Comfortable, cosy and pleasant.
Pros:

The cabins were rustic, beautiful, comfortable and warm, in a wilderness setting. The beds were comfortable and the staff friendly and pleasant. It was within a half hour’s drive of Cradle Mountain National Park.

Cons:

It was not easy to get information about the restaurant online and we only found out when we were seated at our table that there was no à la carte menu, but we had to commit to a 2 or 3 course menu at $59 and $75, respectively. The food was average and not good value for money.

Pros:

Rustic accommodation with all we needed for time together with friends

Cons:

The restaurant menu and food was more of a basic counter-meal - poor standard for a high-priced accommodation with no dining options nearby.

Disappointed!!!! For a lot of money!!!!
Pros:

A bit hard to get to but lovely secluded in the midst of the Forrest. The houses as such were quite nice, especially the newly renovated one my friends got. Their bathroom was nice and they had lounge room furniture.

Cons:

I was given the old style house, old bathroom, and it had no furniture in the lounge. It pisses me off to no end that as a solo traveller I get always given the worst house on the property. The lounge table and armchairs were completely missing in mine. As a solo traveller I pay double what a couple pays and every time I get the worst room. Your lodge isn’t cheap for a single person so a bit consideration should have been given. It’s so annoying!!!!
