"We loved our stay at Sanctuary Lakes Fauna Retreat. The gorgeous little cabin is set in a peaceful lakeside setting surrounded by wildlife, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The cabin was spick and span and fully self-contained, with a lovely deck overlooking the lakes. There were plenty of blankets to keep us cosy on the cold winter nights, although the air conditioning kept the cabin perfectly comfortable. Tea and coffee were provided, along with complimentary milk, and the full-size fridge and microwave made it easy to bring our own meals for a longer stay.
If I had just one suggestion for improvement, it would be the shower. The water was beautifully hot, but the shower rose seemed to have a split personality. One jet had enough pressure to cut steel, while the others felt like I'd turned up to the O.K. Corral armed with a water pistol! I kept trying to look up to see if the shower head needed turning to a different spray setting, but judging the angle while being pelted from all directions proved a challenge, so I eventually surrendered.
The check-out process was a little tricky with no instructions on whether to leave the keys in the room or at reception (which was closed with no drop box). Eventually I texted for instructions and all was easily sorted!
A wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return."
"The receptionist was a delight to speak to on arrival, the restaurant was part of the complex and served delicious meals. Staff were extremely cheerful, the complex clean and well provided."
"It is a simple setup with a good resting area just in front of the commom toilets and bathrooms.
I woud suggest everyone to stay here if you are planning to have go or see places nearby.
Congrats to the staffs and the owner in maintaining such peculiar places."
"Very clean room and comfortable bed.
Close to everything needed
While it was very noisy I appreciate it was school holidays at the time…
Would definitely stay again"
"Was better than many reviews had suggested. Feared we would be kept awake from noise from upstairs room etc but that wasn’t the case, be prepared though for an early wake up call from what sounded like a million birds all waking at the same time and a few possums (or similar).
Overall it was a good stay, nice and close to the city, good camp kitchen if you don’t want to cook in your room. Could be a bit cleaner and was a bit surprised by the notice saying I would be charged $50 if I didn’t take my rubbish out, I didn’t mind doing this but thought surely the cleaner came empty a small rubbish bin when cleaning."
