We thoroughlu enjoyed our stay at the koala sanctuary. The accommodation was exceptionally clean, comfortable amd well equipped. The staff were enthusiastic, pleasant and knowledgable. Nelson and Anna Bay are beautiful beaches nearby and we enjoyed our dolohon cruise and visit Tamoora natioan park. It was great to support the excellent work done by the centre by staying here.

This property is amazing. So comfortable, clean, with a breakfast basket and late check in possibilities. The access to koalas is unprecedented. What a great place. The only downside is the poor signal/wifi/phone connection but that is not something the facility can do anything about.
