Magical walks, sunsets and wildlife encounters. Shame about the food and ambience of the facilities.
Pros:

The location is magnificent and the villa was very well appointed. - great hot tub and good kitchen and bathrooms. But the restaurant and rainforest cafe were outdated and the cafe in particular was depressing. The food was poor at the cafe - terrible Caesar salad with overcooked virtually desiccated chicken. Awful scone. Indifferent staff . The food at the restaurant was a bit better but very retro - everything was overcooked and over-salted - I felt as though I stepped into a restaurant from the 1970s - and not a good one. The location is magnificent but restaurant, cafe and food need to be brought into the 21st century.

Cons:

See above

Will not return
Pros:

Only liked food at the bar

Cons:

We had to prepay everything from glass of wine to what you ate instead of booking it to your room. Also food quality in restaurant and cafe very poor and over priced

Relaxing, enjoyable stay
Pros:

Spacious rooms with a big balcony. Had all the facilities needed for our stay. Very comfortable beds. The dimmer lights were really nice. Quiet environment with lots of nature/bird sounds. Heaps of windows that provide natural lighting. A crimson rosella greeted us at our balcony. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Would visit again!
