"Great getaway for a relaxing stay high up in the mountains. Great cottages, well appointed with antiques and all necessary amenities. Amazing views of Kingston and the Blue Mountains. Excellent restaurant and bar. Welcoming and professional staff. It is not a difficult drive, but do not follow Waze - which takes you off the B1 and guides you through a shortcut that is clearly not meant for regular driving and rather dangerous."
