Sauna takes a bit of work to get going and approx 1.5hrs to reach temp. Kitchen is semi equipped. No microwave. BYO condiments and spices etc required for any cooking. 3 bulls in nearby pasture, didn't see any other wildlife during our stay. Great for star gazing on a clear night. We enjoyed our 2 nights there. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f38183d9-4646-4ad3-ac51-bc5b011b37f4-1748247332621.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb4950cc-4d2d-4148-9f43-d1cb4160cfa1-1748247338352.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d928c3f-e3ba-486f-a016-86fd72d0a81a-1748247338821.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25d99396-5c82-4e9b-af68-9c6525a6ddfd-1748247338082.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### nat Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny Dec 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Danny Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Marsden Court Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Strahan-Hotels-Marsden-Court-Apartments.h7055290.Hotel-Information) > - [Maydena Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Maydena-Hotels-Maydena-Lodge.h111400449.Hotel-Information) > - [Armalong Winery Chalets](https://www.expedia.ca/Grindelwald-Hotels-Armalong-Winery-Chalets.h19286212.Hotel-Information) > - [Eastcoaster Tasmania](https://www.expedia.ca/Orford-Hotels-Eastcoaster-Resort.h6136642.Hotel-Information) > - [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > - [One North Terrace](https://www.expedia.ca/Burnie-Hotels-One-North-Terrace.h107190327.Hotel-Information) > - [Wollemi Retreat ](https://www.expedia.ca/Rylstone-Hotels-Wollemi-Retreat-Award-Winning-Eco-Retreat.h33558000.Hotel-Information) > - [Sommers Bay Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Murdunna-Hotels-Sommers-Bay-Beach-House.h26558590.Hotel-Information) > - [Moon River Retreat - Panoramic water views](https://www.expedia.ca/Gardners-Bay-Hotels-Moon-River-Retreat-Panoramic-Water-Views.h23592260.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > - [Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Pullman-Port-Douglas-Sea-Temple-Resort-And-Spa.h1772601.Hotel-Information) > - [Crayfish Creek Van & Cabin Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Crayfish-Creek-Hotels-Crayfish-Creek-Van-Cabin-Park.h9623711.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Beach House, Orford](https://www.expedia.ca/Orford-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House.h29484963.Hotel-Information) > - [Paddle Steamer Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Swan-Hill-Hotels-Paddle-Steamer-Motel.h9625042.Hotel-Information) > - [Peppermint Ridge Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-Peppermint-Ridge-Retreat.h9625852.Hotel-Information) > - [Wandering Trout](https://www.expedia.ca/Mole-Creek-Hotels-Wandering-Trout.h83935223.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandcastles 1770 Motel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Agnes-Water-Hotels-Sandcastles-1770-Motel-Resort.h8426949.Hotel-Information) > - [The Australian Hotel St George](https://www.expedia.ca/St-George-Hotels-The-Australian-Hotel-St-George.h27257162.Hotel-Information) > - [Brunswick River Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Byron-Bay-Hotels-Brunswick-River-Inn.h9627980.Hotel-Information) > - [Boulevard Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stanthorpe-Hotels-Boulevard-Motel.h7073631.Hotel-Information) > - [Platypus Park Country Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Bridport-Hotels-Platypus-Park-Country-Retreat.h9628193.Hotel-Information) > - [The Blyth Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Blyth-Hotels-The-Blyth-Hotel.h19639111.Hotel-Information) > - [Point Samson Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Point-Samson-Hotels-Point-Samson-Resort.h5088270.Hotel-Information) > - [Reflections Copeton Waters - Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Copeton-Hotels-Reflections-Holiday-Parks-Copeton-Waters.h46301944.Hotel-Information) > - [Panorama Hotel St Helens](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Helens-Hotels-Panorama-St-Helens-Nature-Resort.h1315558.Hotel-Information) > - [Bay and Basin](https://www.expedia.ca/Jervis-Bay-Hotels-Bay-And-Basin.h19287179.Hotel-Information) > - [River Vineyard Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Grindelwald-Hotels-River-Vineyard-Retreat.h33329705.Hotel-Information) > - [Bundanoon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bundanoon-Hotels-Bundanoon-Hotel.h16242477.Hotel-Information) > - [Hunter Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Pokolbin-Hotels-Hunter-Valley-Resort.h16549.Hotel-Information)
