Wilderness Cabin 2

Stayed in cabin 2. Cosy with wooden oven. Beautiful views. Plenty of wallabies, kangaroos, all sorts of parrots and kookaburras. George was very helpful and responsive. We arrived after hours and George left a very helpful written message at reception, knowing we couldn't contact him as there was no phone reception for a number of hours on the road (through the national park). Would love to stay again. Thank you George!

Wilderness Cabin 1

10/10

This was a lovely place to stay, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for some time away. Caro was lovely and helpful if I needed anything, the space was so relaxing and clean with great access to nature. I was able to really connect with the environment but not sacrifice any comfort! Don't think twice about booking a cabin.

Wilderness Cabin 2

Quiet Relaxing Cabin

I had a very quiet and relaxing time in Cabin 2. It has beautiful views from the balcony. The bed, linen, pillow, and towels were provided. Nice fireplace with plenty of dry firewood. There is a central bathroom/toilet block a couple hundred metres away, with a hot water shower. There is a small kitchen with a sink, a kettle and a gas stove, which is very convenient. For large meal preparation, there is a fully equipped central kitchen. A great place to do some meditation, yoga and walks.

SIBA Camp #1

We had a really nice and cozy long weekend in the retreat at a tent site and we loved it. George was so friendly and went beyond with finding a best spot for us. Definitely coming back again.
