What a gem! We had a lovely stay here at this delightful and very well appointed ‘bush hut’. Great host, wonderful setting, surrounded by a-mazing native bush. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thanks for having us, we will be back. :)

Fabulous Location.......
recommend some form of lighting especially if you turn up once its dark as you wouldnt know where to go!! They do have a tourch to use once you arrive at the cabin but still not really ideal if you go out at night.
Bath tub amazing ... hot tub amazing but kind of a add on... when we were relaxing could hear dog running up near the tub after its owner threw the ball and then could hear lots of talking from people at this property...., not very private nor relaxing whilst this is going on....description that its a 4/ 5 min walk also needs to be added.
Bathroom was really stinky and kitchen sink needs a good scrub but was overall clean in towels and bedding.
Mark and Sue great host when we messaged them about us coming in earlier they messaged an hour before check in to say it was ready accomadating this request, having no hot water first thing on Saturday morning we messaged Mark and he changed over the bottle within minutes but might want to check bottle before people arrive because no hot water to wake up to again isnt ideal however Mark was awesome and cut wood for us as hubby has hurt his hand.
Overall experience at Bush hut was awesome not worth the price per night though.
