"Warm welcome at reception and advised where our room was located and how to get there. The view from the room overlooked a pond and the course which was amazing. Being close to a pond means you hear everything that lives in the pond during the night but it wasn't too distracting. Room was clean and well presented. Bed was comfortable. Bottle shop on site will be handy next time and short walk to Coles. Won't look elsewhere when staying in Victor next."
