We loved the wildlife. Kangaroos were frequent visitors. Lovely bird life. The area was perfect for walking and spotting koalas. Our room was clean and comfortable

Raymond Island is spectacular. The hotel is in a great location. However, the rooms need a can of paint to freshen them up and please get some comfortable beds. Not a good value for the price you are charging.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable but a bit run down and dated. In one of our rooms we had a large number of moths flickering about, but when they were dealt with we enjoyed staying in the rooms. Each room has a fridge, coffee maker, coffee/tee and a small dining table and chairs. The surroundings were very dry (no rain for a while) so looked a bit run down as well, but this might be partly due to the drought. We saw plenty of kangaroos on the lawn and on the island and tons of Koalas and beautiful birds. All in all a nice experience.

We enjoyed a quiet stay in an older property which had everything we needed. Appreciated being allowed to charge our EV at the laundry block. It was fun catching the ferry over to the island and there was nice a sense of community. The koala trail in the morning was fantastic and unexpected - there are lots and I've never seen them in the "wild" before.

The Hotel was nice and clean as described we would be more than happy to stay there again in the future. The Abby is located in a beautiful part of the island with east access to the Koala Trail and the beach. It is nice quiet getaway. The Wi-Fi connection was very good and the bathroom spacious and bed very comfy. I lovely getaway retreat from it all

The location and surrounding wildlife was wonderful. The water location and the ferry to get across to the mainland was very romantic.
