Such a fantastic quiet place for the family to stay in. Stayed in a cabin with 2 adults and 4 kids and it was very comfortable and clean. Undercover carport to park your car right next to the cabin. Toilets and showers were very clean and the whole atmosphere from the tropical gardens and birds instantly made you feel relaxed like you don’t want to leave. We loved the free daily bird feeding, heaps of lorikeets that come and land on your head, arm for feeding. Lots of photo opportunities. Pool area is fenced off and it’s a wonderful area to sit back relax and take a dip. My family will definitely be back here again. Thanks so much for providing a clean welcoming environment for us to enjoy.
