Adequate Cabin Stay

large cabinsecluded surroundingelectric firebasic fittingpoor foodexcessive price
I had a large cabin. It felt secluded because of the surrounding bush and wildlife. Self-contained facilities were nice. The electric fire provided good warmth.
The cabin fittings seemed quite basic. This did not match the high price. The restaurant food quality was very poor. The prices were also excessive.

Excellent Cabin Near Visitor Centre

spacious cabinclean spaceshort walkearly closing
The cabin was spacious. It was also clean. I found it well appointed with everything I needed. Wallabies visited the cabin each day. The Visitor Centre was just a short walk away, so I could easily catch the shuttle bus.
The takeaway at the restaurant closed too early. It closed at 7:30 AM. This made it difficult to get a quick breakfast before heading out for the day.
