    If I had to pinpoint something; Not having an ‘unobstructed’ view, every window had net to prevent insects from entering the cabin. It’s great for ensuring comfort but I did wish I could have a view without the net

    Everything was great! The private forest, the quiet, the view, sounds of nature, Jane’s hospitality, homemade bread and jam made with fruits of the forest, oh my gosh, amazing

    We went on the rain-forest walk down to the waterfall and Mary River. As amazing it was in the humid wet rain-forest, we were advised and I quote to used "Aerogard or Bushman's personal pest spray, eucalyptus oil and take salt as there may be leeches". Being they are only blood suckers and can generally be flicked off, although they are shifty little creatures and will follow you inside to suck your blood. Once found, removed, cleaned our wounds and applied band-aids, we were all good, just cautious. Amusing slightly

    There was no breakfast included, were had our own meals to cook on the supplied facilities, although the owner did deliver scrumptiously delicious freshly baked bread both mornings. The serenity was incredibly relaxing, being totally of the grid was comforting. Although WiFi was available if required. There were a plethora of DVDS to watch.The clouds and change of the surrounding rain-forest during our stay through multiple windows was spectacular.

    Just a suggestion, but fresh towels if you’re staying longer than 48 hours.

    Location was excellent, being ‘off the grid’ was a surprise but allowed us to enjoy the peaceful environment and we wouldn’t change that aspect of it.

    There were some small leeches on the rainforest walk on the property. The last part of road to get the property was a little narrow(single lane), though not much traffic.

    Amazing place with breathtaking view of nature, lovely birds, a warm fire place and wonderful hospitality. Our host provided wonderful fresh bread and provided nice homely items in the house that is unusual to see in accommodation

    Thanks Jane for welcoming us to the Seek Pavilion. Loved being so close to nature, without reception and distractions. The rainforest walk to the creek was a unique experience. The cheese plate & wine + daily breakfast offering were pleasant add ons. Jane also lovingly recommended where yo eat within the town. Looking forward to come back to your paradise! :)

    Do not recommend to go on rainy days, we were unlucky. We still walk a little around and got the feet infested of leech. Advice: use salt! No wifi, and very noisy rain for 3 days.

    Breakfast was basic, bread delicious, jam and butter. Coffee ground (not my favourite) and black tea ( not my favorite), just 500ml milk for 2 nights was not enough. We bought our own milk, coffee and herbal tea. Was expecting cheese platter and eggs as in comments.
