The room we had was a self contained villa on one floor and was huge. View was lovely and plenty of space. The resturant in the golf clubhouse was good. Its a very windy location which I guess you would expect at the top of the mountain. There are plenty of walks nearby, but nothing else, so you have to hope that it is not pouring down with rain !!

Wonderful view, a great value for the money. We had a 2 bdrm villa with a killer view, spacious, well stocked. Truly wonderful. The meal in the Clubhouse restaurant was great, the slow cooked lamb for 2 entree - just excellent.

Breakfast isn’t worth adding to your booking for $30 each as if you just walk into the restaurant in the morning it’s only $24 each. Breakfast is just continental doesn’t include hot food, which is an extra $10 and barista coffee is also an extra. Thar stay was very relaxing and just what we needed.
