Property is amazing. Room is AWFUL. Worse than a motel 6. Not sure how this place has a 4 star designation, the room itself doesn’t even deserve 2 stars. That asides, staff is also great.

Thank you for your review. Art is in the eye of the beholder and we do have many who really enjoy the trail. and sometimes some of the art you can walk past without realising it

Paradise with a great cafe

The setting and the set up are unbelievable. Even a bad weather day is beautiful. There so many things to do with the walks and the wildlife and yet it is just as fulfilling to just relax and unwind. A.little pricey because of the lack of cooking facilities but worth ever cent in my view.

Relaxation at it's best, from the moment you get on the boat! All your cares taken care of & you can be as active as you like - we chose the relaxation option & it was great!

Location: Outstanding
Facilities: Outstanding; Value: You get what you pay for; Service: Friendly; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Accommodation was reasonably priced, but adding on cost of food at the fantastic restaurant and water taxi, soon ramp up the cost.
