Pros: - Very convenient location, within a 20-30 minute walk to the city centre and close to the airport. A great base for activities. - Staff were friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Cons: - The men’s amenities were in extremely poor condition. Toilets and walls were heavily soiled, and there was pubic hair in the showers for several days. Overall cleanliness was far below the standar...

Absolutely loved our short stay. The lodge was great and just what we needed for one night. The views were amazing and waking up to the sounds of nature were very Peacful. A great way to start our holiday

Overall it was an ...

Located pretty nicely in the city, short drive to beach and the CBD. Kitchen is nice enough, Showers leave a little to desire but are okay. Pool is good. They have like a TV room for kids i think. Have washing machines coin operated. My big issue with the place is the Bats very very noisy in the morning, but that's not really the parks fault. Bats will bat.
Dry season (May–Oct) is cooler and less humid. In wet season (Nov–Apr) pack stroller rain covers and plan indoor breaks.
