Staff are so friendly and informative about what there is to do around the Tablelands. We stayed in one of the private rooms with aircon and it was really clean. Showers were amazing. The area in which you cook/eat, hangout and toilets were always spotless. Would recommend to anyone, and planning our next stay already!

The place was great and truly felt like home. The decoration was thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, with a lot of care, making it incredibly cozy and welcoming. Everything was spotless clean, super nice and warm. The only small issue was the upstairs light being on all night, which came into the room.

It’s a cute little place for a night rest. The bed and mattress need updating though. It creaked every time I moved.

The room was beautifully done up and clean. The amenities including the kitchen in the lodge was sufficient to cater the large crowd. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lakes at the national park were amazing. We enjoyed the walk around the lakes although we did not sight many birds.

Great location and friendly staff. Even an open fire at night. Loved the outside/inside bathroom. Cotton sheets and and a non squeeky bed would have made it perfect

Very friendly staff, clean room and toilet/shower. Wel enquipped kitchen. Parking on dirt road across the street. Rooms are noisy and there were tours arriving on the days I was there, they were very loud in the early morning at 6:30.

This was a lovely place to stay. I stayed in one of the private “go rooms”, which was like a private room made from a trailer on wheels. It was surprisingly cozy! I liked how there were sufficient share facilities and a large kitchen/dining area. The place was centrally located in town, making it easy to walk down to the park to go look for platypus. I’d recommend it.
