Perfect mix of a relaxing stay and exciting activities - We had the best time on our platypus day trip and the sunrise wallaby tour. Michelle was our amazing guide, she was really friendly, knowledgeable and made the day a lot of fun (she’s also got some amazing pictures for us so that was definitely a bonus!). We also had an amazing stay at the lodge, Amanda made us feel really welcome and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Would highly highly recommend adding this as a stop to your trip!

- We had a fabulous day. Nathan was a very experienced and knowledgeable guide. Nothing was too much trouble for him from getting us umbrellas to moving the bus closer to the end of our walk. The gorge was beautiful but the highlight was seeing several platypus in their natural environment. Highly recommend.
