    Air conditioning is coming.

    In amongst the rainforest, the rooms are clean and beds comfy. The highlights are the pool, gardens, and couple who run the place. You have access to a kitchen and washing machine with detergent provided. Breakfast is on the high veranda overlooking the beautiful gardens znd is all homemade, bread, jams etc. The wildlife is extraordinary, a fabulous experience.

    Beautiful property with amazing garden and resident cassowary named Charlie who you'll likely see in the mornings. Breakfast was outstanding and filling. Hosts are lovely and interesting people who we chatted with over breakfast. Room was spacious and had plenty of shelving for your belongings. Bathroom was big and provided all the toiletries you need. There is a pretty pool but we didn't use it. Property was super clean and well kept, and hosts are onsite if you need anything. Super quiet location just slightly out of town. 3 minute drive to restaurants and beach. We loved it!

    Fantastic setting for a B&B. Great room. Superb homemade breakfast ( cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, homemade bread and homemade marmalade, orange juice and coffee). Cassowary's coming into the garden area ( we saw them 6 times during our 1 night's stay). The hosts (Blair and Dawn) were superb informing us where to go and what to see. Balcony outside room to view the wildlife.

    Nothing in particular. Just note that for most restaurants a car is convenient. We walked to mission but this is quite a walk.

    Informative hosts, jungle location with gorgeous garden, possibility to see cassowaries, great pool and the extra help provided in pickup/ renting bikes etc. Took us 3 days to see a cassowary but we were saved by the bell 30 minutes before we left;) Truly magnificent animals!
