Very poor value for money
On arrival floor dirty with fine red dust, broken blind, fridge door shelves missing, outdoor light not working and no wifi in the cabin. Obliging staff when problems reported, but for $500 a night, it should be perfect when one arrives. The restaurant is the only place open until 4:30pm(?) when the bistro/bar opens and provides limited offerings and is expensive. Can't eat in the cabin because there are no facilities, not even a microwave and there is no table or chairs inside necessitating the bringing of the outdoor table and chairs inside, when one wanted to sit anywhere other than the bed. The daily room service did not include sweeping, vacuuming or mopping the floor (and no broom is provided). Wifi is available around the restaurant and bar, and I noticed that wifi in the cabin is available in the most expensive rooms, so it can be provided to the next level of rooms if management wishes to do so. Both pools were great and the cabins otherwise comfortable. Staff were friendly and responsive. Too many problems and limitations to justify $500 per night.

The glamping room was a great experience. Clean, modern and organised, nice pool and next to a petrol station. Keep in mind that prices in the restaurant are way too expensive though.

The large pool was great & we loved the adult pool, it was nice & cool. Access to Yellow waters is so convenient at Cooinda & we love Yellow Waters. The food at Mimi restaurant was delicious too. Unhappy about room not being serviced for the 3 days we stayed, especially as we needed a bath mat & bath towel & tissues. We did ask 3 times on the 2nd day. The third time the reception lady gave me 2 pool towels, a box of tissues & a drink voucher each, which was nice but we still didn't get serviced the next day. When leaving, the staff member asked about our stay & I mentioned about the room. She said they were busy & other things were priorities.

For a quiet time of year, they looked after us. Unfortunately the boat ramp was closed. The staff made an extra effort to accommodate our preferences even tho the Wotif notes didn’t come through on our booking. So Wotif was the only let down, however it was cheaper then booking direct.
