Beautiful restored buildings that offer a super well appointed and comfortable stay. Everything in the room is beautiful. The bed is super comfortable. Our room had a kitchen and gorgeous sitting areas inside and out. Lots of ample space and with the far right outside, and our dog in tow, we just loved it at the bungalows. Will be back!

So relaxing. So comfortable. So healthy. So hip!

Most comfortable bed I have ever slept on—even more comfortable than my quite nice home mattress. Great night’s of sleep. Very quiet. Very peaceful. Close to the National Park entrance. I feel amazingly refreshed. And it was a very cool aesthetic to the bungalow as well. Hip but also equally as comfortable. And the staff is very responsive on text. A+++++

I can’t really rate the staff and service because there was nobody around…which was kind of the point of this retreat center. It was the perfect place for introverts to retreat.

Beautiful...off the beaten track!

Beautiful place but not great if you are on a motorbike...we turned up on a Harley-Davidson and had trouble getting to the accommodation because of the dirt road...we ended up leaving the bike parked at the guest parking and walked down to the bungalow...

Relaxing and peaceful

Very peaceful and serene environment - the room and the grounds. Didn’t hear a single other guest although we know we had “neighbors”. It was a perfect relaxing place to stay for a weekend getaway.
