The place was great and truly felt like home. The decoration was thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, with a lot of care, making it incredibly cozy and welcoming. Everything was spotless clean, super nice and warm. The only small issue was the upstairs light being on all night, which came into the room.

It’s a cute little place for a night rest. The bed and mattress need updating though. It creaked every time I moved.

The room was beautifully done up and clean. The amenities including the kitchen in the lodge was sufficient to cater the large crowd. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lakes at the national park were amazing. We enjoyed the walk around the lakes although we did not sight many birds.

Even though I believed I booked with cancellation policy. Between Expedia and On The Wallaby refused to refund my booking. This is after a major vehicle accident and my wife calling up asking for cancellation with compassion

We are two French backpackers who stayed at the hotel from 19/03/2025 to 22/03/2025. The check-in went very smoothly, and the two girls at the reception were attentive and available throughout our stay. The place is quite small, with around twenty guests, which makes it both quiet and friendly. Moreover, Veronica kindly left a note on our door to let us know that one of her friends could offer us a job for the day. The check-out also went very well, and we were advised to visit the market, just a two-minute walk from the hotel, which takes place every Saturday. We highly recommend this hotel with our eyes closed!
