Peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The luxury tents are more like little cabins and were very comfortable. Waking up to see the forest and creek from bed was lovely.

Lovely spot well layed out & easy to get to our Unit. The little trolley to carry bags was a great idea. Road in from Hiway is more suited to 4WD, River & Coal train's bit noisy at night. We enjoyed our stsy Thankyou 😊

The bed and tent comfortable. Everything we needed for a nice stay. Clean and everything needed to prepare gourmet dinner but a small kitcenette area would be nice as still have to cook/ prepare breakfast dinner. No space to prepare or wash up. Way to expensive for what you get as def not luxury. Trolleys to take everything to tent and car great idea just not perfect when raining. Good stay but I’m glad we only stayed one night. Very expensive for what you get.
