I and colleagues stayed there last September. Although we notified management that we would require bedding for the fold-out couch, it was not there when we arrived, and there was no-one at reception. The room was not clean. The fold-out bed was particularly grotty. A family was partying in the room above us until well after midnight, complete with the... More

Interesting review in that it has taken 6+ months to be written, you must wonder at the motivation. Our office hours are 8:30AM to 6:30PM daily which are clearly posted on our door along with an after hours urgent contact mobile number whenever we are off the premises. We recall that these guests did arrive outside our office hours and... More

We prebooked and paid for 3 weeks accomodation based on the website and reviews. After the first night we asked for our money back because the room was not to the standard advertised and made us sick. We asked for a refund of the unused accomodation but were told that the room was to there standard. This is not a... More

This was a business booking that came via our website which does show our cancellation policy. This is also our busy time and we had held this booking for the company. Their workers arrived and after the first night came to reception stating that the room had made them sick. We enquired how this could be the case and they... More

The positive comments on Tripadvisor influenced us to book and pay a month in a one bedroom unit with sofa bed. (on arrival – No Sofa bed) The term Holiday Resort is misleading. I am a seasoned traveller – backpacker, budget, luxury..... I’ve done them all. But have never had such an enervating experience. It is a real pity that... More

These guests were two sisters who come from a very quiet place in the countryside of South Australia. They in fact told me that where they live you can't hear anything but the wind at night. After a couple of nights they told us that the place was too noisy and they couldn't sleep. We are out of the city... More

We arrived and were well greeted by one of the guests of Rainforest Grove, he was asked to pick us up. He was very nice and waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment was rather normal - a large living room with a pull out sofa. There were two bedrooms, a queen bed with two closets and a room... More

Unfair and innaccurate is what we say about this review. Firstly we advertise this room as a Luxury Family Apartment and do so advising all enquiries about the only bathroom is off the main bedroom, everyone knows this when they book. We only book this room to families who usually have no trouble with this arrangement. In the 5 years... More

My parter and i spent 2 weeks at rainforest grove. We stayed in the one bedroom deluxe apartment. The rooms were set out nicely with full kitchen and air-conditioning. The resort is set well out of town on the edge of the rainforest, no traffic noise AT ALL! It was good to hear the sounds of nature during the day... More

Rob and Alisi were very helpful and entertaining at all times. Rob went to considerable extra trouble to help us get our GPS sorted out. He has vast knowledge of the fauna of the rainforest and shares his enthusiasm. The Resort was more than adequate; well equipped and clean. Everything worked and it was a delight to wake up and...

Sometimes you get a wonderful surprise and this is what we got from Rainforest Grove Holiday Resort. From the moment that the manager collected us from the airport and checked us into our room we felt spoiled. He assisted us with maps, local information, tour bookings and advice, he even checked the weather website to help us select the best... More

This is a very unfair and inaccurate review. We attended to all of these guest's complaints though in many cases we could not actually see what they were complaining about. We went at 10:30pm to remove a very small spider web (no spider just a web) that had been missed under the dining table. Also because we were told their... More
