Songbirds

Great little places

We stayed one night which wasnt enough, beautiful quiet cabin in the bush, had a log fire glowing and hot tub on the veranda, lots of great restaurants nearby as well, we'd recommend Hickory. Everything neat and tidy and beautifully appointed.

Stunning location, great atmosphere and top service offers an excellent break

Reviewed By maryjZ973BD

Really loved the vibe of the place and everything on offer. Plenty of space to feel away from the crowds but a great fun atmosphere coming together in the bar and dining room. Beautiful surroundings - and even for non walkers the trails are really enjoyable. Villa had stunning views and was very comfy - but perhaps a microwave might have been helpful. Staff were lovely and quick to offer help and advice.

Being staying for over 10 years BUT NEVER AGAIN

Reviewed By chrisrhea007

Avocado Sunset USED to be our favourite place to stay. But although still nice, it has gone down hill, with the new owners Jilly and Mel - not the luxurious place it was. As we have stayed so many times (10 over the last decade) we thought we would write directly to the owners with some feedback eg Cold both in temperature and atmosphere plus breakfast was not very good and lots of other small comments. But to our surprise, basically they called us liars, as they must have been offended. So needless to stay we will not be recommending it to anyone or staying again.

Bit ordinary really

Reviewed By 2016GJ

Checked in for luxury Sky apartment. Receptionist pleasant, gave me key and showed me a map to get to our room. A bit like checking into a camping ground type of thing. That was it nothing more. I didn’t really think about it till later but no mention of walks, maps, things to do, dining options, what I would find or need at apartment on arriving, tips or anything , nothing mentioned at all Later discovered no wifi, no mini bar , that’s ok but mention at check in might have been good. Sadly bed quality very average, no spare pillows just 4 small ones on king bed, most places have spares so you can find your preference, interior of apartment very dark, lots of gloomy black tiles, heavy dark woods, felt like a refurbishment would be good Lovely big patio but quite dirty, full of leaves etc and Previous guests dirty serviette still on patio floor so obviously not cleaned Overall quite average stay, definitely not a luxury stay by any means , View lovely though

Rainforest Delight

Reviewed By TrippyBee20

Arrived in thre dark in the rain, so was a tad hard to find. Delightful surroundings, and birdsong in the morning. Noisy, nosey and frequently smoking neighbors prevented us from sitting outside, but we slept like logs and went exploring in the morning. Loved the little personal touches like chocs on the towels & all the info supplied. There was also bats in the garden.

Is it really wagyu beef that's served?

Reviewed By Wander68392238156

We read the online reviews about the place and the quality of food and wine served at the restaurant and went with a positive vibe anticipating a fantastic lunch. Hence, each of us ordered a 2 course lunch with the wagyu steak for main... Lo and behold, not sure if that's really wagyu beef the restaurant had served. Minimal marbling and honestly tasted like a piece of normal steak which I usually cook at home. Wagyu beef is not uncommon for us and what was served, if its really wagyu in its true definition, did not make the cut at all.

Good nights sleep

Reviewed By Walkaboutchick

Stayed 4 nights. Very high standard of cleanliness and presentation. I’ve worked housekeeping for 4&5 star hotels and resorts and I honestly couldn’t fault this apart from the waste of water waiting for the shower to heat up being number 19 the hot water takes forever, such a waste going down the drain in a area known for drought. Other than that a nice stay and reasonably quite at night with very good pillows. Staff friendly and very helpful. Could do with a Do not disturb sign and vacate time.
