Absolutely incredible!!!!!
Pros:

The Lake Eyre Penthouse was absolutely incredible. My bridesmaid and I stayed there the night before my wedding day, and it was perfect! So much space, a beautiful space with an amazing view off the private balcony. I couldn’t have been happier and would love to stay there again!

Cons:

During our experience, they actually isn’t anything I can think of.
