Springbrook Canyon Cabin

Springbrook Canyon Cabin

10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Springbrook Cabin! It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after exploring the national parks, with everything we could have needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay.The cabin’s privacy was one of our favourite things, and having a fire in the evening was absolutely magical. It was so lovely to come back after a day of exploring, light the fire and completely switch off. The blackout blinds were also fantastic and meant we had an incredibly restful sleep.The pademelons and abundance of beautiful parrots right on our doorstep were such a special bonus and really added to the experience of staying in such a beautiful part of the world.The kitchen and bathroom were clean and well equipped, and Julie made the whole check-in process incredibly easy. Everything was thoughtfully set up to make the stay relaxing and enjoyable.We would absolutely recommend the Springbrook Cabin and would love to stay again"

"We visited in the winter; lovely cool weather. It’s obvious someone has a green thumb. I would love to the garden in full bloom. Even in winter the roses were fragrant and lovely. Stuart was a wonderful host, showing us the building, kitchen, our room with en suite. I love that shower!! Breakfast was laid out at 7 am for our leisure and even at 9 am (we had a bit of a lie in) was still warm and fresh. Centrally located for our travels, it was a wonderful stay!!"
