    We would have liked a much smoother check in process and an email before we arrived stating we needed to bring everything- linen, pillows, cookware, cutlery, bowls etc, matches, sponge, tea- towel, bath mat, towels- Everything!! I’ve stayed in similar places and loved it, but there’s been more communication about what to bring and often some of the above is supplied.

    Beautiful Location, loved the hot shower and comfy bed and gas stove and candles and friendly staff

    Great location, rustic cabin, with plenty of firewood

    The Sink tap barely reaches the sink, it works, but is less functional. Some insulation would improve the cabin, and maybe a few more places to hang clothes/wet items, but these are suggested improvements to make the place better, I'd stay there again.

    great location, cabin has a lovely rustic feel and there's plenty of firewood and the people who run the cabin were really proactive and helpful.

    Could be a bit cleaner (was dusty) cabin is very basic but it suited us well, was like camping with a bit of comfort. The hot water didn’t heat up at all so we didn’t use the shower (was way too cold).

    The location, and the surrounds were perfect. The inside fireplace is great and so was the outdoor firepit, though we didn’t use it. Was really nice to feel well and truly immersed in the natural environment.

    When I went there had been heavy rains (and extensive flooding in NSW generally) and the driveway required high clearance 4wd to traverse the boggy ground. The back stairs were slippery due to the rain.

    This is a comfortable fishing shack beside a trout stream and in the vicinity of some extraordinarily beautiful national parks. You get access to maybe 100m of the stream. The online blurb and the contact person made it clear that you should regard your stay here like a camping trip, as it has no electricity so you need to bring your own lighting, esky, cooking/eating hardware, sleeping bag or bed linen. However it has simple but comfortable beds for 10, a twin gas burner for cooking, hot water and hot shower. It has flushing toilets outside. The house was clean inside and the wood burning heater kept it snug inside when it was cold and raining outside. The firewood is provided cut into handy sizes, but you need your own axe to split it

    As it was raining there was a slippery bank access to the cabin. The bathroom floor was also very slippery when wet. The mattress protectors need to be binned.

    The rustic charm . The wood stove. The Styx river , fishing , wildlife, waterfalls and the old hydro power station in the gorge. The peace, quietness and remoteness. The hot shower.

    Missing description for accom when booking. Should include the following: 1. Site not accessible with 2wd after heavy rain and water constantly leaking from broken pipe (pipe broken at time of stay). 2. No electricity 3. Need to bring own linen, sleeping bag etc. 4. Cabin is for 'glamping'

    Close to dorrigo national park entry, approx 40min walk or 10min drive. Good communication from staff - they call you a couple of days beforehand and let you know the check in process. Cabin has hot water.

    We did not stay at the accommodation Little Styx Cabin “The Possum” and request an immediate refund. After the free cancellation period I received an SMS from the owner “ Hi Benn. Your key box code for Possum cabin is ++++. There is a hot water shower and gas cook top. Please bring all linen and cookware. You will need an axe to split firewood. There is no electricity. Please take all rubbish with you. Plus the address.” There was no mention that there was no refrigeration and that the toilet facilities were up the slope thru the tall grass. None of this information appeared on the booking.com site. This was misleading and deceptive conduct. The accommodation was blatantly inadequate. When we arrived in the pouring rain, water was pouring around the cabin, a sign indicated that fire wood was not to be chopped on the concrete outside the hut but there was no other under cover site to do so. The bunks were very poor. We left immediately and had to find accommodation in Armidale as the Ebor Motel was fully booked. I request a full refund forthwith and the honesty of the advertising be revisited.

    The location was lovely and possibly some reasonable trout fishing but far to wet to experience either.

    Misleading information

    Booking information is misleading. Did not warn us of no electricity and very basic facilities. I only learnt about this by chance when I phoned the manager to enquire about a fridge and cooking facilities. It was only then I was told the cabin was super basic, without electricity and we should take an axe to chop wood for the fire. Moreover, the address given for Little Styx Cabins is incorrect. This is compounded by the fact there's no Internet or phone service to call the Manager for directions once you're in the area. The booking information should clearly differentiate between the Moffat Cottages, the Moffat Lodge and "Little Styx River Cabins". 660 Point Lookout Rd is the address for the Lodge, which is nowhere near the Cabins, on Forest Road.

    Handy to great National Parks. Great walking treks nearby.
