"Check in and out was easy and location was amazing. The cabin was great for a couple however the bedroom/bathroom set up was strange and we canโ€™t understand why you would have the bathroom in the bedroom. Was also a bit annoying when the work cars came into the shed behind our cabin and started working at 6:30 in the morning when youโ€™re trying to sleep and relax. We also lost sound on the tv one night and would have been nice to have more cutlery and crockery so we didnโ€™t have to wash up everyday while on holiday"

"Although not yet refurbished our room was very good and didn't feel tired. Plenty of supplies, excellent location, albeit on a busy road (if you are a light sleeper this may not suit you), super friendly and helpful staff, thankyou Madi. Really nice lawn and pool area for spending some time outside and relaxing. Lovely simple and fresh continental breakfast. Highly recommend. Will be fantastic once the renovations are complete."

"I was pleasantly surprised how quiet and peaceful Laniโ€™s is. I imagine that it would get very hectic in the peak season tho. The accomodation was very clean including all the windows in the cabin which I really appreciated. My only complaint is that the bed was not as comfortable as I wouldโ€™ve liked. I would happily recommend staying at Laniโ€™s but perhaps bring a mattress topper if you like a soft mattress."
