Q: You are in the Australian bush, is it dangerous?

A: Like any natural area in any part of the world there are always dangers. For our international guests, the media is often focused on sensational news and unfortunately it often only presents the dangers of Australian wildlife, such as snakes, spiders and dingoes. They are a natural part of the Australian environment and rarely seen.

On arrival we will discuss the local forests and native wildlife and any potential dangers. Rest assured, your stay is bound to be a safe one. We have no crocodiles in this part of the sub-tropics, but plenty of native kangaroos and beautiful native birds. At night, you may even see native possums in the trees and bandicoots digging for food in the surrounding grounds. In summer, a good natural insect repellent is recommended, however we have very few mosquitoes.

What to bring

Q: What clothing should I bring?

A: We recommend you bring tracksuits (for the colder months), swim wear and towel, casual wear plus suitable clothing and two pairs of joggers for outdoor activities. Also bring something nice to wear for outings. Full washing facilities are available on site.

Q: In winter, how cold does it get?

A: Between June and August night-time temperatures can be as low as 5 degrees Celsius, so please bring some warm clothing. Day-time winter temperatures are usually a very comfortable 20 – 25 degrees Celsius.

Q: How hot does it get and are your rooms air conditioned?

A: Summer temperatures are usually from 28 – 32 degrees Celsius of a day and between 20 – 25 of a night. Our rooms are fan cooled with plenty of natural ventilation from the shaded surrounding forests. Definitely bring your swim clothing so you can cool off in our pool.
