Excellent location, just across the street from the glowworm attraction. Restaurants and shops are nearby, making dining very convenient. The room was clean and well maintained, and the kitchen was well equipped. The staff also gave us helpful restaurant recommendations, which made our evening very enjoyable.
Arrived after office hours and was easily able to pick up room key with map to room. The property was quant and cute. Loved the animals and the buildings all looked very nice. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Walking path to the beach was easily accessible.
We had a great stay. The animals (alpacas and goats were fun), the glow worm fell was amazing (we liked it and we have previously been on a glow worm cave tour). The beach access was great. Room was clean and private.
Not directly on beach as there is a privately owned grassy paddock between the units and the beach, but great beach access. Views are very good. Relaxed atmosphere in quiet natural surroundings. Woke up to birds and waves. Recommended.
The lady at reception, Kym? Gave us a great welcome and we particularly appreciated that when she noticed my wife's walking disabilities, changed the booking so that we had a chalet with a ramp for easy access.
In spite of the wet and windy weather, we were snug in a very nicely appointed room.
Chalet style with wooden parts of walls
Animals in the facility alpacas goats and horses

$223 a night for a small room by the road. Old shower with mould. Room service - none - they just changed the towels. Didn’t make the bed or wash a dish in the sink. Pillows really big and so firm, office closed so we had to sleep on folded towels. No fan or aircon - just unscreened open windows that let the bugs in = lots of bites. No microwave, only an old cook top. Good location near glow worms and beach. But no way is it worth that cost or the 4.5 stars or 9/10 stated. That room was 3 stars. We can’t recommend this place at all.
We stayed here for one night, beautiful little place. Desk staff was very friendly allowing us to check in early, easy parking right in front of the cabin. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Complimentary tea and coffee in the room. Staff at the desk helped us find an “off the beaten path” glow worm dell which was so kind of them. Few minutes walk to the beach!
