    Nothing we didnt like

    We had the best holiday at the cabin's! We both work hard and we left feeling extremely rested and relaxed we ever felt after a holiday. The wildlife was so close and it was extremely quiet. Even with the drought, we found the area was lovely especially watching the sunsets and storms roll in. The facilities were clean and tidy. The bed was soooo comfortable and all the finishing touches were a bonus ie sauna, outdoor bath and BBQ

    CABN is a very special place! We absolutely loved our two-night stay. The location is quiet and a bit remote, which we loved. There are only five or six cabins on the property, and they are very spread out, so you have a lot of privacy. The views are amazing, the wildlife plentiful, and the cabin is very well thought out with lovely touches. We made sure to come back to the cabin well before sunset after exploring the amazing island, just to make sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the cabin, the surroundings, and once the sun started getting lower on the horizon, take in the views from the deck with the many kangaroos and wallabies who came right around the cabin. We also absolutely loved having the sauna with the picture window, and used it both nights. And, the night sky is truly amazing with absolutely no light pollution. All in all, a very special and memorable stay. Highly recommended.

    Only very minor and didn’t detract from our stay: Floors a bit sandy, and a few dead insects around. Chipped bowl and pepper shaker needed refilling. We hadn’t realised a large milk was provided so brought our own.

    Scenery was amazing. Fun watching the wallabies and wildlife around. The cabin is stylish and so lovely to stay in. The delicious wine, olives and popcorn was a welcome treat. Great BBQ and cooking facilities, and having a coffee machine with the milk frother is perfect.

    Everything was great. Only 2 little details : the control panel for the sauna was in Dutch and it took us a little while to find the language set-up 😀 and the Bluetooth speaker had no battery so we couldn't use it in the sauna.

    The cabin was located in such a beautiful area with the most amazing views. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset with kangaroos around us. The cabin was well equipped and had everything we needed and more! It's a perfect place to relax and have some quality time.

    Struggled to get A/C to work but fortunately the fan was really good

    Unique peaceful rural location with sea views and wild nature on your doorstep. Watching the kangaroos come out in the evening right by the cabin was unforgettable. The cabin itself was fitted out to a high quality with comfy bed, really nice bathroom and well fitted kitchen. The sauna room was amazing with full windows allowing you to watch the nature whilst outside Bath was the ultimate finish to the day

    Too far away from all the main attractions. It is in a very remote location and getting around to other parts of the island took a lot of driving. The cabn is not big so don’t overpack!
