There were plenty of things we love the place. Warm welcome staff and from the moment walking into the cottage, there was a really nice smell of the place. Beautiful One Mile Beach just in walking distance. Wild cute animals like kookaburras came to visit every day.
Nothing we didn’t like. Only one thing might be the sign was right after the other retreat and we were confused and missed in the beginning.

The beautiful gardens, and layout of cabins and the kitchen supplies were great. Animals would come right up the cabin and were friendly.
Mouldy bathroom, mouldy spa cover. Red back spiders and funnel webs. Webs everywhere. Inside and outside the cabin. Owner was rather rude and not very welcoming. Made the stay uncomfortable from the beginning. Felt watched.

Loved the cottage that we stayed in which had hot tub. Close to beach, activities for kids around, had loaded kitchen which was great!
I booked this place after reading reviews, however, was very disappointed with the owner Berry who was there when we reached. Berry was not welcoming, came across rude, gave us a lot of information as soon as we got there, didn't allow us to look around. We stayed there for two nights, Saturday and Sunday, on Monday morning we woke up early as my kids wanted to use the hot tub, Berry without letting us know came in the morning and emptied the hot tub, when I approached him on why he was emptying it, he was like I want to keep it ready for next guest who check-in at 2pm, my kids were very upset as that was our last day there and they couldn't enjoy themselves. I didn't feel the service provided for the price we paid was just, otherwise all good.

Lovely secluded spot surrounded by nature. It is very close to a great beach and not far from everything else the area has to offer.
The composting toilet takes a bit of getting used to but is fine.

There was no breakfast need to cater for yourself the location quiet and calming you have your oven mirowave and fridge too use the spa was amazing and wildlife was so friendly
The only draw back we had was the stank of the place from the compostable toilet uhad to leave the toilet seat down or bugs were everywhere and not the cleanest place

Very peaceful and connected to nature . A great spot if you are looking to get away from the daily grind . Lovely wildlife right at your door and each cabin is privately set so you can enjoy the front deck .

Bookings.com totally misrepresented the location of this property. We were looking for a beachfront location and the main page for this site clearly said this is BEACHFRONT. However the beach was at least 400m away and nowhere to be seen. Having booked and paid were unable to change the booking. Very disappointed
8.0
Great location, close to beach. Quiet setting. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
The bathroom had a fair bit of mould. The hot tub was a little too warm to be comfortable.

Location is good
Eco friendly toilet is hopeless. It made my stay terrible.
7.0
Spotlessly clean and being in the middle of a small rainforest was lovely.
The bed wasn't really big enough.
We have travelled all over the world. Shouldn't really compare which place offers the best. Even the worst what you think there is always something to offer for some people. Personally, Europe has a lot to offer because so many nationalities, so many different cultures, I believe for everyone who visits Europe there is something for them to enjoy.
