Pros:

The property was "in nature" so very quiet & peaceful. Cabin was well equipped.

Cons:

We are both of a mature age & the bunks in the cabin didn't suit my sister & I. The parking area for our cabin was dirt & sand hence we were carrying the dirt thru the cabin

Clean and comfortable. I was travelling through to Sunshine coast, so didn't need other facilities.
Pros:

I left early so didn't have breakfast

Cons:

Food available for dinner would have been good. I didn't have any food with me and I didn't check out food availability.

Pros:

Nothing, absolutely terrible customer service!

Cons:

We lost over $220 on this booking due to last minute cancellation as we were not informed there was a ferry trip involved. Our child has sensory issues and catching the ferry (barge) in the dark was not an option. There was no mention of this in the advertisement when we booked the day before. We had just driven 8 hours and arrived to the ferry terminal around 6 pm, with 2 young children and could.not proceed. It would have been well over a 50 minute trip further to go around via the bridge which we also did not know about at the time. Very poor advertising. They take your money but dont care about you actually being able to get there, with little to no information about said ferry. Very poor we are disgusted!! We requested a refund, and explained why, as i contacted the property immediately, however, "Colin" refused. Disgusting way to treat a family with a special needs child!

Pros:

We bought our grandchildren for a glamping treat. We have done this before and it's become a family treat.
Unfortunately the weather was against us and due to wind and rain our BBQ was unusable. The Cafe was not available mid week so we had some very ordinary eating. Lucky we had some supplies we could work with. The Cafe might want stock some more ingredients and a sandwich toaster etc for days like this. Also some more activities for wet weather. Still loved it though. X
Not as much fun as our sunny visits.

Cons:

Lack of cooking options for when the BBQs are wet.
Lack of food options available to buy when the Cafe is closed.
