The staff were really friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The beds were really comfortable.

The facilities needed a bit of an upgrade Also the room lighting was a little bad with toiletries or towels not being updated well daily. The gravel road 10km was a little rough coming in and out daily. But they do warn about this. Wifi was terrible so no TV options really or good phone service.

The food, service and facilities were exceptional! The fireplace in the room is stunning, and the food both at dinner and breakfast was some of the finest. Exceptional pool, accomodating bar and fabulous scenery.

Not at all a put-off from the property, but do be wary that the road through the rainforest if you have a lower car, the dirt roads can be dicey during rain.

Beautiful place and extremely friendly and helpful staff. They really go out of their way to make one's stay pleasant.Beautiful and stately dining room. The food was delicious. It was very cosy during rainy spells with a fireplace in each room and with wood provided for the fire. Picturesque walking trails in the rainforest and a rich birdlife

The access road is in a poor condition.
