Room wasn't super clean but fine. Very quiet so made for a relaxing stay. Nice to look out on the bushland. Breakfast left a bit to be desired. Cereal was mostly empty. I feel it was quite expensive for what it offered.

Was advertised with wifi but there is no wifi in rooms. Also bed was very hard and bedding wasnt great. Toilet seat wasnt attached and coffee machine was broken. The location more than makes up for the shortcomings but with a bit of updating of technology and beds etc could be so much nicer. Has definite five star potential but needs work and no wifi when advertised to have it is a bit rude at this price point.

This is a property I would love to visit for a week for solitude, recouperation, relaxation, meditation, and simply finding myself. Sue was marvelous and very hands on ensuring my needs were met. I can see this as a place that can provide a person some quality time to tune out from the busy world. It was hard to believe I was between the busy Brisbane and Gold Coast areas. All that was missing was an open fire that would simply add to the atmosphere. The little complimentary touches were different and welcoming. I would recommend this stay to anyone. I wish I could have stayed longer.

What an absolute pleasure staying here. The cabin has everything you need, plus it was pet friendly. It clean and comfortable. The screened balcony was perfect, no bugs getting in, my puppy not getting out, but we could still feel the breeze and see out at the view with no issues. Sue (the owner) was so helpful and friendly. We ended up staying an extra night. The only thing missing, was some walking tracks. It would have been great to get out into the trees and have a look around. But just a quick drive down the road and there was a pet friendly cafe and park.
