Everything was incredible. The most beautiful, comfortable place to stay. Kimberley abs the staff went above and beyond and the breakfasts Abe evening meals were great. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
We spent a really nice evening staying at the Lodge. The property is in excellent condition and really well kepy. Staff were extremely helpful and the food and service were great.
Perfect spot for a romantic getaway. Very modern deco, extremely clean & spacious rooms & a perfect bush view. The outdoor shower was my favorite!!
The hosts were as awesome! Thank you for making our stay memorable & we’ll definitely visit again in the near future.
