“The heritage property has a prime waterfront location and a nine-hole golf course dating back to 1925; its storied past as a Dutch mansion blends with leisure and business amenities. Dining includes diverse menus, though some past guests found the breakfast underwhelming and service slow. For travelers seeking a unique setting, it presents an interesting option despite the mixed feedback.”
