Bungalow was comfortable and had everything we needed.
It's a great property in a beautiful natural environment. The owner is very pleasant and knows the area well. The room was basic but comfortable, no complaints. Best part of the stay was walking around the large property, listening to the birds and reading a book in the shade. Loved it.
Wow, what a beautiful place. Our 'room' was bigger than the downstairs of our house back in the UK.
Keith was wonderful. Told us the history of his home.
We were only sorry thst we'd only got one night there.
Amazing Place .
Loved the fruit garden .
Will definitely go again.

Keith was a fantastic host. So accommodating and inviting. He showed us around the property and gave us great tips on where to go in the area as well as where to head when in Australia Zoo.
The gardens and area surrounding the property was gorgeous. Our girls loved helping cook in the rail carriage kitchen and eat in the shared diner and outdoor seating area.
The surrounding areas are great. Will totally recommend to anyone I know visiting the area.
Stayed in the Church loft, it was amazing with most of the original features still there from over 100 years ago. The fire was a highlight and the bed was super comfy!
Keith was very welcoming when we arrived and showed us around and to our room. You can see the years of devotion he has given to this place that have resulted in a truly unique and memorable place. Absolutely fantastic, wish we had stayed for longer.
Beautiful property, very peaceful yet wonderful place for kids to explore. Cute features like community and fairy gardens and recycling displays. Love the old repurposed train too.
The room itself was basic, but had everything we needed.
Perfect location for us for Australia Zoo. Would throughly recommend and visit again.
The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pots and pans. Several bird species flying around the property in the morning. I could walk to one of the hiking trails of the national park from this lodge. The room was great and only about a 15 minute drive to the Australia zoo.
The property is situated in a great location where you can see the mountain directly. There is a little orchard on the property and a forest that you can explore with children. It is also located near Australia Zoo (about 10 mins drive) and plenty of eating options too. The owner, Keith, is delightful and provided us with great hospitality - not sure how he does it on his own but he does a great job!
Simple accommodations in a beautiful setting. Our room had access to a communal kitchen rather than kitchen/fridge facilities within the room, this was described on the website and suited us fine. Keith was absolutely lovely at check in and arranging breakfast. We stayed here prior to an Australia Zoo visit and would absolutely book to stay again in the future.
Great friendly owner and unique surroundings. Felt like you were in a rain forest The lodge offers breakfast for $15 AUD per person and several activities like the Australia Zoo Tickets can be purchased at the lodge. We will be back

Staff and location was good.
Outside area is well maintained (gardern was good, also night timing sensor lights are on and convinient to reach room)
But no facilities available inside the room i.e., NO tv/microwave/fridge/toaster etc (seems they are at a common location outside a place which is shared with others ) - * it is not mentioned in the booking timings.
