Well known hotel complex in the forest. Worth going for the wildlife , birds etc. Good tour schedule you can join. We did the bird walks early mornings. We chose a garden view room which was dark with wood walls and not enough lighting. The bathroom was adequate but a little out dated. The restaurant was good , staff friendly and bird life and walking opportunities beyond any expectations we could have had.

I read the varying reviews on this hotel and I was a little wary but tbf we had no issues with the place.
Yes it’s dated but it sort of goes with the wackiness of it all. Good sleep, decent room with a view, great breakfast and all within a reasonable price.
The view from upper rooms are just worthy of * themselves.
Don’t be put off by bad reviews the hotel is fine and cheap.

Spotless room. Amazing location with views you’d never tire of
There was an issue with our room and it was sorted immediately
You do need to self cater as the tea room has very limited opening hours. However, the lodges are well equipped to do so

We stayed at several locations on out journey from Sydney to Cairns, and this place stood out as an absolute Gem. Paul and Craig were just wonderful hosts, the location was stunning and the accommodation was spacious, luxurious and supremely comfortable. Pauls food was brilliant. I cant recommend this place too much. Stay there! Roddy and Rachel

Overall, it was a very nice stay. The property is well maintained and in a peaceful location. There appears to be only a few cottages/rooms. The rooms are modern, plush and very comfortable. Some nice extra touches in the rooms. Nice, thick robes, good toiletries and also some self catering items (kettle, toaster, fridge, cutlery etc). The only thing that is somewhat negative, is the WI-FI situation. It initially appeared (according to the in-room booklet) that there was only WI-FI available in...

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this character hotel. The staff were excellent and we enjoyed a good dinner here. It was a bit like stepping back in time but we really enjoyed that. If one is looking for upmarket sophistication then this is not the place, but this place more than made up for it in character in our opinion and we would not hesitate to repeat the experience.

Cabin was large and clean . Shower was good and hot. Bed was comfortable if a little soft for my taste.
Great perhaps for getaway, but lack of WiFi in room, and eateries near by a slight negative, unless that what you’re after. To be fair storm Albert didn’t help, but did underscore whether location good or bad, depends on what you were looking for.
