We liked our stay here. The cabin was beautiful. We saw a koala our first night, and loved the daily ranbow lorikeet visits. Shops are a short drive. The receptionist was fantastic, and was able to help us upon arrival with baby wipes, when we ran out as we arrived!! Thanks again :) The Spa was not usable - the jets were coated in an orange film and it is clear that it has not had a quality clean in a long time! Dirty washing was also left in the washing machine. The laundry here is dismal, and placed inside an in-use bathroom.... We were unaware of the early and very loud Zumba class running out the hall of right next to our cabin, that was a loud and very early start :( Whilst nice, this stay did not meet our expectations.

Friendliness of the staff was second to none - nothing was too difficult The villa was exceptionally clean and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed for cooking all meals We absolutely loved the spa bath as well as the view from the front verandah We had a wonderfully relaxing stay and will be making this place a destination for an annual holiday - except next time for longer!!

The word that comes to mind is magical. Amazing experience staying in the glamping tent. The birds, the stars, the view.. it was just magical! There are 2 resident koalas but we were not sble to find them. Really great food at Cheeky Dog right down the street as well.

When I was looking at the property the website said that the toilet had been removed from the Glamping tents but the other bathroom components were still there. When we checked in the shower and basin had been removed. Even though we were close to the amenities this isn’t what was advertised. The website needs to be updated to remove any false information .
