"The pet-friendly chalet was perfect for us and our Schnauzer. The secure grounds and balustrated deck meant we could relax knowing our dog was safe, and the orchard walking areas were perfect for morning and evening walks. So much better than a cramped motel room. Having a vet just 200m away gave us complete peace of mind. We'll definitely return!"
