owner is hospitable and a big heart Thank you Nicci Fitzgerald for allowing me to use your gas stove at your other backpackers place much appreciated 😍
I came back from my outdoor activity and walked into the fire blaring with warmth. Just what I needed being out on the water for 6hours. Thanks Luke & Chris
