Everything!! What a beautiful lux stay in the most divine location. There is something so incredibly special about getting off grid & just enjoying nature at its best. There were thousands of stars to see & so cute you can lie in bed & enjoy them through the skylight. So decadent having a huge bathtub inside & out & so amazing to have a private sauna. What an unique stop over Loved, loved, loved CABN 10/10

    “This was an incredible “one in a life” experience! 100% worth the price. It was so peaceful and confortable. Kangaroos came very close. The beach was beautiful! We spent 2 nights in flinders chase and 2 nights here and it was a perfect combination to discover the KI.”

    “CABN was just incredible! The amenities are beautiful, the view was to die for, we just did not want to leave. For the price the experience is amazing. We used the sauna, the outdoor bath multiple times and the BBQ. We were Also impressed as to how they keep each CABN pretty private.”
