Room was excellent. The only issue was that we didn’t receive a message with our lockbox combination to get in the room. We went to the cafe down the road and they were able to get it for us. So no harm done, but if the cafe was closed we might have been in trouble. I’m sure this is a one of though, so please don’t let it deter you from a fantastic stay!

The cabin was cosy and quiet. We enjoyed that it had a spa however the covers for some of the jets were missing and needed replacing. It was lovely to have wallabies visit while sitting on the balcony in the afternoon.

The room was a little dated, but clean and comfortably. Because there were very few options to by food or places to eat, or a stove top in the cabin, it would have been good to have a webber bbq outside the cabin to cook on. The communal BBQ the only option for cooking, and the cooking implements were dirty and needed to be cleaned.
