On site bar

This is a very big complex with a motel and backpackers as well. It's about 1km from the town and there's a small stream going thru it. Everyting is very well organised and looking very clean.

Unique Quality: Licenced restaurant, hot bubbly spa, kitchen, internet, hot wash laundry, bbq and playground.

  • Opinion of Price: less expensive than average

Close to nature

Reasonable comfortable and variety of types of accomodation, including backpacking and place for campervans. Although the room was small, it had ensuite toilet/shower, a small fridge and a TV (limited coverage of free to air, but you can pay for paid TV channels). Washroom, common room with movies in evening. Service was very good and there is a bar & restaurant on site.

Unique Quality: Very close to centre of town (well, everything is walkable distance) and right in the middle of rainforest.
