Nice bush setting. Room was nice, very comfortable and the common dining and lounge was nice, but the walls are thin and noise carries into the bedroom

Such a lovely property. The host was welcoming, kind and thoughtful. The photos match what was there.
The beds and bathroom were all well made up and clean.
It was lovely to share a lounge, kitchen and veranda with other guests and have a nice community feel.
We had everything we needed plus more, and felt nicely welcomed that we would have felt we could ask if there was anything else we did need.

The owner was very friendly and listened to ideas and suggestions on how to improve the place and then implemented them.
This place is under new management and is doing amazingly.

This was a perfect spot for our adventures across Queensland and jumping off point for exploring the Atherton Tablelands. There was a communal porch that was perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking and chatting with fellow travellers. Also loved seeing all of the critters at night, as the place is located right next to a greenway where pademelon and bush thick-knee wander!
