Nice and quiet. Very cosy and relaxing. Will definitely be back
Leanne
We had a nice 4 night stay in the Owl pod. It's in a quiet location but within a short drive to pubs and shops. It is well equipped and spacious. The hot tub was great and warm for our arrival. We were able to bring our dog too who had a great time.

We stayed to compete in the xterra event at Western Park and it couldn't have been better. The location is quiet, beautiful but not far away from nearby villages n towns too. The pod was clean, comfortable, functional and had everything we needed. The garden and hot tub were excellent, water is clean without overuse of chemicals, it is private and Read morehad some nice chairs n seating area. We have been to a lot of similar places, this is no1. Hide

Myself, Daughter Mariesha and Daisy enjoyed our stay. Tawny Pod was lovely and in a very scenic spot and lovely and quiet.

Loved every moment of it. It wasn't over crowded with pods. It was a lovely small family business. The dog Eric loved being on a mini break with us. He settled in so well its was like a home away from home.
