• Vanessa (9/5): -
• Louise (7/5): Loved it - The fly screen doors need some maintenance especially for hotter months/mossie season, I feel its starting to look tierd and old I feel paper bark tents may need some mould treatment and furniture updated. I have been staying here for past 5yrs I just feel they need an update i also understand it is camping and it is a tent, I love this place can't wait to go back
• Hoang Huy (10/5): -
• Rhiannon (9/5): Always enjoyable. - Always a nice stay- location and facilities great. Staff always super friendly. The showers and camp kitchen could be cleaned more thoroughly (wilderness tent block). Although they were cleaned regularly, there was still soap scum build up that needed a pressure cleaner or scrubbing. Same with the walls in the camp kitchen
• Alice (10/5): -
• Marina (10/5): -
• Lukas (8/5): -
• Nina (10/5): Fantastic experience, great facilities, surrounded by kangaroos, would definately reccomend it. - Glamping pods were fantastic, spacious, clean and comfy
• Susan (6/5): -
• Yang (8/5): -
• Hans Erik (5/5): - Fin beliggenhet ved innsjøen, hyggelig med kenguruene. Svært mørkt, skittent på rom, hull i myggnett, lite hjelpsom betjening.
• Joy (9/5): -
• Grace (10/5): -
• Sophie (8/5): Such a good experience - We had an amazing stay here, such a good experience. The food at the restaurant was really good and the bathrooms were kept clean. The beds were comfortable. Kangaroos everywhere was so lovely, and the whole place just felt really calm. Staff were helpful and nice. We feel like it would have been nice if the bar/restaurant was open till a bit later. The WiFi didn’t quite reach the huts and went off at night. The fan wasn’t enough to keep the rooms cool in the day time. Free shuttle should be extended to all guests.
• Tomas (10/5): -
• Tony (8/5): Staff very knowledgeable and friendly - Location overlooking the large field. Facilities in luxury glamping site has a kettle, cups, tumbler glasses, tea, coffee and milk in fridge. The fan is a ceiling one. Cooking can be done on BBQs and washing facilities on camping site. Relying on you to use the restaurant facilities. Bring your own plates, knives, forks should you wish to eat your food.
• Karleigh (8/5): -
• Sophie (9/5): - De locatie is natuurlijk geweldig. De loslopende kangoeroes zijn zo leuk om rond je tent te zien lopen! Het park is ruim opgezet en je kunt de auto naast je tent parkeren, wat heel fijn is. We hebben vanaf het park een Everglades Eco Safari gedaan, en dit was ook heel leuk! We hebben elke nacht kakkerlakken in onze tent gehad, wat we echt een minpunt vonden... Natuurlijk begrijp ik dat je op een natuurpark zit, maar het geeft een onhygiënisch gevoel dat de kakkerlakken in je tent over je spullen lopen. We hebben het aangekaart bij de receptie, maar daar werd aangegeven dat ze er niet veel aan konden doen. Verder heb je alleen WiFi/bereik bij de bar. Het zou een goede investering zijn om ervoor te zorgen dat je in de tent ook WiFi hebt. Het is fijn om wat bereikbaarder te zijn.
• Diana (8/5): -
• Tom (9/5): Great stay in general even it rained a lot, the tents are great and the restaurent is good. - The animal around the tent was very cool for the kids
• Alexandra (10/5): -
• Bianka (10/5): -
• Kathy (9/5): Great place - The nature Rubbish on the ground outside. Alot of it. And they need more fire pits
• Kelsey (9/5): - A must-visit getaway! It was very peaceful and relaxing. Heaps of kangaroos! We had one rainy day/night, so it would have been good if there was wifi in the cabins. I'm sure families with kids would need this too. We missed the Everglades tour, bit would go back and do that next time!
