The cabins are rustic and charming. They give you a feel of what it used to be like without the technology that are present in more modern hotels. While there were a few mosquitos in the cabin, I would not say it was infested. There was definitely enough room for a small family, however, one that can rough it a little as there aren't many amenities present. The bathroom was well equipped with a shower, sink, toilet and large soaker tub. The water was fantastic - glacier water that tasted great. No need to buy bottled water imo.

The place is beautiful and well maintained, but not worth the prices they charge. The smallest cabin with no amenities at all will cost almost $500 a night with taxes and fees. The restaurant prices are ridiculous. It's a beautiful place but not worth what they charge.

Delightful in every way - I particularly loved the aesthetics of the gorgeous cabins among the trees and the free bicycle hire plus DVD’s and games. The proximity to the Canyon walk and the friendly restaurant staff - especially Lachie. I did get food poisoning from the chicken in my salad however, which definitely was not a pleasant experience.

Quaint cabins right next to Johnston Canyon trail. Only issue was a lot of mosquitos in cabin the first night. There’s no air conditioning. It was extraordinarily hot during our stay. The fan provided helped, but it was still hot. Beautiful location and friendly helpful staff.

Great location to visit the Falls at Johnston Canyon. Unfortunately we stayed during a rare heatwave, so the cabin was SWELTERING. Ask for a cabin facing the river. Ours was on the road and less desirable. The only restaurant in the area is at the cabins. Fortunately it has great food!
