    The breakfast was abundant, and the accommodation was secluded and very quiet. If our flight isn’t delayed next time, we would love to check in earlier and experience their off-road vehicle rental. This place is a paradise for outdoor activities,...

    Dunny the boss he makes you feel most welcomed..... Out in the middle of nowhere about 6km from the main road. You think you're not going to get luxuries, how wrong I was. Great at night for looking at the stars.

    My stay at Porters Lodge was great. It has got an amazing view and a very cute dog. I found the breakfast a bit too expensive, but other than that, everything was great!
