The tent was not cleaned prior to our checkin - dirty laundry, cigarette ash and pops left in the tent from the previous user. The complimentary breakfast was very stale store-bought muffins.

We stayed here pre pandemic and it was pretty special. They’re known for their luxury tents and I’d imagine they’re still the reason to go. That said we stayed in a cabin which according to Expedia is a rustic but nice log cabin with a private spa tub. Spoiler - there is no tub, instead it’s a leaking single shower that can’t really fit most adult humans. The room wasnt like the photos at all, no log cabin and the bed and seating area was completely different. 1 out of 5, it was trash. Dirty, things broken. I can’t believe this place is still rated as a 4 star hotel. Google needs to send their people back to remove two of those stars stat! Staff was nice and gave us a new room that was a bit better, but honestly wasn’t that great. Their was a spa tub that at least filled to the top, but the jets were broken and their was a slow leak. I don’t know if new owners came in or what, but I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you are staying in the tents, but even then I’m nervous to say that since the rest of the hotel is in disrepair.

Expected much more for this price
We went for a two-day couples-reconnecting weekend. We look for places that are luxurious for these things. This place had the high price tag (at almost $350/night) but was quite disappointing. We had a suite with a king bed. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the heating worked well. But the negatives were many... The living room is quite spacious, but had very little furniture in it, making it feel odd and like a cheap rental apartment. Plus, the couch was really a futon - not comfy at all. The bathroom had very bright neon lighting which also felt cheap. The bathtub (corner tub for two) was nice - except for the hairs in it - but the ceiling obviously had a mould problem which had been painted over, but it showed through. Plus, there were cobwebs in the corners. The road up to the resort had rusted camper vans and mobile housing on it. It felt very non-luxurious. The breakfast was just some bottles of orange juice and water, with some fresh muffins and rolls (with pads of butter and jam packets). The staff were helpful with restaurant recommendations. However, when we went to check out on Monday morning, the entire lobby was dark and locked at 8 am! It did not feel like a high class place. Had the price been $150/night I wouldn't complain. But the website pictures made it seem like a completely different place. If you are looking for a feeling of luxury, run.

The staff were excellent. The views spectacular. And once my wife got the app that told her the names of the stars and planets she was looking at, she rated this trip as everything she wanted and more. However, I wasn't as impressed. First, the unit, although well positioned, had a problem with the pilot light in the heater that was to be fixed just after we checked in. It wasn't so it was one cold night. It was the next morning when someone came to turn off the fire alarm that went on due to heat from the shower that things got back on track. And the water in the shower and the sink took a while to warm up then didn't stay with us very long. But the bed was comfy cosy and the views were spectacular. As for meals, on our first night my wife had the salmon which she declared was kind of dry. My prawns and scallops were smothered in crispy onions which overwhelmed everything else. The second night we shared the steak but despite telling our server we were sharing, the meal was brought out on one plate. I said we were expecting this to be divided in the kitchen. We were told, extremely apologetically that they didn't do that. So there we were, in a supposed fine dining restaurant hacking away at a tough steak and splitting our meal onto two plates. For breakfast, the eggs didn't seem up to the free range standard I'd expected in a 5 star resort. So at the end of the day I rated this as average to good. Again, nice people and fabulous stars but not worth $800 per.
