Rainforest Retreat
4.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (951)
"Beautiful place to stay. The Gecko Cottages were amazing and a real treat on our road trip. The spa was a nice touch too. Bit hard to walk around at night though due to no security- which made going to the onsite bar late by myself a no-go (i did ring and ask). I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
