Take in river views from the terrace and garden, mingle at the daily complimentary reception, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge and laundry services, a communal kitchen for self-catering, and free on-site self-parking keep things easy. Wake up to river-murmur mornings and step out to nearby falls and bay.
