Hidden Gem
What a lovely hidden Gem of a venue. Overall, a wonderful stay. Lovely breakfast, gardens and service. I do think there are a few small things that can be improved in regards to the room itself but overall a good experience.

Situated in a nice location, quiet, close to highway. The hosts are extra nice couple, staffs are friendly. The single rooms are a bit disappointed, with proper window or ventilation and there is no aircon. Otherwise, was nice to stay for the night as a stopover.
