Plenty of choice for continental breakfast with a big choice of cereals available, together with fruit and yoghurt. Fresh bread was supplied for toasting, with honey, jams and Vegemite spreads

    This felt like a lovely cottage in the middle of the tropics instead of a backpackers. It is also located just across the road from the major shopping centre and not far from the esplanade. Very clean and had everything you would need.

    The house itself is a pleasant heritage building with lovely balconies overlooking the pool area as well as the back. It is located outside the city, in a village which is very charming about 8 km from town. It sit on the main thoroughfare but about 10 min walk down the street we found the heart of Stratford, with few stores, a lovely food market and a couple of cafes.

    Immaculately kept, cozy cabins facing a rainforest reserve. All amenities provided in room, includingair con, very necessary during the wet season. Pool is deep, and water refreshingly cool as a consequence (in spite of the heat wave). The area is 15 mins drive or so from the centre and the airport, and easy to find.

    Room is very cosy and clean, nice balcony and lots of natural lighting. Generous spaces to put our stuffs (tables, cabinets and shelves) and yet they are well placed and the room still looks spacious. Location is good and lots of parking space just outside the hotel. Overall we are very satisfied with our stay.

    The cabin is lovely, amazing views on the rainforest, cute spa bath next to the bed that we loved! It is a very quiet and relaxing place, perfect for a romantic getaway. Absolutely loved the hosts - so nice, warm and welcoming :) Really enjoyed the breakfast and outdoor kitchen next to the pool too!
