Basic Bush Accommodation
I stayed in a standard cabin. Which was standard. The bed was too soft for my preference. Small holes in walls allowed tge local wildlife inside, from small lizards to spiders etc. Some may enjoy that ithers may not. No daily housekeeping. Not sure why bunk beds in every cabin. A sofa would be preferred to watch tv from.
