Thank you. To be clear the camp kitchen has a washing machine & dryer (for wet season use). We request $5/machine/use all donated to guide dogs Australia. Via honesty tin system. The domestic washing machine is on back order. We also ask that 10c recycling bottles & cans are collected for Variety Charity for children.

Wow, fabulous feedback. Genuinely we do request & welcome it, but please let us know during your stay, not ramble in a one sided diatribe. Hail the era of the keyboard warriors. Seriously we are sorry that the ‘guest’ dogs have alarmed you. They’re long time family members that have no history of anything more than wanting attention & treats. However we have two Old dogs that are more placid still & used to actual guests, maybe we have misjudged this, think though. If you don’t like the bush, life on a rural property, other people, help, talking, sunlight, walking, sharing & being normal. Book a hotel room & keep to yourself. This wordy reply isn’t an affirmation of the waffle comment, trying to address all the issues, real or unrealistic as they may be. Let’s dive straight in. Extended orientation, which both guests belly laughing at times, were offered the option of the story, which they requested. The story explains the journey from Sydney to Katherine via Wigan. The idea is to welcome you into our home. It was protracted as there are others on the property, we had a couple of maintenance issues to resolve, two facilities were out of action awaiting parts, more than usual, so not just max 4 guests & Andrea & I. Extra family is here for three weeks. One family has elderly dogs which are both deaf & nearly blind, dogs are in unfamiliar territory, with, to the dogs at least, strangers. This a possibly an oversight on our part. Only this guest has brought it to our attention. No problem reported & guest mentioned above is still here & gave a bewildered no idea what this guest is on about. We do have a smoking area, which is clearly defined & stayed in. Here’s an idea don’t sit next to smoking area if you don’t like smoking & smokers. The property is 33 acres, smoking area is four chairs & a table. We will relocate this as of today to be downwind of prevailing winds. Smokers although they are a dying breed, must be accommodated & in general are encouraged away from communal areas. We have ample crockery, in the camp kitchen, this in boxes because we’re in the bush & cleanliness is paramount. Read other reviews regarding welcome & orientation, usually staff score 10, this is indicative of our family & is our home. Regarding bed size, shipping containers are one width, oddly truck width. We have placed a queen bed, not to dwarf room, the bed has a minimalist frame, but does maximise the available sleeping area.we feel that a double two small for two adults & the container is the width it is. When a bed is on a property with 6 acres of manicured gardens in 33 acre property & adjacent to a national park, guests usually focus of cleanliness, hosts, comfort & price of the room. Sorry this equation hasn’t worked this time. The norm is we have two old dogs a Labrador 14 & a chihuahua 12. These dogs love a pat & most guests treat them from their plates. Regarding Wi-Fi, starlink has broken, they took two weeks to reply to their messaging service. New equipment is ordered. We currently have an iPad as a hotspot which is working fine whilst in the communal areas. Starlink only offers 30m radius & that’s space technology. This was explained in oration too. Jobbing noise is inevitable, we try to work when guests are out, but works continue, things break. Everything on a rural blocked is powered, so no power, no anything. We carry out preventative maintenance but still get caught out. We do not live & die by reviews but we ask that “if you love it tell everyone, if you don’t tell us how to improve.” Apologies that everything in the best value, most secure, highest rated, out of town stay in the NT, wasn’t the CBD Hilton you didn’t book.

Sorry to hear your stay wasn’t perfect, thank you for the score of 9 though. Unsure about the smell, maybe from mopping & you just dislike the disinfectant/cleaning products, as you say your friend didn’t mind. Regarding bed, first ever comment about comfort. Will investigate further & upgrade/replace as required. Too low, no comment. Thank you for the valuable feedback. We’re aiming for 10/10, love the advice.
