I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location offered a peaceful ambiance for my dogs to roam and enjoy, I found the rooms a bit dated and not as cozy as I had hoped. The service was outstanding, with the staff going out of their way to assist with my needs. Dining was decent but not quite top-notch compared to what I expected for the price. Overall, it was a fair value, though not ideal in some areas.

I had a nice time at the resort, which offered a peaceful setting, perfect for letting my dogs roam around. The facilities were pretty decent, especially the pool area, but the rooms could use some updates. I appreciated the friendly service, but the dining options were quite limited. Overall, it was a good value for money, but a few improvements would make it even better.

The resort is set in a peaceful area, allowing my dogs to roam freely while I relaxed. The service was fantastic, especially when getting me to the barge crossing for Fraser Island. However, I found the room's cleanliness below standard, and the price felt a bit steep for what I received. Overall, the stay had its charms, but there were certainly areas for improvement.

I found the hotel to be quite peaceful, especially since it was school holidays. It provided a great space for my dogs to play without worrying about their safety. However, the rooms felt old and darker than expected, which was a letdown given the price. The service was outstanding, as the staff went above and beyond to help with airport transfers and other arrangements.
