From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for these wonderful managers! The villa was spotless and the grounds immaculate. A tremendous two days. Thanks.

This was our first experience of cabin accommodation and we were very impressed. It was a lovely start to the day to have breakfast on the verandah, with river turtles, swans and ducks swimming by. Although very close to amenities and places of interest, the resort is a self-contained oasis and it felt as if we were tucked away. It... More

Stayed only one night but was very impressed with the location and facilities. Next time I will take food for BBQ as free gas BBQ's are provided and the setting is excellent. Accomodation was roomy and the lakeside balcony ideal for sitting out in the evening.

The world needs more people like Desley and Brad who operate the retreat. My brother and I stayed there over Christmas and they were absolutely amazing. We were driving from Airlie Beach which was a long drive and arriving quite late. We asked if they could look into a Fraser Island Tour for us as we were going to get... More

The appartment was not fully equiped (nothing to cook on) and too less chairs, but the surrounding of the appartments was so marvellous that we couldn't bother that. Nice bahtroom, couch and good beds! Lots of birds around the house and... More

We stayed her as part of a touch football team from Caboolture. We could not have asked for better service. The rooms were basic but had everything we needed. They were clean, private and had a real holiday feel. The management and staff were helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We were so impressed with our stay that... More
