The rooms were clean and modern. Staff were super friendly. Ocean safari was amazing. Turtle rock cafe makes the best coffee and delicious food!

Tegan Australia

We loved the location of Safari Lodge immersed in the rainforest and the Turtle Cafe was so convenient with its healthy menu and good coffee. Being able to take a short walk across to Myall beach was wonderful and having the pool at the Lodge was a welcome bonus. We did not take advantage of any of the tours but so handy have them leave from the Lodge if this was what you wanted to do. Our King Suite was well presented, clean and we loved our balcony deck overlooking the grassed terrace- it was all relatively private but also our stay was in the quiet season.

Jennine Australia

Staff was very welcoming and friendly, appreciative to have a conversation with you, our room and shared bathroom were both clean, beds were comfy, breakfast at Safari Lodge is very yummy (brekky wraps are the best!) including great coffee. Within walking distance you get convenience store (closing at 5pm), bar, dining restaurant, rainforest walks, beach (do not swim - crocodiles) and lookout points. We will definitely come back.

Marcin Australia

Beautiful surroundings, comfortable bed and great bathroom.

Tanya Australia

Very clean basic little cabin with modern en-suite. Pool was warm and clean and the beach was a short walk away.

Vicky Australia

Perfect location & is really one of the two social hubs in the Cape at the moment.

Our deluxe en-suite room was very nice! We did an ocean safari reef trip with Brett and ?Marie and it was awesome! Highly recommended.
