Coming from the USA, we had never seen a kangaroo outside of a zoo. This place was AMAZING!! It surpassed every expectation we had, the bed was comfortable, everyone was very nice, and watching the kangaroos in the evening and mornings is something we will never forget!!

Glamping but not in style
Check in times are not 2pm like hotels.com advises, its 3pm if you are staying in the glamping tents, and 2pm all other camping styles. Duct tape used to secure the screen door, and not clean properly with pizza box and water bottle left under the main bed from whomever used the room last.

Stayed for a couple of nights in Paperbark Glamping Tents, family of 4. Kids loves the kangaroos! Awesome grounds, extremely well kept! Restaurant on site is a massive plus - food is ok (expect Pub Meal), and good bar on site with Gelato Bar for the kids. Area is good - way out of the rat race. Great place to base yourself and explore Noosa Northshore by 4WD. The lake is good for toddlers (ankle deep forever…..) not ideal for a swim due to shallow depths (think canoe / paddle boards) Would I stay again? Yes. The Glamping tents are fantastic!

We enjoyed two nights with our toddler in a wilderness tent. It was great value for money and our little one enjoyed watching the wildlife especially the Kangaroos. Options to suit every budget from camping sites to glamping tents.

The showers were appaling. No pressure and this really needs fixing as customers expect better when glamping. The fish and chips looked amazing, but the fish was off. The restaurant did not agree to reimburse this and that was disappointing and again unexpected from such a restaurant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize that your recent visit to Cootharaba did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.We are genuinely sorry to hear that the freshness of our fish & chips did not meet your expectations. Traditionally this is one of our most popular dishes and we recieve rave reviews. Our commitment to quality is something we take very seriously. Upon discussing with the staff they advised they would have openly provided a new meal but this was not requested at the time.

Our family of 4 had a fantastic time staying in one of the Wilderness Safari Tents. The room was comfortable and clean. Sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and seeing the animals close by was spectacular. The property staff were all lovely. Checking in and out was easy. Amenities clean, plenty of walking tracks, tables, lake side beach front to view the sunrise, activities and camp kitchens. We stayed Tues-Sat off peak and it was exceptionally quiet up until Friday night when the weekend campers arrived which is perfectly okay. If youre chasing quiet, weekdays are best, if you crave a community feel with music then weekends are best. The restaurant was lovely with plenty of warmth from the internal fireplace or outside heaters. And we also enjoyed sitting around our own individual fire pit near our tent. Thank you for a great family trip.

In both styles in glamping tents, there are no facilities to cook, not even a microwave. Room also had no way to eat meals of a night time, table and chairs outside but no lights too slow eating a meal. 1 microwave available on grounds in camp kitchen. Camp kitchen not equipped with tables and chairs. Disappointing facilities set up. Bistro food was quite good.

Thank you for the feedback. The Paperbark Glamping tents do not have cooking facilities which is outlined in the room descriptions. Being an Eco Camp we have 2 x camp kitchens on site for self catering and an onsite bistro for lunch and dinner. With regards to lighting we have minimal lighting to comply with the National Park regulations and the Wildlife that live there.

Pleasant stay
We had a 2 night stay. First go at glamping. Quite cold at night however we bought a heater with us so managed ok. We didn't realise we had to buy the firewood for the firepit. It may have been on the website but i didn't see it, anyhow that was disappointing as we weren't prepared to buy 20kg of firewood.Restaurant meals quite expensive ($43 steaks) but food good quality as well as quantity. Gravel road into resort very rough. Otherwise, a pleasant stay quiet and relaxing

Thank you for sharing you experience. We provide firepits for the Glamping tents but there is the option of bringing your own or purchasing wood onsite. This is on the camp T&C's however we will ensure it is communicated with our booking partners to also relay. The road is grated regularly however there was a short delay this year with the rainfall we experienced. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

Glamp tents are very clean, comfy beds.. pub food and service is great. Just wish they had breakfast service in the mornings. Live music was fantastic, on the evenings when there’s no live music, would be good if the music was louder on the speakers so we can hear outside whilst dining... All staff were very friendly. During day would be good if there were some arranged games , maybe volleyball nets ? Or climbing jungle gym area for small children? Fire pits are awesome. The stools around the circle pit at the pub should be removed- kids continue to climb on them, quite dangerous... maybe put some outside toys at the pub so parents can dine and kids play - camp grounds are right near the lake - great family holiday location.. shared laundry facilities etc- very handy

It would have been nice if we weren’t located 10m from the amenities block which smelled luck sewer the whole time. Also the beds were not made and were dirty and when I asked for new sheets I was given attitude like I was an inconvenience and told no cleaners were available so I would have to make the best my self. We also needed to sweep the room as it was covered with sand and dirt. And all this for over $250 a night in a supposedly Glamping tent

Don't go in school holidays
Glamping tents had no view just surrounded by other tents. End of school holidays so lots of kids that were very noisy as soon as the sun came up they were all out making the mornings unpleasant. Their parents probably got to sleep in because they were all running around other people's tents, very frustrating. Parking was allocated but that didn't stop people parking in your bay.

Unfortunately our stay didn't get off to a great start. The lady that "welcomed" us at reception was blunt and rude, and tried to rush us off as there was a long check in line, due to the long weekend. The Wilderness tent was very basic, no double bed as pictured, it was a double with a single bunk on top. The roller blind was slso broken with no cord to pull it down for privacy. The Wilderness tents are located right next to the carpark, which meant all throughout the night you could hear cars coming and going. Lots of vistors come to the restaurant and bar that dont stay there. The staff then started arriving for work at 5.30am with their radios blaring, again parking right outside the tent. Dispite no music being allowed they had a live band playing at night, maybe because it was the public holiday,and other people also had music with the base pumping into the early hours, and this was not managed. It certainty was not the peaceful back to nature stsy I had pictured. The toilet block and camp kitchen were both of a good standard. The place itself is absolutely beautiful, lots of fun to be had bush walking or doing watersports. If your looking for a quite getaway in nature I'd avoid this place. If you looking for a party campsite then this is the place for you!

Thank you for your review. All feedback is taken on board as we are always looking at ways to improve our services to all guests. We have 3 x Wilderness Tents with the extra bunk above the Double bed in which the majority do not. Allocation is subject to availability at the time of booking. The bistro is open to the public and to visitors joining our onsite guests for the day. We also provide live entertainment till 8pm on Saturday and 12-4pm Sunday which was introduced based on feedback from onsite guests (great atmosphere having a musician). We have a security guard that patrols the grounds to enforce the park noise regulations each evening along with an after hours number available for any concerns. We have instilled in all staff that no radios are to be played prior to 8am onsite Please feel free to contact bdm@ecoqld.com if you would like to discuss further and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Chillaxed camp feeling in a luxury, spacious tent. I believe the photos on website are deceiving though, you're not really in-between the trees as expected. Car park right beside us, could here the cars moving through, so didnt feel like in the wilderness as described. Lovely they had a restaurant in centre of the camps, delicious food, however, could have catered better for kids.
