I booked the Loft and Steam for a weekend to celebrate my 60th birthday. Fleur was a wonderful and accommodating host, thinking of things before I'd even thought to ask the question. It's a very special place to stay as well as having great atmosphere for a gathering of 15 family and friends on the Saturday evening. Plus I was able to take my dog, who loved the dog friendly town and plenty of places to run. It rained a lot, but we still made use of Fleur's 2 spare bikes, (loved the ride to Lake Elizabeth in among the tree ferns), sat on the decking at the Loft (or in the upstairs bath with a glass of wine) watching thunder storms roll by, and shared way too much wine and food prepared by multiple cooks in a fantastic & roomy kitchen. There was also yummy sour dough bread from the General Store, sitting in the pub drinking beer and watching TV cricket, and a Friday evening meal and beer sampling at the Forrest Brewing Company - all within walking distance of the Loft and Steam. I had so much fun! Thanks Fleur.
