The resort was located in a beautiful forest setting on the seafront - a wonderful, quiet, place to relax the mind but with plenty of ocean and walking options. The staff was also very kind and cheerful.

Dreamy location and pleasant staff. You absolutely must take the kayaks out if you’re staying here! We were on the tail end of a two-week trip and were tired of dining out so we didn’t eat at the restaurant, but the menu looked good. Any other dining options are a 15 minute drive, or there’s an IGA with good takeout options that we enjoyed eating on our balcony.

Very friendly staff. The property itself is lovely. We stayed in cabin #10. Wonderful treetop boardwalk along to the accommodation tents………..especially after dark. We must say that the breakfast, unfortunately, was very poor. My wife’s fruit salad was straight out of a bag as you could taste right away the preservatives. My bacon & egg croissant came burnt as it appeared to have been placed into a broiler. It’s disappointing when you pay higher prices and receive lesser quality food.
