Tandara

I was a bit worried after reading some of the other reviews but our stay was wonderful! The Tandara is gorgeous, especially the bathroom which has a bathtub and double shower. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable. We had lots of visitors from bush turkeys and a very friendly water dragon who sat with us on the deck. We didn't find any issue with noise or location like some of the other reviews mentioned, we could mainly just hear birds. Overall, a really relaxing stay and we will definitely come again!

Went here for 1 night with husband as a gift for his birthday. The PROS: - The bath and shower was nice, instant hot water - Deck was nice to eat and sit outside with - not sure about views overlooking Lane Cove National Park but it was nice still - Nice touch with the fake fireplace inside tent, good for cold evening - Large fridge for storage - Bed was soft and large - Reasonably close to walking Riverside walking trail and picnic points The CONS: - We didn't know this, but the tent/area is directly under flight path. There were so many planes up until the late afternoon about 6pm, so it was quite noisy on the deck. - At night still, you can still clearly hear traffic/main road sounds from tent - The tent is weathered and tired-looking - The tent strongly smelled like wet umbrella which is understandable being out against the elements for ages. You need to try ventilate as much as you can. The tent had mould, dust and webs along ceiling. - Surfaces along bedhead, bedside tables, light shades needed wiping from dust - Nowhere on site mentioned what type of cutlery would be provided or not etc. Didn't know a microwave was provided. There was a kettle and toaster provided. I couldnt find, but there was no plates, no cutlery, any BBQ cooking utensils, dishwashing sponge/liquid, and no tissues. There was however 2 wine glasses, 3 mugs and 2 glass cups provided, with some tea/coffee + 1 milk. If you go, please bring those items to eat/clean with. - Had a mouse in the tent which... freaked us out. Guess that's what you get #nature Overall, it was OK the stay. Although you may feel physically you're out of Sydney being in the national park, the noise of traffic and planes made that impossible to completely take you there. You are literally next to the caravan park so just bear in mind you wont be secluded completely, you're pretty close to other people. The tent needs a bit of a refurbishment and work and airing. If you can, bring some mosquito repellent or coils as there is quite a number around or be mindful to close the tent net. And try not leave food scraps in bin outside next to BBQ as there was a possum that ransacked through it at night keeping us up and climbing on our tent. This review is trying to neutral and observant, if you decide to go just keep these pointer in mind for the visit.
