I wish we could have stayed a second night. We stayed in the dorm rooms (one room for kids, one room for parents). The beds and bedding were so comfortable. The sunset/sunrise platform was amazing and so chill in the evening, with music, drinks and food. The bathrooms were very clean even if they were a 3-minute walk from our room. We at dinner at the pizza place and the food was good, the staff was so friendly, the music was a bonus and the vibe was super-chill. I had fun chatting with other guests. It was such a nice place!

Edith Israel

Guys in the Bistro were great, food was excellent!

Clinton Australia

Wonderful location and design, suited to the outback. Private, comfortable rooms. Very few other guests around( due to Covid19 and lack of overseas tourists. Consequently, staff numbers were also limited and main restaurant not open. But the Cafe was fun and served excellent food.

Penny United States of America
