Beautiful location in the midst of nature. Very quiet and (thanks to the remote location) one gets to see the stars in all their glory on a cloudless night. The hosts are decent, the facilities were by and large clean. This being an eco-resort, is trying its best to support the environment. If you are looking to spend a few days away from TVs and movies and read a book instead - this place is just perfect for it. There are a few horses, cats and a dog in the property - also a few chickens :) The room we were in (Morepork Cabin) had a couple of electric outlets which allowed us to charge our phones. (I'm not sure if the other rooms had this privilege. I did notice others using the shared kitchen to charge their phones)

We booked 'The Superior Chalet - the ark' for a couple of nights using booking.com. The cabin had an attached bathroom unit. I received an email a day later letting me know that the room isn't available for one of the days and was offered to book the room for one day or move me to another cabin for both the nights. I chose the latter option and the hosts moved us to the 'Morepork cabin'. When we arrived there, we realised that the room didn't have an attached/ensuite bathroom and one had to go through a shared kitchen into a bathroom (which to be fair, was dedicated to us). The shared kitchen/bathroom is a few meters away from the cabin. So if it rains, you have to walk in the rain and get to the kitchen/bathroom. Also, there are privacy aspects around using a shared space to reach to the bathroom. This may be perfectly reasonable/acceptable to someone else, but to us, with our expectation of an ensuite bathroom and the privacy it assures, this was not to our expectation. In hindsight, it would have helped to clearly inform us at the time of changing rooms that the new cabins didn't have an attached bathroom. Apart from this, everything else was perfect!

Absolutely I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody at all . The cabins are damn hot to stay inside once windows are closed . You wouldn’t be able to stay inside with windows open either coz of flies and mosquitoes

Good location and nice bathroom facilities

Not always hot water in the shower

Keys were already in our cabin where the owner pointed us to, when we see the cabin we were absolutely in love with it, inside of the room, the bed was massive and so comfortable, the sight was beautiful cause it was full of trees and beautiful noises of birds everywhere, felt like home to us. We love places in the middle of nowhere but this place could never beat any of the other places we have stayed at. It was close to where we were going to go to watch our friends perform in a fight. So we were super happy we got to stay at this beautiful place.

The location is absolutely beautiful! Waking up to birdsong and sunlit emerald rolling hills was spectacular, and the treehouse was so cute and unique. We didn't end up using the kitchen, but it looked like there was one available. As the pictures show, the room is small but it's not like we were planning on throwing a party so the intimate, isolated setting was perfect and I'm pretty sure we had the whole grounds to ourselves in early November. The bathroom/shower were in a separate building which was very clean and well stocked, just make sure you take care of any business before going to bed because going down the spiral staircase in the dark is a mild challenge lol.

There aren't any power outlets in the tree house (or if there are we simply couldn't find them) which wasn't that big of a deal for us since we just charged our phones in the car, but something to be aware of if you're planning on bringing electronics. The dirt road to get there has a bit of a steep hill and is only narrow enough for one car, which was never an issue for us since I think we were the only ones there, I'm just not sure how you would handle 2 cars coming at the same time. But again, a very situational problem that we didn't have to worry about.

Lovely property with a nice barbeque and wood stove.. The common area and kitchen was nice and well stocked.

The hosts were not very welcoming or informative about the facilities available. They seemed to be doing their best to avoid their guests. The bedding was definitely not fresh. The bathroom was in a corner of the garage so very dark and cold.
