“Quite basic but still had a good stay”
Very quirky accommodation in a treehouse-like loft above the reception/shop area of this eco site. Beautiful surroundings. The ablutions are separate but near enough. Lovely hot shower. Bar fridge, microwave and kettle in the room. Good value for money, you get what you pay for. It was sufficient for us though as we were out during the day and just needed a place to sleep and shower

“Great food in an unfortunately not very comfortable stay”
If I would rate the restaurant, it would be a 10! Lu opened only for us that day and cooked the best butter chicken curry / pizza ever, for a more than fair price - delicious! Also, there is a shop on the property which makes and sells white nougat and Turkish Delight (Ely Handmade). Learning about the process was interesting and the product amazing! The personnel of the Yellowwood was very accommodating and nice.

Wonderful location beside a river in the forest. Great trails through the forest and lots of interesting birds about.The staff and owners are really friendly. Great outdoor area by the restaurant. There's a great craft market there on Saturday mornings that is well.worth a visit, even if you don't stay here. Choice of camping, rooms and dorms. Would definitely return if in Morgans Bay.
