Top Hotels Near Blue Fig Creek Nature Refuge in Austinville from AU$132

"Fabulous views, kitchen and pool, and even the storms that rolled in were spectacular. There was plenty of room for our party of 14 and the kitchen was the hub of all the action, we would stay again. "

"If you are looking for an experience then stay here, if you are looking for luxury, look elsewhere.It's 15mins to town.Nice communal pool overlooking the Gold Coast.Communal seated area near it but it was covered in geese poo, not here and there, it was everywhere.There are goats, alpacas, peacocks, chickens, & geese. They are all friendly. They do know what the sound of the food container is and will come straight to you. There is also a dog running around. We stayed in Treehouse 1. Looks unfinished inside.Bath was beautiful and overlooked the GC skyline, however the light was on a timer. You have to sit still for 10minutes to let the light go off to see the skyline lights. If you move it will come back on. Would be nice to have a dimmer instead. Poor design of the shower downstairs. Only a curtain (stained) and no lip to contain the water. Water goes all over the floor. The bottom floor single couch/beds were comfy, however the main bed was as hard as rock. I had to sleep downstairs on the single beds while my husband slept up stairs on our wedding anniversary. Cleanliness was not great. Dead bugs in the windows. The windows didn't look like they had been clean for a while. The dust on surfaces set off my allergies.The kitchen dishes are to be washed by previous people, and they were not. We had to wash before eating. Sheets had piling on it. 3 floor mats but no hand towel. Assorted beach towels for shower/bath. Not worth the expensive price."

"We enjoyed our stay, was nice for our young son to be able to feed the animals onsite. Unfortunately we paid an extra $100 for a 1 hour private spa - I reached out to the company to ask for a refund as we thought this wasn’t acceptable. The spa had chicken poo floating through it and getting swirled all around us. The water was also green. But they have assured us they checked the water conditions and it was ok. The spa is located on the mangers deck of the property they live in. So it’s far from a romantic setting. We spend 15 - 20 minutes before we were grossed out and don’t even complete our spa session. Don’t book the spa it’s a rip off - should be part of the parks amenities with the over priced stay already. "
