Caretakers shack had piles of rubbish around, entrance to the property was in a state of disrepair. There are no cooking facilities beyond a microwave or toaster which is pointless in a remote area with limited shopping opportunities where you can get snowed in. The iron was awful and dumped water everywhere, the ironing board did not have a foam cover so anything you iron gets the grid pattern of the ironing board. Mattresses felt very old and springs were easily felt. Couches were awful, very worn and were essentially a thin piece of foam chucked on top of ply and were threadbare and worn. Toilets had mould growing on the side of the cistern and the toilet had unflushed toilet paper on arrival. Bedding was thin, not at all warm and pillows were also thin. TV was tiny. The only redeeming feature was the spa but only just. No way i will ever be back. Disgraceful for a 4.5 star (apparently, as per their website), I have stayed in nicer 3 star motels.

We had a nice stay there, but the bed wasn't very comfortable and we could hear everything through the walls, which meant the stay wasn't as relaxing as we had hoped. But we still enjoyed ourselves.

Cozy and warm with a good size t.v. Lovely bathroom, and a big bed. I felt that the the couch could have been a bit bigger it was just a small 2 seater which is a bit of tight fit for 2 Adults. And a coffee table would be good.

Really lovely area and fantastic idea to place cabins amongst the trees the way they have. Gorgeous native wildlife around the place to look at and listen to, which is a big reason we wanted to stay in the mountains. Great bathroom and a decent sized room, however the room and bedding was very dusty. The couch had some unsightly stains (I'd be putting removable covers over those myself) Mattress was very uncomfortable (springs in your back all night) and there is no onsite reception (and limited phone signal even for Telstra) so its a bit hard to contact anyone when you need things. If you can be pretty self sufficient and don't have allergies or a bad back, it's good enough for a few nights and nature makes up for the lack in other areas
