Loved it! Hope one day to return.
Pros:

Fantastic location nestled in the bush. Beautiful birds and even a quoll and echidna all within the discovery park! So many bushwalks can start right from your door. So relaxing. Room and bathroom extremely clean. Restaurant meals were really excellent and all the staff we interacted with were just fantastic. The general store/supermarket was so well stocked with all the essentials and lots of treats too.

Disappointed very poor effort from the place
Pros:

Room was small but good and clean bed was also good and clean .Water was smelly .no Wi-Fi, small cheap Tv few channels no plates or knives or forks or spoons table cereal bowl would have been nice very small box of milk for over $300 per night for two seniors was not good value for our meagre pension money very disappointed We won't be back again .(breakfast was great value for money pity it could not have been had for a evening meal as well

Cons:

Room and evening meals and a very small .choice on the menu which would have been poor on a takeaway van no knives forks or spoons or plates or cereal bowls in our room so stuck with the very poor restaurant and so far behind the times with no Wi-Fi its 2026 for goodness's sake not happy and we won't be coming back unless things improve a lot for over $300 per night daylight robbery I would say

Absolutely wonderful. Highlights were the engraved rock art tour and the scenic flight.
Pros:

Stunning location and great staff

Cons:

We are both vegan and we stayed two nights and had to have the same meal twice as there was only the one option for us. I think if you had a couple of dishes that could easily be adapted that would be great.
