We stayed in the accomodation it was 5 star, so clean absolutely beautiful. Staff were amazing friendly and helpful. The kids had a great time. I saw some bad reviews but these people need to understand this is a country retreat not a 6 star hotel. The room/tent we received was 5 star definitely. The food is good it’s not chef amazing but $80 for 4 of us for dinner at the buffet is I think very cheap. Thank you would definitely stay again, private, peaceful and not overcrowded. We stayed January 2024

What a beautiful way to spend a relaxing day with great menu for cocktails to pizza. The wonderfully friendly staff make you feel like you're on vacation even though I just came from Brisbane. Be nice if there was an adults only area but it was school holidays so only fair the little people get to have fun

Our obliging and attentive waiter saved the day. The menu, ambience and value were all disappointing compared with other sanctuary cove eateries. Easy parking, vegan offerings for our diverse family and table availability have brought us here several times, I just wish it was a better experience. I think they can do way better than this.
