We stayed there for the last two nights of our honeymoon and really enjoyed it! I also messed up the booking and got the dates confused and they were flexible and supported shuffling our booking along 24 hours - on a weekend - for no charge!! Such a relief!!! The food was high quality, the fireplace cosy and I LOVED the outdoor bath tubs. The staff were friendly too, and had loads of local recommendations that were spot on :)
Agree with the fact it is overpriced for the experience. Service was top notch but for $800+ a night for the luxury tent, it would’ve been nice if they comp’d the massages or a spa experience. The downstairs area underneath the restaurant is a nice place to relax in theory but as it wasn’t enclosed, the furniture and hammocks were a little bit damp so there’s not much to do after dark to be honest. It would be great if management could take this feedback and plan for some upgrades in the future, overall a lovely stay but wouldn’t recommend for the price.
We had a really wonderful experience here, the food was beautifully presented and as delicious as it looked. They accommodated dietary alterations to the set tasting menu and our waitress was hugely knowledgable about the menu, provenience of the food, and suggested a good pairing wine for the meal. She was friendly, personable and had a lovely manner. Even though there weren’t many other diners it didn’t detract from the ambiance; we enjoyed the secluded atmosphere sipping our cocktails by the toasty fire. The restaurant is in an incredible location hidden away in the middle of the woods, with a huge open plan dining room and plenty of wood burning fires to add to the rustic feel. We left feeling happily sated and that it was great value for a 5* meal.
We had a beautiful, tranquil experience staying at Paperbark Camp for two nights for my partner’s 30th birthday. The property really is incredible, with gorgeous bushland and rivers to explore. The staff were warm and helpful (Gemma in particular was an absolute delight!) but still gave us plenty of privacy. The early morning thermos delivery was a very nice touch too! The food was delicious and the chefs were fantastic at catering for our dietaries. Bring warm clothes and PJs if staying in the cooler months, and enjoy the reduced winter rates! Many, many thanks for a great stay.
The place is kind of cool, but it is massively overpriced for the experience. We spent here one night during the week between Christmas and New Year. We understand that this is absolutely peak season, but for one night they charged us over $800. For that type of price we were expecting a really luxury experience, but there is nothing luxurious about this place. It is actually quite rustic. The concept is cool and the tents are actually nice, but by far not worth $800.
I was so annoyed that it kind of ruined my stay. But let's assume for a second that they charged what this place is worth, say $300-$400/night. Then I would recommend it. It's a very special setting and quite a unique experience.
I woul definitely not recommended this place for the price we paid, but if you can get a decent deal, then go for it. It's going to be fun. Again, it's very basic and rather uncomfortable (especially on a hot day, since there is no air conditioning anywhere and tons of mosquitoes), but unique.
The restaurant on the other side is fairly priced for the experience and highly recommend. The 3 star rating is a reflection of that. If I had to rate only the accommodation it would be 2 stars at best!
