The place was great and truly felt like home. The decoration was thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail, with a lot of care, making it incredibly cozy and welcoming. Everything was spotless clean, super nice and warm. The only small issue was the upstairs light being on all night, which came into the room.

It’s a cute little place for a night rest. The bed and mattress need updating though. It creaked every time I moved.

The room was beautifully done up and clean. The amenities including the kitchen in the lodge was sufficient to cater the large crowd. Staff was friendly and helpful. The lakes at the national park were amazing. We enjoyed the walk around the lakes although we did not sight many birds.

Even though I believed I booked with cancellation policy. Between Expedia and On The Wallaby refused to refund my booking. This is after a major vehicle accident and my wife calling up asking for cancellation with compassion
