The location is really special- with croc-free swimming holes and a deep-rainforest feel. Nice dining room area. Food was okay- but servers were friendly. Front desk staff was helpful.

Right in the rainforest. This place is a great escape and has its own swimming holes. Restaurant was reasonably priced given its remoteness and with good portion sizes. Room was airy and lots of space to move around.

Hidden gem

Food was really nice, frendly staff, spacious cabin with comfortable bed, very quiet, nicely hidden in the jungle so no signal or wifi in the room, but they have a large selection of dvds you can use. There is a swimming pool but You can also enjoy a refreshing dip in a natural swimming hole of the creek.

Beautiful rainforest location. We loved the honeymoon suite that we stayed in. The property has its own walking tracks and swimming hole on site. It was lovely to disconnect and spend time in the rainforest. The free continental breakfast was simple and nice. It was great that was included. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location, good rooms and restaurant.

Great location. This was the second time we’ve stayed here. Both times we enjoyed the room, wading in Cooper Creek, and had good meals (breakfast and supper) in the restaurant. The following is not a complaint - but be aware that seed pods continually fall from the overhead canopy and onto the sheet metal roofs of the rooms with a large bang - so expect noise day and night from this (both of our stays were in July so this might be seasonal). Cooper Creek is really the star attraction for this location. Don’t miss going for a wade in the creek!

Upgraded to the honeymoon suite; unique room and bathroom set up. Exceeded expectations. Beautiful place to be one with nature. No wifi in the room turned out to be ‘nice’. Sometimes one just needs to be off the grid! Breakfast could be better.
