Location was excellent and very close to major attractions. Quite spacious for a couple. Outdoor facilities. Kangaroos out the kitchen window.

The slab hut was very cosy with a very comfortable bed and clean shower.

The east facing kitchen window needs a blind or curtin to block out the morning sun if you want to sleep after sunrise.
