I stayed in one of the private “go rooms”, which was like a private room made from a trailer on wheels. It was surprisingly cozy! I liked how there were sufficient share facilities and a large kitchen/dining area. The place was centrally located in town, making it easy to walk down to the park to go look for platypus. I’d recommend it. ##### Jaelen Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHRIS Nov 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Love it here!
