Overall, I can't find any faults with this place. Communication was excellent from booking to the end of my stay. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the place is meticulously clean and tidy. The sanctuary is thoughtfully designed and efficiently run. There's a wonderful sense of satisfaction knowing that your stay contributes to funding and sustaining the Koala Hospital.

It was lovely and quiet. The staff were very nice and helpful. Everything was perfect. The grouting between the floor tiles in our bathroom needed to be redone, it looked a bit mouldy. We couldn’t connect to the wifi from our room. The koalas were gorgeous. I would definitely recommend staying here and will be going back!

Could not recommend this stay enough. I attended with my grandmother and 2 young children (under 2). There was more than enough room for us all in the 1 Bedroom Deluxe. The grounds that the accomodation is on, are breaktakingly beautiful and staff were very welcoming snd attentive to our needs throughout our stay. This is an absolute MUST visit, if you are in the area.
