Very friendly staff, great food and an absolutely stunning location. Only mild downside for me was I found the bed not very comfortable (soft mattress on a spring base bunk), but the kids absolutely loved it!

Beautiful 2km walk on property, but they need to refresh the 'pink' ties on the walk (they're white now) and put them closer together, especially at the furthest point of the circuit. I got briefly (but scarily) lost late in the afternoon.

Quaint bush setting. The wife and I loved the quietness and seclusion, of the Chalet.

A great place to chill in a very easy environment. Arnie and Rocky provide a relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast was great and dinner was even better. If you want a 5 star pampered place to stay this is not for you. If you want somewhere that’s affordable and just like home then this is your place. I’d happily go back. Great value for money.

Our hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating of all our requests; the dinners were delicious and the lodge very cosy.

Lovely and cosy Chalets. Nice breakfast. Really nice to relax as a family by the fire and play board games while you wait for dinner. Bring a bottle of wine. Car park a little far from chalets and if you have a 2wd and it’s wet- take care!

Very cosy, lovely staff

This is a great place to stay especially with kids. The main chalet has an open fire and a kids retreat. Plenty of board games and things to do. The staff, especially Gin, were great. She gave us lots of advice about the snowfields which were new to us. She was always pleasant and smiling. Meals are top class. The rooms were quite warm and cosy and very clean. Plenty of wildlife around. Birds, kangaroos etc. will definitely visit again. Thank you Gin and Brendon for your hospitality.

Great! I was staying by myself, so plenty of room. My cabin was essentially 2 bedrooms and a bathroom (as advertised) the communal area was large and clean and warm.
