6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Cabin was well set up in a forest location. Surrounded by bush, but close to main house. Bed was comfortable and shower nice and hot. Fireplace was a great feature. Basic kitchenette with balcony BBQ. The road to get to the property is at least 9km of dirt bush track. Not suitable for a regular car. With heacy rain the road became flooded in many places, making it dangerous. Despite the remote location, there was an outside light,and an indoor flashing light, that kept me awake. A sensor light would work better. The owners dog would circle the cabin at night, and also very early 5am in the morning. It was a german shepherd looking dog, that disturbed me, and my small dog. Waking everyone up. The ad for the property listed a "swimming pool". This was more like a small dipping pool for small children. Only just bigger than a spa, but located in a metal shed. I had no internet, the entire stay. I tried to use the wifi and telstra, without any luck. The television only had limited channels. Disappointing when wifi was liated as a feature. Maybe the cabin should be marketed as a back to basics in mother nature.
