Delicious Dining Experience

The Possum's Table restaurant had the best Chinese meal I've ever had. I ordered the beef black bean and chicken cashew with fried rice to share, and it was excellent. They also offered a great selection of local fare. The chef was very accommodating, even cooking items not on the menu for us. It was a highlight of our stay!

Cozy Cabin Comfort

Our cabin was exceptionally comfortable and clean, featuring a nice kitchen and a cozy living room. The large wooden log fire was perfect for warming up during chilly evenings. The room came equipped with all the necessary amenities, including a fridge and microwave, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

Perfectly Relaxing Atmosphere

The lounge area by reception was a fantastic space to unwind, complete with a large log fire and an assortment of games and books for entertainment. I loved spending evenings there after our adventures, simply relaxing with my family.

We really enjoyed our time at this resort, nestled in a beautiful forest location. The cabin was spacious and clean, offering a peaceful escape. However, some areas could use a refresh, and we did face a bit of heat due to the lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms. Overall, it’s a charming spot for nature lovers, especially for spotting wildlife like platypus.
