"Disgusting conditions – this resort should not be operating at full price This resort is being advertised with photos and descriptions that do not reflect the current condition of the property. It is clearly well beyond a simple “maintenance period” and firmly in repair territory, yet premium prices are still being charged. Our room was dirty and poorly maintained with cracked floor tiles, mould, stained carpet, damaged doors, swollen cabinetry, dirty appliances, grimy cutlery drawers, partially used toiletries and bugs appearing in the bedding. The beds were uncomfortable, no proper quilts were provided, and housekeeping never serviced the room despite it being scheduled. The pool outside our room had visible green algae and the resort overall felt run down and neglected. Several advertised amenities were closed, including the turtle rehabilitation centre and kids club. Food quality was extremely poor despite high prices, and during dinner staff removed and dismantled our table while our child was still seated there because he was not ordering a meal, creating a very uncomfortable situation. In its current state this property feels less like an actual resort and more like a dingy motel that should be closed for major repairs."

"It was filthy, small and old. We couldn’t stay there."

"Host was efficient and accomodating. Location was stunning"

"Spotlessly clean room. Very comfortable bed with good linen. Air conditioner and fan were running when we entered or room. So cool. Roomy for 2 people. Great kitchen. Easy walk to town and shops. Receptionist guided us to eateries across the road. With air con running did not hear the town noise. Did hear the rain. Innisfail is famous for its rain."

"We recently stayed at the beautiful farmland on 2458 Topaz Rd, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Lidiya, our host, welcomed us with the warmth of a glowing wood fire. She is truly lovely, kind, and incredibly welcoming—she made us feel as if we were arriving at our own home rather than an accommodation.The location itself is stunning, surrounded by beautiful geography and open views that instantly soothe the soul. We spent time exploring the entire farmland, enjoying peaceful sunrise moments, watching cows grazing across the fields, and taking in scenery that reminded me deeply of my own farmland back home. It felt familiar, comforting, and truly “in my blood.”We celebrated our baby’s second birthday during our stay, and the place made it extra special. With the decorations set up, we didn’t have to bring anything besides our food. Everything was clean, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully prepared. Lidiya also shared stories about her farmland—how she built it and the journey behind it—which made the experience even more personal and meaningful.We also explored her amazing native garden, filled with diverse trees and plants. We were even able to take some native plants home to add to our own garden, which was such a lovely touch.Overall, our stay was relaxing, mesmerizing, and heartwarming. We absolutely look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you, Lidiya, from the bottom of our hearts."

"Thank you Ken so much for making my stay nice and relaxing. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the home itself is gorgeous. Easy to find, I can’t wait to stay again. "

"Great "Queensland" architecture. Very comfortable spacious house. Glad there was an air conditioner in the bedroom and lots of fans! Good location to experience the nearby attractions; Mamu Skywalk, Paronella Park and Etty Bay beach. Great walks to Nandroya and Tchupala Falls. Very clean except for smudges on the walls in the kitchen. Lots of kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, etc. Stayed only 3 nights, would like to have stayed longer! "
