Super friendly owner and staff who are always helpful with any questions or assistance required. Great location right next to the beach. All the facilities needed including a deck area to relax, kitchen, covered pool and bbq. Rooms are really clean and comfortable, and I even managed to get a complimentary upgrade!

Best place I've visited so far. Loved the wood being everywhere and the tents! But specifically the staff that was kind and always there to help us with any need. Clean, tidy and comfortable place 5⭐

Rellly nice and quiet place just in front of the beach! You can find room for every budget!

Our safari tent was really clean and one of the comfiest beds I've slept in on my whole trip. There is a pool table that you can use for free which we loved! The bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was cleaned everyday too, plus free tea and coffee (only criticism on that is the free milk was out of date). Free beach towels, and cheap snorkel hire - be aware there are stingrays on the beach which is super cool but scary if you've not seen one before (like me!). 2 seconds away from a beach, and a 5 min walk to a bus stop, a beautiful bay and to the rock wallabies at night time. Really nice cafe around the corner (tamarind cafe) and a little produce shop there too. The accommodation is really quiet and chilled out, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We would definitely stay again!

Location, clean, comfy beds, quiet, owner is really nice

It felt like a home away from home! Facilities great and atmosphere cosy.

I stayed in one of the tents, which was ideal for my needs. The location is great - not far to walk from the passenger or car ferry and close to Arcadia shops, pub and walking tracks.

Ian is very friendly and loves the island. The beach was so close, birds coming everyday. the tents were covered from the rain giving you an independant room, so very quiet with a lot of privacy. The best place to stay in the island.

the place was super clean. that is the first thing that caught my eye. On top of that staff is amazing, always willing to help. amenities are very good and they have some extras like towels for the beach, racks where I could hang my diving gear, they also have SUP and snorkelling gear… I also like that the dorms are 4 people max.

Ian was amazing and very helpful explaining everything we could do on the island. My partner and I stayed in one of the safari tent (West Point) for two night which was very confy and relaxing. Fabulous location just in front of the beach in a little tropical forest with a new pool table and very clean bathrooms. We also rented a typical Meggie car to drive around and it was so much fun. A big thank you again to Ian and his staff for making our holiday so enjoyable.
