We made a short overnight stay, arrived late so didn't really get to know the area well. A shame that the DOC hot pools are shut (but the cabin will be well positioned when they re-open!). The shorter walking tracks in the hot springs reserve are not especially accessible via the alternative (non-pools) entrance.
The cabin itself is equipped like a basic motel unit, without the distractions of TV and WiFi (but good mobile coverage), and with a pleasant rural outlook. We'll spend longer in this area when there isn't a cyclone bearing down!
