We Are Now Closed
We haven’t deregistered this fb page but wish to let people know that we are no longer operating. We are keeping it visible for posterity as we are still in touch with a number of our past guests and have fond memories with many.
Four years ago we leased the premises to another company for the purpose of accommodating farm workers from the Pacific Islands and Timor-Leste as part of the PALM scheme. They have now purchased the premises outright.
We will be seeing some of you in the next while. Farewell and Happy Futures to You All.
