We stayed in building that looked like a house. It was clean, a little dated with some of the facilities, but it absolutely did us and what we needed. The views were stunning and it was very quiet.

The place was overall great quality and as advertised. We had access to good shower/toilet bathrooms next door. The only problems were the stove top only worked at full temp so we had to use the communal kitchen, and the tree scraping on the side of the building (cabin 7) kept us awake all 3 nights - the storm was on night 3 so we left incredibly tired. The boys loved the pool and doing manu's with the local lads.

Had a kitchenette cabin, was nearly put off booking by needing to bring bedding, however once we arrived the pools were amazing which outweighed all else. Also paid extra for our family to use the private pool, such a great space. Will be back with golf clubs and walking shoes for the waterfall track is open. Loved it all, but will be upgrading to a motel unit in the hope the double bed is better as we had some serious roll together 😆
