The property did provide what I was looking for as I was entertaining my 4 grandchildren who are very much used to moder
Pros:

The location was great. The cafe is only open for a very limited time on weekends. I’d originally thought it would offer me an option for an evening meal so I had to be very organised with food.

Cons:

The cabin was very tired and I was disappointed in having to make up the bunk beds myself. The linen was extremely tired. There were no insects screens so it was problematic leaving the windows open for fresh air and to help cool the rooms. While fans were provided for both bedrooms, they were not efficient given they were only able to be used on the floor and did not give good circulation.

Great place to go unwind 😁
Pros:

It might not be for everyone with the shared bathroom facilities, but as far as value for money goes it was amazing!
Quiet fire at night and a good bottle of wine.
The lack of reception was a bonus for me.

Cons:

The place could use some love, but the condition is understandable with only one couple running the whole place. It would be a lot of work.

Pros:

Katy the owner was so friendly as well her dog Butler. Beautiful river which is easy access from the cabins. Our stay was short due to other committments during the day but by night it was so peaceful. We bonded because of no wi-fi which was great not having kids or us on technology. Different experience for us from our normal hotel/motel stay but we loved it.

Our stay was enjoyable.
Pros:

The location was fantastic, very quiet and relaxing. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

The kitchenette was outside, the cabins could be changed to have the kitchenette inside with a small dining area. The toilets and showers being a separate building, but we knew this before booking.

Quiet country cabins, great food, awesome experience all round
Pros:

The property is out in the country and is super quiet, the facilities are great and nice hot showers, we were lucky and had dinner and breakfast there. The food was very good and couldn’t ask for more. We used the fire pit and watched the great view In the sky, that’s hard for see form the city.

Cons:

We didn’t want to go home, it was the best relaxing night we have had in a while.

Pros:

Beaudesert was nice.

Cons:

The roads, very dangerous, if it's a holiday site the roads all should double lane, updated bridges, it's 2024.
The tennis courts had lights, but we couldn't use them.
