This wing of the OLD POST OFFICE is what originally was most of the Post Master's Home.

THE OLD POST OFFICE LODGE Holiday Home's EAST-WING is especially perfect for 2-3 singles/couples, or a Family, wanting simple elegance in a place rich with authentic heritage - without all the "bells & whistles".
For those wanting more upmarket accommodation with extensive amenities, we recommend the Post Office's stunning WEST-WING.
