Staircase to the Moon

Good location but the Conti needs to pay better attention to the rooms, what they advertise and what they deliver. Our check in was late and the excuse was 'we are fully booked'. If you wanted a late checkout or your room serviced though that cost you extra- but okay to not be able to check in at the advertised time! Our room was also missing a lounge/casual seating area - just a large space and lonely table in the middle of it! Booked two of the same rooms, one had a coffee machine but the other didn't, one had towels (some missing) and the other had no towels at all - had to ask for them. Reception staff were great but there was little they could do because all the issues we encountered were outside their control and no Manager on site... Anyway- you ge the picture. Do better Conti!

This is a beautiful place to stay - loved the location, the stunning coastal scenery and near deserted beach where you can relax the day away in sheltered hammocks or swimming in the pristine waters. The activities offered at the retreat were great - we thoroughly enjoyed a kayak tour along the gorgeous shoreline and a guided fishing tour to Jacks Creek which was a lot of fun but the highlight was a truly wonderful sunset tour where we watched a spectacular sunset from a nearby headland as we sipped on bubbles and enjoyed a delicious cheese platter laid out for us on a private table on the clifftop. All of the staff, most of whom come from all corners of the world, were lovely and always helpful and accommodating. We stayed in one of the villas in a quiet bushland spot where we were woken every morning by a cacophony of bird song - beautiful! We would have preferred one of the ocean view villas but nevertheless had a comfortable stay. My only critique/feedback is that the villas do provide facilities for self-catering but unless you bring food supplies yourself there is no ability to purchase items at the retreat. Despite that, we highly recommend this wilderness retreat and would certainly love to stay again!

Room was clean and quiet… Breakfast in the morning was a welcome touch.. Proximate to walking downtown to Chinatown or local restaurants and pubs… Staff was remarkable, kind and considerate
