I’m disappointed that my parents were charged for another rooms drinks and we had to wait for our bbq pack to arrive as reception believed it was for another room. This was unacceptable when secrets prides themselves on being up class accommodation.

A forest stay
Our accommodation was in a converted old railway station relocated to site. The location was fantastic. Rainforest all around with a lovely lawn area at the front. It was very private and quite, just the birds in the forest. The shower and toilet were a bit cramped but otherwise it was perfect.

Extremely Satisfied
What a gem of a place! We stayed in the Whistlestop cottage. It was lovely. Well appointed and spacious and a logfire was burning on our arrival - it can get a bit chilly in the rainforest at night. On Mondays the restaurant is closed but no problem as a preselected BBQ hamper was delivered to the cottage at about 6pm which we cooked this on the “barbie” area with a spa bath set up a path at the back of the cottage. It was a heavenly spot and was lovely to sit on the verandah afterwards for an after dinner glass of wine before retiring! It is a beautiful part of the world set in the rainforest and you feel as if you are the only people around. Very peaceful. This is highly recommended and we will definitely go back and were only sad that we stayed one night. We had a stroll around the rest of the property and down to the lake the next morning as we checked out . Incredibly beautiful place.

Perfect for romantic weekend or honeymoon
We spent 3 days here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have picked a better place, it was paradise. The treehouses are beautiful, we felt as though there was no one else around. The lake is warm and great for kayaking and swimming. The nearest trail is a few hundred metres from the entrance. We will definitely stay here again.
