Black Cockatoo Lodge

The fact that it is private and secluded

Nothing.

Excellent location, right in the heart of town, so easy walk to cafe's and food options. Accommodation very cosy and rustic. Reverse cycle air con and heated towel rail were great. Hosts were very helpful with info and communication. Nice touch to have tea, coffee (instant) available with milk in the small fridge. The perfect place for a couples getaway. Well equipped with cooking utensils and crockery. Good amount of space (for the two of us). Great place to relax and be surrounded by greenery.

Wouldn't really cook on the induction cooktop and would need to bring oil or butter if using the frypan.

Bed was super comfy and warm, the gardens made it felt like you're tucked away in a little jungle.

Nothing to dislike.

We love the location and the back to nature feel of the Black Cockatoo. If only our room had a proper bed we would give this place full marks.

It has been 3 years since we last stayed in the exact same room and the bed was a problem back then. It seems nothing has changed except it is 3 years later and the bed is still a makeshift arrangement of an unsatisfactory low quality foam mattress on an old ensemble base. It is not a proper bed with a proper mattress and my back was crying out for relief after one night... 3 nights was close to unbearable.
