Lovely rain forest setting, with a beautiful view of Hinchinbrook Island, and fantastic hosts
Pros:

Continental Breakfast was very nice and the view from the deck is amazing !
Trish & Ian are lovely and made us feel very welcome.

Cons:

There was not a lot of space for luggage in our room, so we were a bit cramped.
We found the bed a bit soft, but other people may love it.

The views from the main deck are amazing but for the price I expected a cleaner and more comfortable cabin.
Pros:

The location and views are amazing.

Cons:

The cabin was not overly clean and there was visible mould in the wet room and on the curtains. There was no hairdryer in the room and the furniture was quite uncomfortable.
