"Lovely treehouse in the forest. No WiFi in cabins can go short walk to reception to use. Our tv didn’t work but that no real hassle. Would have liked a compendium for brief explanation of how things work. Was a great experience to sit and feed the birds and we saw cassowaries. Karen ( relief managers ) was lovely and very helpful"
