This place isn’t about the “property”. It’s part of the starkly rugged and beautiful Gammon Ranges.

Nice to get a sorry and mean it
Wonderful location and had a great 8 day stay doing lots of hiking. However for the entire stay we had a fridge that didn't work. Complained daily but not once did anyone bother come to look. Just said sorry. Well we lost over $100 worth of food and ended up having to eat at their restaurant 4 times ($100 each time)as nowhere to restock food and ran out of long life food. If it wasn't for our own car fridge we wouldn't have had cold water. Won't rely on a fridge anywhere again. 😕 It seemed no one in charge. Staff just leave notes.

Wonderful staff
Lovely staff but sadly the room we had was tired mainly as the bathroom was unpleasant and the floor was very gritty( we take our shoes off when entering accommodation so it was very evident that the floor had not been swept) Also despite 2 bath towels and a bath mat, there was no hand towel which meant we had to use one of the bath towels as a hand towel- this could potentially be a hygiene issue. The ridge top trip was excellent, learning so much from our guides, Gary and Macca. They were impressive!
