Cherratta Lodge

They run the business very well, and the food is great. Staff are really accommodating. The gym is the worst part. It needs one large room with a squat rack and other standard equipment. If they fix that issue, the camp would be great. For FIFO workers, it’s an outlet for mental wellbeing, so facilities should support that.

I’m really enjoying my stay. The food is delicious, with plenty of healthy options as well as enough cakes and treats for my sweet tooth. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, and the staff are excellent. They sort out issues quickly, like a blown light bulb. Shoutout to Byron and Jenny, they’re always lovely and helpful, and give great customer service.

The rooms are pretty good, and the old section has been updated. Facilities are quite good too. But the food, well, I’ve had the misfortune of staying here several times in the past year. It’s ordinary at best, and the selection hasn’t changed day to day this year. It’s like Groundhog Day every day, and I can see why people get depressed living in camps. If you have transport, skip the food add-on and eat elsewhere. The caravan park one block over does a 1000% better job, with a much better selection made by chefs who take some pride in their work. Eat there.

Some rooms are pretty good and some aren’t. The food is terrible one week, then not so terrible the next. The kitchen is too small for the number of people at camp, and the gyms are far too small for everyone trying to use them in the morning.
