Airconditioning was terrible. AC was switching from cooling to heating and back to cooling both the nights I stayed. Spent sleepless nights. Will not recommend it.

The room was adequate for the money. Very clean. Walls very thin and if you encounter a noisy Neighbor at 2am who turns their TV on and coughs for 30 minutes, this is why I would not be too keen to stay again. Staff were lovely.

I upgraded to the cabin after the Queen was not as advertised. The shared kitchen facilities were lacking and things were broken such as the kitchen fan, washing machine and poor condition cookware. Wasn’t quite what I was expecting

The girls at front reception were very helpful and welcoming. We stayed in a pet friendly cabin it was clean, small but good for an overnight stay. Pool area is clean and inviting looks like it has recently had a refurbishment done. Short walk down the road to the convenience store, but a drive to go into town for dinner.

Disliked: Amenities
We were luckily in one of the newer cabins, so the accommodation itself was fresh and upgraded compared to others around the site. Not a particularly thorough job when it came to the cleaning - attention to detail in certain areas were lacking. We had to swap towels a few times are they were given to us with stains on them. The communal areas need revamping and improving as they feel dirty and run-down. Breakfast was poor - really limited options and when things ran out they weren't replaced (despite reporting these to reception). So much more could be done with the breakfast hall! Location was perfect for what we needed and a really short drive away from the main town of Airlie and other local walks. Free onsite parking was also super convenient. An average stay overall, but did the job for a few nights.

Absolutely gorgeous rainforest retreat. Nice simple breakfast options. Bed was super comfy. It is quite a way from the town centre (not walkable or at least a LOOONG walk) but that added to the quietness.
