  • This show was awesome! After the initiation you are welcomed into the village and go threw different stations learning about the culture and then you get a performance show and dinner. Definitely recommend and reservations book way out, so book early! And tip: ask for Mark to be your driver... Seriously I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard

The property was a convenient location. It was very basic but good value for money for a one night stay. The room was extremely basic didn’t have a sofa to sit in the living area had to sit on the bed. The bed in the living area was broken. However the property was clean.

Was quiet and clean, staff helpful. Overall unit was basic in commodities and could do with upgrading. Did not like the outdoor light which was very bright, lit up the unit all night through glass door.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
On a winters day it was the warmth of the unit that impressed my most, sooo comfortable - and I could adjust the thermostat if wanted. Everything I needed was there, I slept well, car parked right outside, couldn't hear the neighbours and for the first time I experienced Netflix, so did a binge watch. Fridge even had a freezer. Although dated, it was very clean which was one of my main wants and all facilities normally used for basic needs were there. It was a great base for a couple of days of peace and relaxation. Thank you!

Room was spacious and tidy especially for price. I assume it was shared hot water and the hot water was all gone when I went to use it. Having to go to another location a few km away for check in is also a bit inconvenient. Surely a there must be a better option. Digital check in?

I liked how this accommodation was central and handy to a lot of facilities. The room had everything we needed, bed was a bit hard, but that's just my opinion. and the shower wasn't hot I didn't like how above us were very noisy. I could hear TV, talking and running around late at night. I was also surprised to see ants everywhere, all over the kitchen and dining table.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
No BBQ facilities as stated and bathroom was leaking, all windows are faulty and AC was broken, so at the time we were told we are being upgraded. Upon moving we were given a room without full kitchen which is part reason we booked and was a very tiny space. Our experience was terrible and would not recommend…
