We loved our stay. Great spot to stopover. Would stay again
Pros:

The bed was extremely comfortable, the deck was spacious and perfect for relaxing and enjoying a BBQ dinner. Breakfast was excellent, the hosts were wonderful, and the amenities provided everything we needed.

Cons:

Lounge chair wasn’t comfy to relax on. 😊😘not a big deal though for an overnight stay.

Pros:

The hosts were very caring and kept checking on us to see if we were able to get to them due to localised flooding in the area (Dec 31 2025)
They kept us updated with the road conditions.
The view was spectacular, once the rain clouds disappeared.
The huge window in the shower that overlooked Hinchinbrook was amazing and a lovely surprise.

Cons:

There wasn't anything that I didn't like, oh there actually was one teeny tiny thing, a cutting knife would be a great addition to the kitchen. We had nothing to chop up our dinner stuff with.

Pros:

The peace and quiet. We stayed for Christmas night, Trish and Ian made you feel so welcome to visit their beautiful place. Hassel free as you can have a BBQ pack added to your booking for an additional cost. Saves time not taking food with you. Breakfast was great. Will definitely be back.

Breathtaking!
Pros:

We had the most amazing stay at VH! The reality of this place and this view is not done justice by photos. It’s breathtaking. Our cabin was brand new and beautifully done with island views from the bed and the shower! It had everything we needed and more. Ian and Trish were wonderful hosts. So welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable. It was a real highlight of our trip to stay with them. They provided a great breakfast buffet and we took it out on the deck overlooking the island. We also took the bbq pack and had a barbie on the deck. We were so sad to leave and wish it had been longer.

Cons:

Nothing at all
