I just clarified this question because I meant based on distance and traffic. Was looking for places that are close by that people would walk to so I could read up on them!
We have this booked but I am having misgivings about it. Yes, they are charging extra for it, now. (That was not the case when we booked at The Caves, or at least they hadn't updated their site, yet.) They are charging guests $150 for it. (I believe the cost for non-guests is double, but I'm not sure.)
I think the site says it is open Weds thru Sat - was that incorrect, or were you just not there those nights?
Was it also very slow when you could get to it?
When we asked for a specific room, they told us they couldn't confirm that until our arrival. We are in a downstairs cottage room... and they all look lovely so we won't be disappointed no matter what is available upon our arrival.
Thanks for the responses! It's incredibly helpful! And you're right, bucket list/once-in-a-lifetime experience, but for cost reasons, future trips will be far more budget-friendly so we can do it more. I haven't even been, yet, and I already want to book my next trip now.
