We enjoyed our stay at Hidden Gem... well named, tucked out of sight from the road, at the end of a cul-de-sac. Hidden Gem met our accommodation needs well with good space for a family group of 7. Taking our own linen and towels wasn't as much hassle as I thought it was going to be. We stayed for 5 nights the last week in December which happened to be a cold snap with a light dusting of snow overnight on the mountain the first night we stayed... It was cold but the house is set up for the cold with heaters in every room and a fire. We hired bikes and road down the mountain which was fun except it was unbearably cold up at the top of the mountain road. The walk to the water falls part way down the mountain was worth doing.
We hired bikes again for our last day thankfully the weather was much better and we spent the day out on the bridge to nowhere track. Thanks Angela
