Amazing , unique and special location and vessel. History, nature and relaxation. Simple but comfortable and very homey.

A worry but with potential
Great Location although a little hard to find down a muddy road through a paddock
No fire alarm. No flue on the gas heater. Cereal packs open. No 240 volts. Half the lights don’t work. Very steep stairs. Soft bed. Bathroom floor rotted out. Worn out lounge furniture. Shoddy finishes and floors. Dilapidated gang way and outside decks, Insecure door locks ( simple internal type door locks) didn’t meet my expectations. I feel it is a disaster waiting to happen
