Best host ever

The place was great - and given that Catherine had stayed there herself due to the flooding and cyclone, she had done a great job of getting it ready for us, when she could have just as easily cancelled the booking. Catherine is so accommodating and the creek was fantastic. Okay, so not the Ritz, but if that is what you want - go there. This is a adequate little shed-house in the rainforest - so you get everything that goes with that. The dogs also loved it.

Cute little rustic house in the forest

Landlady Catherine had set flowers on the table a nice thought and popped in a few times to check we were all okay. A little hidden gem basic accomodation but nice close enough to Karanda and far enough away for peace and quiet. Would make the best yoga retreat on the lawn by the river and an idyllic place for those wanting tranquility and back to nature. Well worth a stay.

Beautiful peaceful rainforest hideaway

What a wonderful property for nature lovers with the loveliest of hosts. Catherine was very helpful and close by but the cottage seems very secluded. The creek, rainforest and neighbourhood is a birdwatchers dream, peaceful and off the main tourist track. Will definitely visit again!