• Fun69ky (7/5): - Nice bar and restuarant No air con and poor internet
• Julien (10/5): -
• Micah (4/5): Not great. - The location was fantastic. The restaurant was excellent. The glamping tents were very disappointing. Mouldy. No heating. Condensation dripping inside. Summer weight bedding for a Winter stay. No kitchenet. A broken shower dripped all night and had to use our towels to muffle the sound. Shower recess seemed to be held together with cable ties. A fridge that had defrosted before checking in, so arrived to a pool of water to deal with and had to use the fresh towels given. Loads of dust under the beds. The springs poked through the mattresses on the bunks. You'll need to bring your own bowls, plates, cutlery etc if you want to save money on eating out for every meal. If you want to open a bottle of wine or a beer, there's no bottle opener in the room or camp kitchen. Tricky when you have flown into the sunshine coast for this experience. Camp kitchen has one old toaster and you can line up for the two hot plates on offer. Again no utensils etc. Safari tents are located on the outskirts of the park. None of the lighting was turned on along the tent stairs or along the footpaths to the accommodation. Pitch black at night. Didn't have torches for everyone staying because we came in by plane from interstate. One mobile phone light between us all. Myself and my family love glamping and have stayed in many different tents around Australia. We love the convenience and the feeling of being in a canvas cabin. This was the most we have paid ever and the worst we have experienced. Didn't mention to staff because who can be bothered with the stress when you are on holidays trying to relax. Restaurants food and bar staff all excellent. Setting was excellent as well. Disappointing accommodation though.
• Elena (9/5): -
• Campbell (8/5): - Area
• Jason (8/5): - Friendly staff. Tents were comfortable with plenty of ventilation but very small Quite pricy for a tent without ensuite and quite far out of town. Was hard to find. directions on booking.com took us to wrong spot
• Peta (8/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Michele (8/5): - Tantissimi canguri che girano liberi intorno alle tende, che sono molto belle. Per chi dorme nelle tende la cucina ( bbq + qualche elettrodomestico ) non ha attrezzature quindi per chi vuole cucinarsi il pasto deve organizzarsi con le stoviglie.
• Murray (8/5): Glamping like a champion! - Great ambience, excellent staff, especially Maddy in the restaurant. Tiny soaps! Time to move to dispensers. No bathmat. Lack of in-room information of even a link to some of the walks around the property. Available in reception, but would be nice to have more in-room info or a QR code to give a link.
• Lejani (7/5): A nice Glamping experience - We Loved the Glamping experience, and being surrounded by the kangaroos was a bonus The communal kitchen is limited. Only 2 gassy stoves, so you wait quite a bit to cook your dinner. It would be nice to have more BBQ areas, as well as a small playground for the kids.
• Maria Michelle (10/5): Awesome - Glamping tent were excellent. Staff ate nice too. Kitchen facilities no freezer and no cooker. Otherwise all Good.
• Juliette (8/5): - La localisation était top. Paisible. Nous avons pu voir pleins de kangourous. Notre terrasse avec vu sur la nature. La cuisine n'est pas bien équipée du tout
• Samantha (10/5): -
• Craig Paul (8/5): - The lake and kangaroos were the highlight The camp kitchen is very basic and needs to have more available to campers.
• Laurent (10/5): Très bon séjour - Les hébergements avec douches et wc sont très bien équipés La proximité des kangourous Faite attention à l’état de la piste proche de l’établissement car il y a beaucoup de trous
• MARIANA (8/5): - Muitos cangurus soltos e perto das barracas Pouca oferta de cafe da manha (pago a parte), sem opções para crianças, a barraca é bem quente durante o dia, mas agradável a noite.
• Leanne (5/5): Overpriced, though seeing the Everglades was wonderful. - The glamping tents were sturdy and comfortable. The international backpacker staff were largely unhelpful and peremptory with their service. A couple were downright rude when poor service issues were mentioned. Unimpressive, especially for overseas guests.
• Kristin (10/5): Good fun for big groups - Staying at Habitat Noosa is a lovely experience with lots for the kids to do. The accommodations are always spotless and well maintained. The restaurant is really nice and has live music on the weekend. I think the bathrooms could be updated a bit and while we were there the hot water in the showers near the safari tents kept running out.
• sarah (10/5): We o let had two nights but wish we had more it’s was just amazing we caught the sunrise with the kangies the whole feel - Just the most amazing experience Nothing !
• RobynHaage (7/5): -
• Matthew (9/5): Excellent stay set in a unique natural environment - Exceptionally good location. Not personally a huge tent fan, but you know you’re going into that ahead of time so no negative reports on that front. We did find the ceiling fan to be pretty ineffective at moving air in the tent, something more effective at that may have been nice.
• Nick (10/5): - Place was well designed Facility was good Convenient Staff was helpful
• Tom (9/5): An amazing, unique stay in Noosa - A unique stay surrounded by wildlife! A must. Also, handy for Noosa Heads which we loved. The food and drinks on site were top tier too. Also, could park right up to the tent, which was handy.
