Our time at Pelicans Rest was absolutely delightful! It was everything we needed and provided for a very relaxing peaceful time. Quiet, close to town, clean, great views, terrific bird life and a comfy bed. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Weekend Trip to Top of the Lake

Top of the Lake is great! This was our second time, but this time we stayed in a unit rather than camping. It was warm, cozy, and well equipped, with a full kitchen for us to cook in. Our favourite part? Just how dog friendly it is, they were happy for us to keep our fur babies inside with us, as well as leaving them in the secure courtyard if we needed to go shopping. And the secure off-lead yard was so much fun for them to run around in. 10/10 will definitely stay here again, whether camping or glamping in a unit.

Loved my stay at the lagoon cabin. Really enjoyed the views from the deck, kangaroos were pretty cool too. Inside the cabin was very clean and everything was provided. Would stay here again if I’m travelling this way.

Honestly one of the most calming and relaxing places me and my boyfriend have stayed in! We got the cabin lodge and we were shocked at how beautiful it was. I wish I could show pictures of the mornings we woke up too. It was just beautiful. Even though this place doesn’t have showers the owners provide you with your own wash bath and clothes so you can bathe. This place was so practical and so calming. We would 100% go back there again!!
