Staff and venue great, food...

Liked: The room, nice and roomy and very private. The setting was stunning. It is a beautiful spot. The resident eagle was very cool.
Disliked: The food in the restaurant was a real let down. It did not match the excellence of the hotel. It was very average, almost like basic supermarket food, the chicken Pattie in the chicken burger seemed like a crumbed fillet from the supermarket. It definitely needs to be improved. Also didn’t like the staff member constantly smoking outside the main entrance. Not sure if for was weed, smelt like it but was just not a good look.
