basic plumbing no wifi
the restaurant had really good food i will admit that it met my expectations for edible food.
the shower barely functioned i struggled to get wet let alone clean i suspect someone forgot basic plumbing when constructing the bathroom no wifi existed not even a paid option i was like i was transported back to the stone age plus there was no tv i guess they really wanted me to embrace nature maybe a little too much

Rainforest Immersion with Beach Access

special location reasonable price working air conditioning free parking
The location is special. I found myself surrounded by the rainforest, but also very close to the beach. The restaurant had excellent food, its price was quite reasonable for Australia. The air conditioning in my cabin worked well. Free parking existed.
The shower had low pressure, a slight inconvenience.

The well-kept pool is located near the restaurant. I saw bush turkeys and scrub hens wandering around the hotel. Guests can find complete immersion into the rainforest setting.

helpful receptionist beach proximity
the receptionist offered helpful recommendations! i especially enjoyed the night walk suggestion, it was thoroughly enjoyable. i was lucky to see two cassowaries just outside. i appreciated the proximity to the beach.
The shower pressure was inadequate. It barely produced a dribble! also, wifi facilities should be available.

canned sauce dusty corners
The restaurant food certainly needed improvement. i ordered a pasta dish, and the sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. the dining area wasn't particularly appealing either, i saw cobwebs and dust in several corners. it gave the impression that cleanliness wasn't a top priority. Though the location was great!
