坦恩伽華麗生態旅舍

The eco lodge is still a very nice spot, but time has probably moved on a little and the accolades once awarded have perhaps ‘faded’ a little now so aren’t as relevant to what is currently considered a ‘luxury’ offering in the true sense. The $500 price ticket is probably about right but other than the view there aren’t standout aspects that make you feel it’s a ‘cut above’. If you want seclusion it’s absolutely perfect and it’s very warm and cosy whilst still spacious. But for what is essentially a ‘house’ it was a bit weird having no table and chairs. There were red wine glasses but only a single white wine glass! The confirmation says a bottle of wine is included. There wasn’t any. We’d never rely on that anyway and did bring our own, but if you had expected it to be there you’d be annoyed at being far out of town for your getaway or celebration without what was confirmed as an inclusion. There are no power points for phone chargers near your bed. There are no steak knives. Yet there is a lovely brand new bbq. That was great! The compendium of information is quite out of date. Having the loo IN the bathroom is a pain - can’t really understand that design when it’s such a large bathroom space. The concept behind a deep Japanese bath is fabulous but the reality is that it is NOT for two people as stated - it’s not comfortable for two and we are not two large people!!

It is a spectacular setting, the bird life is tremendous, thanks to the efforts the owners have made in regenerating the Native Bush. The Ridge Top lodge has 360degree views so Sunrises and Sunsets are on. Well equipped and comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay. It is quite a drive from the main highway, but pretty well signposted
