Fodor's Review:

Limited to 50 guests, this small resort specializes in quiet enjoyment and natural attractions. Set amid the beautiful bush on the northeast corner of the island, clean, modern, elegantly appointed tree houses and functional self-contained cabins offer unspoiled sea views from private balconies. Experienced chefs cater to guests' specific requests, with a focus on modern Australian cuisine, though menu options are limited. Self-catering is an option for guests of the beach cabins; bring your own provisions or have the resort bring them over from the mainland with 24 hours' notice. Service here is responsive, but understated. Some packages include all meals. The resort is closed annually between early February and late March.

  • Hotel Details: 15 tree houses, 7 beach cabins
  • In-room: no phone, kitchen (some), refrigerator, no TV.
  • In-hotel: restaurant, bar, pool, laundry facilities, beachfront, Internet terminal, water sports.
  • Rate includes: AI (packages available)
