All's well that ends well!
Pros:

Loved the room and the beautiful surroundings grounds.

Cons:

GPS signal is known to be an issue at the site location. Whilst the confirmation did state this, and did offer advice to override/correct GPS instructions, that information was not prominently displayed and we .m(along with other guests), missed what turned out to be vital information. Please make this GPS issue a priority in future booking communications.
Once we finally located the site, our stay was a pure delight. We could not fault anything about the property or staff. Awesome venue!

Beautiful spot, good facilities, friendly helpful staff ( when they were there)
Pros:

Beautiful, lovely position. Wildlife great. Have what you need.

Cons:

The 8 klm road in, it just not just dirt, it’s pretty precarious in places. Also no one at reception. all left only wanted help to turn down the gas heating. Not an emergency so just slept with the door open

A nice quiet relaxing stay with excellent food.
Pros:

I'm a vegetarian and often have trouble with vegetarian meals being provided but the menu for dinner with a number of options and breakfast were excellent and I felt well catered for.

Cons:

The road in to Lemontyne Lodge.

Pros:

Very private, set in the wilderness. While there were neighbouring cabins, you neither heard or saw them once inside.

Cons:

Entrees were a little disappointing. Still good but not great.

Pros:

Our stay here was nothing short of wonderful from start to finish. The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and our cabin was spotless and stocked with everything we needed. Dining was a real highlight, offering a fantastic variety of delicious options for both breakfast and dinner. We also spent time exploring the hiking trails, which were in good condition and offered a rewarding outdoor experience. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to returning.

Cons:

The main access road is in need of repair, lots of potholes to navigate but not a big deal.

Nice place to stay. Need to improve food options and housekeeping.
Pros:

The quiteness at the resort. The room was good.

Cons:

There were too less options for breakfast and dinner. The room hand towels were not replaced on the second day of my stay. Should have been replaced by the staff without informing them. There were too less options for breakfast and dinner.

Very comfortable and the bath in the middle of the room was amazing
Pros:

I thought the meals and drinks were quite pricey. Considering that you really couldn't go anywhere else to eat or drink that they could have accommodated the pricing a bit more

Cons:

I feel the girls could have been more friendlier. To be a front of house for a place where you are to spend most of your time as there wasn't a great deal to do, they just didn't talk.
