Elderly Mother & Son
Pros:

Self checkin is easy lockbox and communication letting you know how to find cabin & access code were clear and easy to follow. The location was amazing near township of Uki & close to pub out amongst nature. The size of log cabin is decent and full size kitchen has everything you need. The aircon works well to cool the cabin down to sleep in rainforest humidity. TV was huge and wifi was high speed. Firepit outside just off the verandah and water option in sink for filtration as the water supply onsite is tank water

Cons:

The step to toilet in bathroom is too high and caused issues. The power went out for approx 1hr and compost toilet started stink out cabin with no staff onsite to assist and a mobile number cant call as no phone reception there with telstra. Other guests came to our cabin worried & concerned about power outage occurring. Im nearly 50 and id would stay again if in the area but my 81yr old mum said step in bathroom was too much for her even with the handrail on wall to aid you especially when power went out and could not see anything. My strong recommend add 2nd step and have Mozzie coils for guests

Perfect nature getaway, surrounded by birds chirping and more trees giving a feeling of calm
Pros:

Peaceful, beautiful grounds. Well thought out and decorated farm house, modern bathroom with bath, 4 lovely bedrooms and 2 very spacious ones on lower floor with own bathroom. Lounge, kitchen and dining table were great for entertaining and feeding 7 hungry teenagers. Outdoor dining space was huge and you felt you were part of nature!

Cons:

Could do with any ant spray in the kitchen and better internet connection.

I am requesting full refund
Cons:

Upon arrival, we found the property to be in unacceptable condition and significantly misrepresented from its listing description. The following issues were present:
Major Deficiencies:
∙ The air conditioning system was completely non-functional throughout my stay
∙ Internet/WiFi service was not operational
∙ The property had a persistent, unpleasant odor throughout
Maintenance and Cleanliness Issues:
∙ Extensive insect infestation was present in multiple areas, including the kitchen, bedrooms, and common spaces
∙ Numerous fixtures, appliances, and furnishings were damaged or broken
∙ The overall condition of the property suggests significant deferred maintenance and age-related deterioration
These conditions rendered the property unsuitable for habitation and failed to meet basic standards for a rental accommodation. The issues substantially interfered with our ability to use and enjoy the property as intended.

Pros:

The cabin was great. Gardens beautifully maintained. Wish we could stay longer

Cons:

We thought that we could eat at the restaurant that night. Unfortunately the restaurant was not operational that night.
We also did not know that we had te pre-order breakfast.
Maybe you could put two stoppers underneath the bed that it does nor slide on the wheels
The light above the bed starts flickering after a little while.

The stay did not go as expected and we had to leave early, just after the first day.
Pros:

Nothing, unfortunately, the house was very different from the photos. Two of the four bedrooms had a strong mould smell, the cleaning was terrible, and the condition was not suitable for a family stay. We had to leave after one night due to health and safety concerns.

Cons:

Poor overall maintenance and cleanliness. We had to accommodate 8 people using only part of the house, including sofa beds without proper curtains or privacy. Access to the property is via a narrow bridge with flood risk, which was not mentioned in the listing.

The ‘compostable toilet’ is just a long drop two metres from the bed, divided by a partial wall that doesn’t stop insect
Pros:

Nice location and view of Mt Warning from the deck area.

Cons:

A “compost toilet” is different from a long drop. The long drop was inside, 2m away from bed, separated by a partial wall. Some of the louvers in the toilet area wouldn’t fully close, and some wouldn’t re-open once closed. The foul smells from the long drop, coupled with the opening above the shower meant that there was a multitude of of bugs and pests in the bedroom area. The ventilation fan in the shower area did nothing to remove the odour emanating from the long drop which was present for the majority of our stay.

Everything else was maintained to a relatively decent standard, albeit there was dead bugs on the couch and on the floors.
