AustraliaLoved the tent – would be terrific during the wet season. Cool season too, but not so good during the buildup.

AustraliaThe Camp Kitchen was perfect for what we needed. The rooms were cool with a great verandah for all the girls to sit and laugh together. The grounds were well maintained and the wildlife of birds and agile wallaby's fantastic. The frangipani's were spectacular. I loved how the trees hugged the cabins and gave shade all day over the cabins.
