A magical location

What a beautiful stay! Highlights for us was the log fire, cosy king bed and having a cuppa with the cockatoos and lorikeets in the morning.

Relaxing haven

Lovely and peaceful property. Very private and quiet amongst the rainforest. The birds came to eat the seed which was a highlight. Spa was great. Close to nearby towns for shopping and coffee
