10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
I like how it is close to food places and supermarket and not that far out from town. We went to the Brooke for a meal and it was beautiful.
There was nothing we didnt like

The attitude of male proprietor when trying to find out information re taxi or uber.. was quite dismissive and not that helpful.. as it turned out not the correct information given to me and lack of knowledge
