Very rustic property, eco ethos was very evident with signs everywhere about water conservation. Enjoyed my stay, booked onto a snorkelling tour that the lodge also offers which was incredible. My only disappointment was the lodge not having a hairdryer that I could borrow following the snorkelling, maybe something to consider.

Loved our stay in the jungle! Great food at the cafe. Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef was amazing—make sure you rent a wetsuit to avoid a bad burn! Room was clean & ensuite bathroom was great. Loved sitting out on the little porch in the evenings.

This hotel was amazing. Such a cool experience nestled in the middle of the rainforest. It was a beautiful property with lots of activities available close by. The room was beautiful and clean and the property was gorgeous. Amazing shared amenities and pool.. and a store right across the street for food/drinks etc. and there is a walking path so you can explore the rainforest right out the front door
