Book Caveside hotels

This was a very disappointing stay and I would not book again. (1) Although an address was provided, there is no GPS reception in the area and there is no clear property number visible at street level of the tin shack compound. If I had arrived in the dark, I would not have been able to find it. (2) The wood-fired heater is the only heating, and guests are not permitted to use an electric blanket, electric heater, or hair dryer. (3) There are no instructions for using the wood-fired heater safely and effectively. (4) The living area needs to be very warm for heat to reach the main bedroom, and once the fire burns down overnight the property becomes cold again. Even on a mild night (around 10C) it was uncomfortable. (5) The toilet water pump is extremely loud and would likely wake others at night. (6) The cleaning expectations were excessive: guests are asked to not only wash dishes, but also dry and put away dishes, with a warning of extra charges beyond the 100 cleaning fee if the place is not left “tidy”. (6) Yet, there were crumbs under the dining table and egg remnants on a plate in the cupboard. (7) The listing photos show the only nice bits of what is otherwise an old tin and fibro shack, surrounded by more old tin shacks. At roughly 300 a night, including the cleaning fee, it is abysmally overpriced for what is provided. I would not recommend this property, especially for anyone staying in cooler weather or arriving after dark.

Staff were lovely and helpful. The cabin had a really nice "homey" feel and we appreciated the books, dvds, card games, etc. that were available. Beautiful views and we could say hello to the donkeys every morning. Would come back again.

Ashtray outside room wasn't emptied. Verandah had not been swept. Needs block out blinds in lounge room.

Lovely, quiet space. Well equipped cabin with a comfortable bed.

The room was ok but noisy. Not sure there is anything you can do about it but it does detract from staying there. Absolutely loved the communal guest dining room and lounge upstairs - was great for meeting other guests.

Fantastic location, beautiful surroundings, quiet, peaceful.
