A very relaxing and indulgent spa cabin that is well maintained, well prepared and extremely well presented. The kitchen utensils provided were good, making it easy to make our own meals - the only thing I would recommend is that you make sure to bring your own large oven tray. The bed was extremely comfortable and the surrounding area is beautiful - it is a delight to watch the beautiful wallabies - this area seems to be a wallaby paradise (including white wallabies). The host was very helpful and provided great directions - making it really easy to find the place. Unfortunately, the resident wallabies expected to be fed by us, due to prior guests feeding them. I understand this is not the host/owner's fault but as an avid lover of Australian native wildlife, I believe this should not be encouraged and perhaps some information should be provided to discourage guests from doing so.
