Summary: Platypus Den is a charming little cabin, in a wonderful bushland setting. The creek at the back of the property was a real highlight. While we didn't spot the platypusses in the creek, we enjoyed taking in the flora and fauna we did see while looking for them. Our hosts were onsite and very friendly and approachable. They provided a really helpful book of tourist information, and we had fresh flowers and a handwritten note to welcome us, as well as being met in person when we arrived.The room is well set out, with a well equipped kitchenette, a comfortable couch, and the bed area was roomy. There's charming art decorating the place and it felt quite homey. The mattress was a little hard for my liking, but others might like a bit more firmness in their mattress than I do. The bathroom is a little dated in parts, but is perfectly serviceable, and the radiator was definitely appreciated in the winter morning!The air conditioning provides the heat for the main room, and while I am sure that would be plenty for much of the year, we found it quite chilly in the bedroom area at night. There were plenty of extra blankets available, however, which made it nice and warm under the covers. Overall I would definitely recommend the Platypus Den to others, although if you feel the cold, it might be something to book outside of the winter.