• mark (9/5): -
• Burke (9/5): -
• Ann (9/5): - Beautiful setting. Very family friendly.
• Nicole (2/5): Unfreundlich und unkulant. -
• Martijn (9/5): - De paperbark tents zijn heel netjes en van verschillende gemakken voorzien. Rond deze tenten zitten de kangoeroes zowel overdag als (soms) 's nachts, wat een geweldige ervaring is. Je eigen ontbijt nuttigen is uitdagend als je in de paperbark tenten slaapt. Heb je daar geen zin in, is het restaurant een erg goed alternatief.
• Nicola (7/5): -
• wendy (8/5): Fabulous family environment and a real bonus having the bistro where 16 of us ate. - We camped Camp kitchen very basic for such a big campground and only a tiny tiny microwave
• Pearl (8/5): -
• BeebsM (9/5): We had a great stay and have re-booked for next year. - The location was great, The kids had a ball. The glam cabins had almost everything we needed. The little fridge was great to have. It was extremely cold (middle of winter) and the bedding wasn't enough for me! Glad to have brought my own extra blanket and super warm jacket. Will bring bed socks next time.
• Olivia (7/5): - lots of roos good bar decent room hardly any cooking facilities or places to sit toilets quite far

• Arthur (10/5): Ça fais l’affaire pour un court séjour mais on vient surtout pour le cadre autour + qu’autre chose - Incroyable endroit Froid dans les habitations et peu confortable
• Ulrich (7/5): zu wenig Zeit - Es war zu kalt, Decken zu wenig
• Machans007 (6/5): GREAT LOCATION - The location was very nice. Restaurant staff all had excellent customer service 10/10! Had a lovely time until checkout where one of the saff wasn't very hospitable at reception. She was quite rude actually!
• Jayne (8/5): -
• Bruna (8/5): We really enjoyed our stay. the kids loved the ducks coming everyday to our tent. - The location was great! The shower and bathroom were excellent, maybe could have more toilets. It's really great to have a restaurant on site! Our cabin was the first one close to the bar, so it was a bit loud on the first night. Not many things to do around.
• Adel (5/5): -
• Feng-yu (10/5): -
• Katherine (10/5): Amazing, fabulous. One day I hope to be lucky enough to return to this wonderful place. - Everything! Such a fabulous place. Perfect location for exploring the Everglades, fabulous wildlife, kangaroo’s galore, kookaburra’s. Great food in the restaurant. The glamping tent we staying in was superb and very comfortable. Staff were super friendly. I did not want to leave! Literally nothing!
• Jane (9/5): Memorable, delightful and refreshing! - We loved the setting, the wildlife mingling so easily with the human visitors, and the paperbark glamping. The Restaurant was great too. We felt a little put off when we asked at reception about where to find our booked kayak tour next day with another company and weren’t given any info but just told ‘we offer our own tours here’, even though it was only just down the road (we in fact got a bit lost trying to find it, which was our fault for not reading the instructions properly, but it seemed a little strange to be given no info, even if the other company is seen as a rival - their ethos seems very similar). Other than that we had a wonderful time!
• Michael (10/5): Kängurus und Natur - Wir waren zwei Nächte in einem Paperbark Tent. Die Zelte sind gut ausgestattet und stehen sehr locker in einem Garten. Dort finden sich ganztägig Kängurus ein. Der See lädt zu Kanu/ Kajak-Touren in die Everglades ein. Am besten man plant hierfür einen ganzen Tag ein. Im Restaurant gab es gutes Abendessen und Frühstück. Bei uns (Mitte August) war es in den Zelten Nachts sehr kalt. Außentemperatur war teilweise um die 10 Grad. Da braucht man schon ein paar Decken.
• YU-JOU (8/5): - Great view ! Great experience ! It’s frozen at night
• Sophie (10/5): Awesome experience - Awesome place, so many kangaroos and birds. Would recommend booking the serenity cruise too! All great
• Rodrigue (10/5): -
• Orla (7/5): -
• Angus (8/5): Great location and perfect if you have family coming from overseas. - Beautiful location, wildlife everywhere and the cabins were super comfortable.
• Ford (8/5): A beautiful get away. Highly recommend - Loved the stunning location, friendly staff and abundance of wildlife. I had a baby with me and there were no baby changing facilities.
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emily (8/5): Very good - Very helpful staff, besuriful spot, loved the use of water equipment. Loved the bistro. Think some outdoor bbqs would improve it.
