Convenient overnight stay in a quiet location but handy to facililites.

The Lodge provided a quiet, bush location, conveniently not far from the M1 Motorway. Also, only a few kilometers from dining and shopping options. Would consider for a retreat style stay.

Peaceful forest lodge close to the beach with ample open grass areas to plays.

Very well maintained. Peacefully surrounded by native bushlands with two open grass areas for the kids to play. Very clean bbq area adjacent to a decent sized pool. And no flies!

The facilities were exceptionally well-maintained, reflecting a high standard of care and attention to detail. The location was bit off road. The location was strategically and beautifully situated, offering a serene environment - one of the rare places where you can truly disconnect, as internet connectivity was minimal or non-existent. This intentional digital detox adds to the charm and uniqueness of the experience. The overarching theme and stay concept was thoughtfully created with an immersive atmosphere, close to nature. The stay also had inclusion of a recreation and media room, which provided a perfect balance between relaxation and entertainment.

Lovely place, not overcrowded and quite clean and comfortable. Awesome pool!

We loved the facilities that were on offer and the cabins and whole place, was very clean. It was a tranquil place where we could relax most of the time. We received a nice warm welcome which makes a big difference.

Highly recommended.

The accommodation was immaculately clean and tidy and the grounds were very well landscaped. You often come across some places that have facilities like a rec room or games area but the equipment is often just an afterthought. Not here. Everything was well thought out and maintained with the guest experience in mind. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend for short or long stay

The cottage (gumnut) was lovely, clean, large living area annd kitchen and the location is stunning surrounded by trees and wild life. We were only there for one night but would definitely return for a longer stay. Perfect for families with plenty of beds, a swimming pool and recreation room. Staff member was friendly.

Amazing.

The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable with amazing attention to detail and provision not only of essentials but anything that might enhance your stay. For example- mosquito coils; wood fired pizza oven and extensive barbecue area; outdoor games for kids-cricket, badminton, basketball etc; rec facilities including home cinema, pool table; table tennis table; great coffee. I could go on further. The venue made us all feel like a home away from home and we will surely be back. Thanks Leanne and Chad for a truly hospitable and wonderfully relaxed time.

Lovely accommodation in quite location. Slept well and awoke refreshed to continue our journey.

Accommodation in stand alone 2 bedroom cabins which were immaculately clean and tidy. We had 2 cabins. Property was very well maintained. Onsite recreation room, pool and communal barbecue/eating area all lovely. Quiet, leafy setting but only 5 minutes drive from Old Bar shopping area and beach. Beds very comfy. Shower unit in our cabin was small but incorporated a small bath at base for a child. Our other cabin provided access for disabled and had a larger walk-in shower. We had a very nice dinner at the local club.

So beautiful accomodation!!

A beautiful cabin which is recently renovated and is very comfortable. So quiet and you will be waken by all kind of birdsong. As a bonus, there is a nice swimming pool. Close to Old Bar which is a nice little town.
