Endorsements
“This was our best Conference centre trip ever. We enjoyed the venue because of its facilities, freedom, cleanliness of rooms, firepit, kids play area and its surroundings. The site manager John was very helpful in catering to our needs and requests. He was always available to be called upon when we needed his help and kindly flexible to our requests.”
