3/5 because we had to kill 3 cockroaches in our first hour there. They were coming out of the dishwasher and we had to stuff a towel to keep them from coming. Definitely something the owner should address. I understand it's a nature reserve and you will get some bugs but to have the cockroaches coming like that is not normal. Also, it would be good if there was a fan in the bedrooms.

The environment was beautiful and quiet with no road noise which allowed you to hear the lovely sound of local bird life. We feel this property was once upon a time a little slice of luxury. While it seems to be still priced for luxury, it’s a little tired and very dated. Blinds and bathroom grout were mouldy, the furniture lacquer was sticky, the kitchen cupboards had a funky smell, the mattress was not the most comfortable and the kitchen utilities are in need of an update. The owner advised on arrival that the previous owners had removed a main window blind which meant the morning sun shined directly onto your face in bed when it rose. We wouldn’t have booked had we known this. We simply think it was overpriced for what it offers.

Spa was amazing at night time, looking up at the stars. Possums were very friendly followed us around everywhere & eat out of your hands.
