Summary: Great property with plenty of space for large groups. Even if the weather isn't too good, the fireplace and various heaters do an excellent job of keeping both the common areas and the numerous rooms comfortable. Don't let the long drive out to Akitio put you off, this is a worthwhile destination.

Summary: The place was perfect for our catch up with our large group. Communication with Cec was easy and friendly. The fire kept us all toasty warm and the big kitchen made it easy to cater for the masses. The huge outdoor table was our favourite hang out spot, looking over the river. Thanks for having us.
