How we use cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device by websites you visit. We keep ours to a minimum. Cookies that are strictly necessary – the ones that make the website and secure card payment work – are always active, because the site cannot function without them. Everything else is optional and is only set if you say yes through the banner shown on your first visit.
You can change your choices at any time using the button below, or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.

Always active. These make the website and secure payment work.

Analytics
Optional – set only with your consent. Google Analytics helps us understand how the website is used, such as which pages are visited most, so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and does not identify you to us.

| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors for aggregated usage statistics | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Maintains the session state for usage statistics | 2 years |
Advertising measurement
Optional – set only with your consent. When you arrive from one of our Google adverts, these cookies let Google tell us that the advert led to an enquiry or booking, which helps us spend our advertising sensibly. The Google Maps embed on our About and Contact pages also sets Google cookies, so it loads only after you accept these. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or to show you adverts on other websites.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Measures whether visits from our adverts lead to enquiries or bookings | 90 days |
| Google Maps cookies | Set when the map on the About or Contact page loads, after you accept these cookies | Set by Google |
Managing cookies in your browser
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the website, including online booking, from working correctly.

How we look after personal information more broadly – including online bookings and payments – is set out in our privacy notice.
