Rivendell Nature Refuge

Pool and beach facilities were great- sailing and kayaking lots of fun. The room was small but clean. The outdoor corridors to the accomodation looked tired and need a refresh. Bathrooms need a refit.

Lovely retreat with thoughtfulness written all over! Bed was comfortable. The little pantry was handy. Breakfast was beautiful. Pool with hot tub was a nice touch. Most importantly staff was five-star quality!

First up we were told after we paid that a $200 holding fee would be held for 28 days, if we had paid cash we could have got that back on check out. For the price I was shocked that the expectation was we had to wash up, although no sink just a bucket you could fill up in the shower to wash your dishes. We decided against that as we discovered an ant trail in the food prep shelf thing. There was also mould in the shower and the aircon was held together with duct tape. Upside location was central.
