The day was great but the hill was a bit tough for my wife and a few other older people , I think some way of transport up the hill would be great like a 6 / 8 seat golf buggy.

I had a fabulous day would do this again with our overseas visitors, and friends from interstate. Staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful
