Huntsman spiders; Grand Australia and New Zealand

I am terrified of big spiders. I read that they are common at the Silky Oaks Lodge. Has anyone had an issue with them in their rooms? I am so worried that I am considering canceling. And please don’t tell me not to worry about them. My phobia is real.

    When we went to Australia with Tauck some years ago, we were in one location and one of our group pointed to a colorful spider on a web nearby. The TD said, OMG, that is the deadliest spider in Australia, don’t go near it! Tauck did not stay at Silky Oaks back then!

    I didn’t see any spiders - or snakes for that matter. Silky Oaks is beautiful and so relaxing! It was one of the highlights of the trip for us.
