Tanonga Luxury Eco Lodges

The location was so isolated and peaceful and the surrounding environment was absolutely beautiful. So many birds and koalas roaring in the trees. Given that there is no internet, it would be great to have a greater selection of DVDs as well as games available.

Privacy and peace and quiet but with all the modern ammenities. Fantastic!

Busland Retreat A truely lovely place to stay. 30 mins to Port Lincoln. Quiet and peaceful in a beautiful bushland.

A beautiful bush setting and eco lodge, but did not meet expectations for ‘luxury’ label and price-point. Dismissive response to feedback.

The eco lodge is still a very nice spot, but time has probably moved on a little and the accolades once awarded have perhaps ‘faded’ a little now so aren’t as relevant to what is currently considered a ‘luxury’ offering in the true sense. The $500 price ticket is probably about right but other than the view there aren’t standout aspects that make you feel it’s a ‘cut above’. If you want seclusion it’s absolutely perfect and it’s very warm and cosy whilst still spacious. But for what is essentially a ‘house’ it was a bit weird having no table and chairs. There were red wine glasses but only a single white wine glass! The confirmation says a bottle of wine is included. There wasn’t any. We’d never rely on that anyway and did bring our own, but if you had expected it to be there you’d be annoyed at being far out of town for your getaway or celebration without what was confirmed as an inclusion. There are no power points for phone chargers near your bed. There are no steak knives. Yet there is a lovely brand new bbq. That was great! The compendium of information is quite out of date. Having the loo IN the bathroom is a pain - can’t really understand that design when it’s such a large bathroom space. The concept behind a deep Japanese bath is fabulous but the reality is that it is NOT for two people as stated - it’s not comfortable for two and we are not two large people!!

The property has enormous potential, but attention to details are needed: Cobwebs outside, sure, but not inside. Dust and insect corpses in and around the living area. The promised "welcome bottle of wine" did not materialize. Use by dates long gone on jars of jam, one even had been opened by the prior occupant, a knife used to taste the product, then returned to the cupboard. A used bedsheet still in the sofa bed from the previous stay (I know this as I shook dead insects from it) No liquid soap in the shower. On the whole the property is stunning, the scenery is captivating. To make it really a 5 star stay though, it needs some work done to meet this standard.
