the setting of paperbark camp is beautiful and peaceful - absolutely what you expect from this type of accommodation. kajaking on the quaint river spotting one or the other kangaroo at sunset = picture-perfect australia. we were also impressed by the friendly staff and the quality of the kitchen, delivering excellent dinner and breakfast.

unfortunately, the tent did not fully live up to our expectations, in particular considering the high price-point of more than AUD 1000/night (including dinner and breakfast). we think that more thorough cleaning (dust, spiderwebs, etc.) and one or the other touch-up could be expected (while we expected wildlife, we did not expect 4 cockroaches in the tent's wardrobe).

Although the location and tents are amazing, it is the staff and the food that stand out above the rest. The staff make a huge effort to get to know you, take a genuine interest in your experience and are always on had to help with advice on activities, make recommendations, or simply tempt a curious Possum away from your tent! Although the hotel is listed as a 3 star, the service and attention to detail in your experience is a good as any 5 star hotel we’ve stayed in. The food and restaurant setting are a highlight also.

Loved the communal area open plan with tree views, high on stilts. Loved the tent set up bathroom and outdoor area.

The only problem was I was sleeping on a camp bed probably better for a child. The other person my friend had the king bed. I think it would be better to separate the beds into two singles so that we have both have a good night sleep! My back was very sore after this.

Food was exceptional and the staff were lovely. Just the right balance of friendly / chatty / attentive but not intrusive. Bikes, paddle boards, kayaks were all good quality and in good condition. Tents were very good, clean and easily heated. We often have low expectations of “luxury” in Australia but we felt like this was good value and was exactly as website described. Loved it.

Beautiful place, very well run.

Nothing, but be aware the cicadas are very loud during daylight hours! I’d recommend bringing some headphones or ear plugs so you can get a break from them when you need to.

Breakfast was delicious. The staff, particularly Jess and Sandy were fantastic. Chris, the general manager was so attentive during our stay, which made a little getaway so enjoyable. Would recommend your venue to anyone who is winning a refreshing getaway in an intimate secluded surroundings.

Nothing

Since it was summer, I was worried about the lack of air conditioning, but the Sydney summer was very cool and no problem at all

Everything was better than I had imagined.

It was better than we ever expected and the dinner and breakfast included was absolutely amazing! Will be going back not just for the restaurant but to stay again

Amazing food. Very comfy & cosy bed. Staff very friendly.

Because we stayed 3 nights, the food variety each night was pretty much the same. Just a bit more food variety. But the food was amazing.

Paperbark camp is an experience like no other. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The food is next level amazing. Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely incredible. Overall a wonderful experience.
