⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Star Accommodation! We had a wonderful stay at the “pattern house” surrounded by gorgeous decor, art and design. Nicola Cerinis work featured throughout is stylish and contemporary. We enjoyed the modern utilities and quality linens, everything we needed was provided. The surrounding garden was gorgeous, the goldfields location was fantastically central and the park view and proximity to the lake parklands was great too. We loved the place and look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you
