Sue and Tony were excellent hosts. Even had us for dinner one night. Great rain forest surroundings, magnificent pool for laps, and an escorted walk to the Endeavour River. Super comfortable room including bed. Well maintained. Short drive from town.

This property is out of town and that contributes to its appeal. It is the retreat it purports to be. It is quiet, tranquil and set in the most beautiful lush tropical gardens and with a beautiful pool. We enjoyed tropical rain which is a treat. The rooms are great, beautifully decorated with attention to detail like beautiful sheets and fresh flowers, and with lovely garden outlooks. Lovely hosts. We could move in! Karen and Brett

Sue & Tony were very hospitable and helpful in letting us know about things to see in the area. It is obvious they have put a lot of time and effort in getting the property to the standard it is. Breakfast was excellent. Having access to streaming services was an advantage. We had our own shower but were not aware we would be sharing a toilet with another room until we arrived. Other accommodation properties stipulate if an ensuite is included. Had I known at the time of booking we would have to share a toilet I wouldn't have booked. I assumed our room would have basic tea and coffee making facilities and a small bar fridge to keep our water cold but it didn't. There was a communal fridge (I recall) located on the other side of the homestead where we could put things in but we would have preferred a bar fridge in our room. This wasn't mentioned on the list of amenities so obviously was my fault for not noticing at the time of booking. Now we are aware of what retreats offer we will be more careful to book.
