"We had an amazing time at Gunyatoo and could have stayed for a lot longer. The lodge was amazing, everything we needed. The children loved the pool table and darts board as well as the pool. The food was absolutely delicious, and Debbie and Bob were so helpful.<br/>We would definitely recommend Gunyatoo."
"Nice place in the mountains nature!"
"Wonderful location nestled in the valley - near a private 70m water fall. Debbie & Bob were gracious hosts and their 5-course dinners a delectable treat: Haute cuisine for sure. The estate is serenely calm and is a great venue to get away from the mad city rush. We would certainly recommend it."
"Debbie and Bob were born to be B&B hosts! We had an amazing time at their beautiful home! Dropping down into the valley between the large pines was like entering into a secret world. One of our families highlights was visiting one of the amazing waterfalls close to their home. The waterfall drops at least 60-70 meters! Before the fall are rock pools for the kids to swim in and you can walk in behind the falls. Also a great retreat for Mountain bikers. All in all the visit was fabulous and the food divine. Will definitely be back!"
