A great isolated bush retreat if that's what you're in to. Very clean little donga where everything worked properly... except for Optus mobile phone service. Very annoying as I had internet-based tasks I needed to complete during my stay, but my own fault for not checking this before I booked I guess. Miles away from services so be prepared with food and water. Also a very pointless gate at the entry. Did the right thing by openning and shutting it as I came and went, but not sure what it's purpose was...

It was advertised as a bed and breakfast price, but you still had to pay extra for breakfast. They need to change their advertising

I am a builder. I found that the pillows & bed were extremely comfortable. Everything was so clean. Bathroom facilities were more than adequate. The area was so quiet, which was a plus for me. Highly recommended

Jayne was very helpful and easy to contact. I arrived after dark, so Jayne left a light on at the driveway, off her country dirt road entry. Quiet, clean and a very comfortable bed. It was charming seeing blue wrens in the garden.
