Hosts with the most!
We have been visiting this gorgeous camping spot for years and this time was by far the best! Shane and Robert were fantastic hosts and the work they have put into the property is evident. It looks fantastic, amenities were well kept and nothing was too much trouble for them. We enjoyed a drink of an evening by the fire with our wonderful hosts who were more present than the platypus and can’t wait to come back. Thanks guys, love the queen of camping and king of keeping the fire alive x

Beautiful place in the world! One of the best sites we have stayed at. We stayed in one of the glamping huts which felt like a little treehouse. Amenities were amazing especially the rainforest shower. Lots of small touches around the place that made it special. Swimming hole was beautiful. Thanks Shane!
