"Fantastic resort for a natural tropical rainforest experience. The restaurant is staffed with friendly people as is the resort itself. A great place for a nofrills getaway where the rainforest meets the beach. "

"Very enjoyable. We liked the atmosphere and a the accomodations."

"When we booked the “Secluded Cottage” we expected a rustic ageing house with primitive facilities where we would have to rough it with limited power and no internet. How wrong we were. It was amazing. Set deep in the rainforest, it had all the facilities you would want and more. Beautifully fitted out and well maintained. Even now has Starlink so internet was as good as at home. Just wonderful, fantastic, very relaxing, one runs out of superlatives. Easy to find with Kaylene’s instructions. Near perfect, just two disappointments – no Cassowary came out of the forest to parade on the lawn (although we did see one on the Cape Trib road) and we had only stayed for two days and should have booked for longer."

"Excellent ‘rainforest’ experience. Lodges right on the edge of the rainforest, surrounded by lush plant. Lodges neat, tidy and clean. Cooper’s Creek swimming holes amazing, absolutely natural creek running through thick rainforest on the property with quick, easy access; swimming morning and night in the creek was the highlight of the stay. Dinner delicious, a la carte menu and although not cheap the portions were enormous! Continental breakfast included and tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Great stay, highly recommend. "

"Absolutely beautiful grounds. Cozy cabin. Quiet and peaceful. "

"Very nice hut with comfortable bed & loved the outdoor shower. There were a lot of walks available. Hosts were very accommodating & friendly. "

"A lovely cabin set in beautiful gardens. "

"Very happy with the bungalow we had. It was perfect for a couple and we loved being in the rainforest. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hosts were also great. Our flight was delayed and we were arriving later than anticiapted but they were able to accommodate a later check in on short notice. Our gps was taking us further than the actual bungalow but there was signage so we found it easily even in the dark. I think the highlight of us staying here was being woken up by a cassowary right by our car. "
