Thanks so much Elsie!
Any particular reason for your preferance of Castlereigh? I figured as much based on the higher room categories (Master Suite) that it'd probably be the one to go with of the two lakeside properties. I wonder if it's worth booking multiple nights at a couple and hiking along the tea trail each day?
Did you use the Tea Trails as a jump-off to tour other nearby cities in the region and did you find that convenient/enjoyable?
I'm SO glad I came upon this... I've found some other nice properties too and have finally started to properly piece together this trip; I'm already getting excited! : )
