Book a Rathdowney Cottage

"Location was good for me as I was hiking in the area. Room is basic but comfortable and clean. Shower was warm and good pressure. Walls are very thin between rooms so I was woken a few times by my neighbours playing videos on their phones and snoring. Otherwise, good stay. Service stations and cafes in Aratula."

"Efficient service Friendly "

"The property was very run down. Activities that are advertised are not there. e.g. Putt Gold looked like a graveyard. Bathtub and jets were full of mould."

"Staff fantastic helpful & friendly "

"Great stay, very clean. Fire pit was awesome. Good location and views. Our dog loved it to."

"Honestly amazing host and loved my time! Will 100% visit again! Trust me come and stay here, you will feel connected to life again."

"From the receptionist to the restaurant staff to the cleaning staff, everyone was very helpful and friendly. The pre-packaged meals (breakfasts and dinners) were great! Make sure you bring an appetite! The accommodation (Sky Lodge) could not be faulted - the advertised pictures accurately represented the quality of the accommodation. Would definitely return!"

"Love this place. "

"First of all the location is excellent… right in the middle of the rainforest, although the drive up there is not for the faint hearted. My room was very basic, which was expected. The thing I didn’t like was that the door to the deck didn’t seal at all, so when the wind blew at night it rattled the blinds and kept me awake. Parking spots are very tight for even a modest size car. Food options were limited and expensive. If you are not in a self catering unit you run out of choices quickly. I didn’t do too many activities but the e-bike ride and the morning bird watch were great. I did several solo hikes which were also great. The view of the stars at night was stunning."
