I had my wedding at Steele's Island. It was so beautiful. Truly emmersed in the wildlife. saw some possums, pretty cool. All the bathrooms look really new. everything was so clean and had a cool little kids corner that entertained my kids all weekend. Plenty of space, my wedding didn't feel cramped at all, even though we had to have the ceremony in the reception area because it was raining. Very worth the money for a wedding.

Pictures tell a thousand words. This place is stunning, tranquil and evoked memories of the play the woman in black for all the good reasons. I only visited for a work function rather than stay but felt like my visit was good for the soul. Truly a magic place

Attended a function recently and experienced some impressive changes since my last visit a few years back. The peace and tranquillity were as ever but the new bathrooms, refurbished beds and the improved road in were a massive plus. Facilities allow for year round comfort.

So uncomfortable doesn’t worth of the money ($260 per night). Small beds, no table inside the rooms. It was not clean at all. Layers of dust on everything. No dishwasher. No toilet paper holder. I could not take a shower due to the faulty bath. No drinkable water.

The place does not worth the money at all,if you pay $260 for a night, you expect to have the basic expectations met.
Small and uncomfortable beds for adults.
Old building , not even was able to open the sliding screen door.
Not spacious rooms and no table available to put my stuff on in the tooms.
Poor road condition to access the property, i had too much difficulty driving up to the cottage with my sedan car.
Single blankets didnt even have bed sheets.
No dishwasher available, the dishes and even the kettle were dirty to use.
Bath drain was of problem, the waste water wasnt getting drained properly.
Not enough light in the bedrooms and living area.
Drinking water not available.

Beautiful location and a fun time with friends. I can imagine this making a good location for a wedding or event.

That said, as a location to holiday, the experience was somewhat marred by facilities that where often not as advertised or simply mediocre. The Tennis Court, Mini golf and Pool table are all in need of matenance.

The plumbing was faulty in that the dishwasher was non-functional and spa baths unavailable for use. Several rooms did not have hot water and the water itself, which is from a tank, ran out on the first night. Probably worth noting that the showers themself are probably not that safe, a friend slipped over and could have injured themselves badly.

The house does not seem particularly secure, though it's probably not reasonable to share the specifics of that online. It is also missing a few things from the kitchen that one might expect to have, like a recycling bin, small saucepan or steak knives.

The house was also generally unclean, and check in was delayed for several hours, though this was likely due to whatever the guests before us were up to.

Our party was offered a partial refund which we have accepted and are grateful for. However this does not change the nature of the above concerns.

We stayed in a great little log cabin, self contained, with everything you need, you just supply your own food. It's secluded and backs onto an island inlet with an amazing view of Mt. Wellington. 5 min drive into Dodges ferry to get any food and supplies you need. Loved this place!
