Enjoyed a meal in the onsite pub/restaurant Would highly recommend this place. Very pretty. ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marisa 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place to stay. The Gecko Cottages were amazing and a real treat on our road trip. The spa was a nice touch too. Bit hard to walk around at night though due to no security- which made going to the onsite bar late by myself a no-go (i did ring and ask). I would stay here again in a heartbeat! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f8c61629-c06f-4c35-9856-9d60ce40e82b-1760074190970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marisa Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 9 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The gardens were beautiful and the shower with its big rainfall head and hand held option in grey stone large area was fabulous. The upgrade to a brand new room was also appreciated. The shared kitchen is very well equipped , clean with nice crockery and has a good vibe with it being a friendly hub involving people from all around the world and of all ages gathered to prepare a variety of cuisines. The restaurant on site is also a plus. The hot tub and sauna were also a bonus. Its location is grand too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39846254-c142-4360-a36a-800d51ffc436-1762679200335.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22a21b33-21ce-4d1d-b0cd-2dee7bcdf115-1762679193544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68f76cfb-0b87-45cb-bd43-5435436d3791-1762679214406.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/377aed81-0bc1-4045-bbd2-a6cff13642ee-1762679222174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob 24 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice quiet town, Rainforest retreat cottages were very nice ##### Jacob Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola 8 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful accommodation which was very convienient to the local shops and restaurants ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandi 28 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a wonderful stay - beautiful setting and so peaceful! ##### Sandi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely location close to town and restaurants and great staff. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl 5 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, highly recommend. ##### Darryl Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gavin 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stayed here for one night to visit the glacier.
