Top 10 Rainbow hotels and places to stay

Stargazer's Cabin
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (8)
"We cannot fault this peaceful location nor the delightful cabin we stayed in. David the owner was super friendly and helpful in directing us to various places to visit. There was no Wi-Fi but cell coverage was adequate, and we had everything we needed as far as facilities go. Clean, warm, comfy bed, loads of hot water, very private... we'd go again!"

"Beautiful home. Super comfy. Suited us brilliantly. Lovely living area opening onto a deck with outdoor table and bbq. Bbq was a challenge - one burner very hot, the other only low heat but all good. Beautiful birdsong. Will be back!"
