A very cosy cottage, staff very helpful and warm, loved the cockaroos and you can see koalas if you lift the head up :)

I have stayed here 3 times already and absolutely love it!

The staff were sarcastic and rude at check in and check out. The whole place is actually holiday... More

I myself stayed in a 4 berth cottage and shared my accommodation with a variety of travelling Backpackers from around the world. I have been suitable impressed,... More
