The Gecko Cottages were amazing and a real treat on our road trip. The spa was a nice touch too. Bit hard to walk around at night though due to no security- which made going to the onsite bar late by myself a no-go (i did ring and ask).

The upgrade to a brand new room was also appreciated. The shared kitchen is very well equipped , clean with nice crockery and has a good vibe with it being a friendly hub involving people from all around the world and of all ages gathered to prepare a variety of cuisines. The restaurant on site is also a plus. The hot tub and sauna were also a bonus. Its location is grand too. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39846254-c142-4360-a36a-800d51ffc436-1762679200335.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22a21b33-21ce-4d1d-b0cd-2dee7bcdf115-1762679193544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68f76cfb-0b87-45cb-bd43-5435436d3791-1762679214406.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/377aed81-0bc1-4045-bbd2-a6cff13642ee-1762679222174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacob Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice quiet town, Rainforest retreat cottages were very nice ##### Jacob Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola Sep 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful accommodation which was very convienient to the local shops and restaurants ##### Nicola Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandi Apr 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a wonderful stay - beautiful setting and so peaceful! ##### Sandi Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely location close to town and restaurants and great staff. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, highly recommend. ##### Darryl Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gavin Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stayed here for one night to visit the glacier.