• Clynes (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were amazing so friendly and accommodated. The resort was stunning beautiful scenery. Its closeness to wildlife like the kangaroos and the amenities.
• Penny (7/5): Good - Seeing the kangaroos was amazing. Hot showers. Hiring a kajak and going on the lake was a magical experience It was extremely cold in the tent during July. The bedding was not sufficient for such cold temperatures. Was very difficult to sleep it was so cold. A big duvet would have been great. WiFi was really bad and slow. Lighting in tent was weak.
• Katrina (9/5): Superb - The location is outstanding, a fantastic experience to be surrounded by kangeroos. No lighting at night around our glamping tent, it was dangerous, there are lights there but not in use, I was informed the park rangers will not allow it in that area. If this is for the benefit of the kangeroos I understand but if I hadnt have my phone torch I wouldn't have safely made it back!!
• Aileen (7/5): Basic accommodation in nature. - Nice location in nature but would probably not choose the wilderness tent again - so cold at night. Plus the kangaroos hang out near the other tents. And if you’re going here to see the kangaroos on the lake in the morning you might be disappointed - large groups of people gathering on the beach have made them weary of coming out according to the staff. We had planned to cook for ourselves but the kitchen was not great. A lot of similar properties we visited had plates, cutlery etc to rent but they don’t here so unless you have your own you’ll need to eat in the restaurant on site.
• Pramod (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (8/5): Great stay! - Food is great and well- priced. Nature is amazing! It would be nicer if road going in is fixed/ less pot holes..
• Christina (8/5): Beautiful spot but just needs a little bit of maintenance - - The location is incredible and the Bistro, to our surprise and delight, pumps out delicious food. It's a great menu and really very delicious. - We loved how there were fire pits outside every tent, and the tents itself were really well equipped. It had everything we needed. - The Camp kitchen near the powered/ unpowered sites didn't have working hot plates/ bbq, so we couldn't cook up there. - The Camp kitchen near the Wilderness tents didn't have any more washing detergent, making it hard to wash our greasy plates. - The bunkbeds are very uncomfortable. I honestly had the worst night's sleep on them. However, the king/queen beds were comfortable. It'd be great if you could equal the comfort of the single bunkbeds to that of the king/ queen beds.
• Zoe (9/5): Superb - Amazing view of the kangaroos, and a really nice quiet and relaxing stay, loved having individual decks for the glamping pods Would be helpful to offer some sort of shuttle / taxi service from Noosa, particularly as I found the staff to be quite unhelpful when I asked for some assistance
• Fenia (4/5): Beautiful views and comfortable room but overpriced and poorly managed. - Slushies and the bar staff were great and the lake at sunrise was beautiful. The road leading to the premises is terrible, nearly cost the suspension of our rental car and we had to drive in the middle of the road to avoid hitting a pothole. We were told that access would be denied after 9pm and had issues finding our swipe card, there was no one to contact for support and wifi only worked outside reception between 6:30am-8:30pm according to the information card we later found in our room. We had to ask the reception of the campsite next door what to do in case we weren't able to get in but eventually got through the boomgate. There was no food accessible other than a vending machine with chips and soft drink and $5 cup noodles from next door's reception yet cooking was forbidden in the paperback tent, which is understandable but we were unable to access the shared kitchen facilites. We had just arrived from the airport so knowing that there is nowhere to cook/eat would have been handy since the 9pm deadline forced us to drive straight from Brisbane without stopping as we were told we would otherwise be locked out til 7am the following morning. The restaurant opening hours were viewable via QR code only and upon scanning the code, it wasn't working and access was denied. The information about amenities was only available in the room that also featured a QR code for additional info and room service but our tent number did not match the number in the code in the room and the QR wasn't working regardless. It was also unclear to us whether we could exit and re-enter after 9pm after getting the swipe card. We checked out a day early but were not asked for any feedback/whether we enjoyed our stay at the time.
• Cheng (7/5): Good -
• Gabriella (10/5): Exceptional -
• Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ann (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (9/5): Short and sweet! - Beautiful location. We stayed in one of the on-site tents, which was comfortable and well-appointed. All staff we encountered were friendly and very helpful. The mattress in our tent wasn’t terribly comfortable, but all was okay otherwise.
• Catherine (7/5): Good - Nice accommodation and lots to do The abundance of mosquitoes everywhere!
