    A wonderful retreat! This place is special, with the rain forest literally outside your door. Very romantic and idyllic setting. Thoughtful extras, including extra towels, sunscreen and bug spray. Great outdoor kitchen set up, with seating area. I wish we could have stayed longer.

    We stayed in a little cabin which was really cosy! We had really good air conditioning, a tv and fridge and towels. We had Shared toilets, showers and a small kitchen facility- was really clean and lovely for a couple of days holiday! We didn’t use the pool but looked cleaned. We used the washing machines which were great

    This felt like a lovely cottage in the middle of the tropics instead of a backpackers. It is also located just across the road from the major shopping centre and not far from the esplanade. Very clean and had everything you would need.

    The house itself is a pleasant heritage building with lovely balconies overlooking the pool area as well as the back. It is located outside the city, in a village which is very charming about 8 km from town. It sit on the main thoroughfare but about 10 min walk down the street we found the heart of Stratford, with few stores, a lovely food market and a couple of cafes.

    Immaculately kept, cozy cabins facing a rainforest reserve. All amenities provided in room, includingair con, very necessary during the wet season. Pool is deep, and water refreshingly cool as a consequence (in spite of the heat wave). The area is 15 mins drive or so from the centre and the airport, and easy to find.
