We touched Australian nature and run into kangaroos were amazing! Activities are plenty and huge lake for humbling and running. It’s a hotel but I feel like it’s kind of villa. High recommended for everyone especially for families with kids.

This was our 3rd stay in as many years at the Novotel, Twin Waters. My husband and I absolutely love coming here. It has that ‘secluded’, cosy feel you crave on a couple getaway. We have zero complaints, which is why we’re planning another 2 getaways this year.
