- "Location, food quality, friendly staff, knowledgeable guides, peaceful and quiet." - "Beautiful location, fabulous staff, great food, pleasant pool on the deck, nice room with amazing views, wallabies and water buffalo wandering around. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting the team and other guests. The trips were very good and it was nice to have a drink and canapés at sunset at a different (always stunning) location each evening. The airboats were great fun and we loved skimming across the water to see the plethora of bird and plant life, the binoculars in the room were a nice extra touch. Overall a great experience."
