Fantastic stay!

I had a brilliant stay at the lodge! The staff were so welcoming and so friendly and the food was delicious and they cater for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free. We even got to see some platypus on a walk close to the lodge. Very homely vibe and I would definitely stay again! T…

Hi guys, Thanks so much for your review....it means a lot as it has been quite a job to gain the ECO certification that we now can proudly boast. We hope that if our guests can take away with them even one little tip to reduce their impact on the environment, then we are happy. The night canoe sure is special...being under the stars surrounded by nature is a beautiful way to spend the evening. Hope to see you back sometime. :)

Hi and thank you for your constructive feedback. We will get onto tightening those bed screws asap!! ;o) It's great to hear you saw a Tree Kangaroo and enjoyed the hospitality and BBQ dinner!! Also our apologies with regards to the night canoeing guide. He may not have been aware of how he was coming across and this will certainly be getting addressed and improved upon. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and we wish you all the very best on your future travels. Warm regards, Tracy ps- should you wish to give any further feedback please don't hesitate to email me directly tracy@onthewallaby.com

Thanks for your kind words James. :) It is wonderful to hear your feedback on our sustainability initiatives. It is certainly a mission, but one well worth undertaking. We hope to welcome you back someday. Amanda

Lovely overnight stay

My friend & I booked via phone, only a few hours before arrival. They were very helpful and relaxed. The next morning the lady on reception was very friendly & showed us the best places to go in the area (including platapus spotting, which was a trip highlight!). The hostel is b…
