Guest Reviews

• Rebecca (8/5): Nice cabin - A nice place to stay, easy to find, full of personality Towels werent supplied & as we didnt know we didnt take any.
• Dunk (5/5): - Cheap No linen or towels
• Hanna (3/5): Basic - Directly across from pool And close to shops Cabin floors were filthy. Playground was dirt and full of mozzies. Was horrible for my 2 yr old. So run down.
• Murray (8/5): -
• Colin (4/5): - The cabin should be pulled down and path way was very bad.
• Krystle (1/5): - don't know I got there and went for a drive and looked ound and came across a sign not far from. Cabins etc warning absetors stay out so I left I felt unsafe
• David (7/5): Suited me needs for budget accommodation with all the facilities I needed in a great location. - I forgot to bring a towel, but they provided one for me at no extra cost.
• NAN-HSIN (5/5): -
• Noah (5/5): -
• Skyler (6/5): -
• Melissa (9/5): - Lovely quiet & in amongst the trees TV was small and no internet connection
• Ruby Anne (5/5): Maybe next time when they knew the people who booked they should organie to put the linens in their beds cos we are stru - Its alright the property When they didn’t organise to put the linens in the accomodation.The wifi was not good that we are struggling to connect and cant communicate to our family and the kids weren’t happy cant use the ipad and my lil one cant even watch the youtube!
• Burman (8/5): -
• Janet (6/5): Was very tidy staff were nice. Good facilities. - It was central to everything That I had to supply my own linen. Coming from a different state with carry on luggage it’s not something you want to do.
• corrine (10/5): -
• Donna (9/5): We had a relaxing couple days - Location is great cabins are spacious N/a
• Marjo (7/5): -
• Valerie (7/5): We enjoyed the stay, but would consider other options in the future with the knowledge of hindsight. - It was clean, conveniently located,and well priced. We booked a Hut. Now know there is a difference between a cabin and hut. eg. No ensuite, no hot water, no bedding (sheets). A lot of mosquitoes from evening to morning. Aero guard or similar is a must, especially closer to water.
• Chelsea (7/5): -
• MARCEL (9/5): - Good location and nice atmosphere. Had character. Unable to use wifi due to limited places where you can connect. Inconvenient.
• Venita (7/5): - Leafy surrounds The bed was old ! The curtains very dated, the above head lights(on the bed head ) were huge boat like lights , they were so close to your head that you couldn’t sit up in bed and read ! The lounge was old and dated as well!
• Vicki (7/5): Would stay again as the accommodation was fine for a short stay. - It satisfied our needs for the short stay. Needs some cockroach baits in the cabin as we killed three during our one night stay.
• John (7/5): -
• Alanis (4/5): Nice Location. Not worth your money. - The property itself was great! Great location and vibe! For what you pay for you don’t get linen or towels. I called to ask about this and was told an email was sent to my email (it was not). I did not bring my own linen or towels but then was told it was sent with the email that booking.com provided (that email she read out was a generic email sent by booking.com it’s basically made up I would know I worked in a hotel and did the same any messages had to be sent through booking.com itself or you have to ask for the guest’s email which was not done). She said that it was also in the room description, I couldn’t see it but she said she could. Regardless, an email clearly stating this is something that should be provided or in the general message sent out to even look for the specifications of each room because each one is different or it should be mentioned when I called prior to arriving when I asked clearly if the room was ready for our arrival. We called the out of hours number as suggested on the paper we got at arrival and was told on the phone it was the security line and told to call the reception in the morning for it yet we were only there one night so no point as we would have to leave before reception would open. So as a last resort had to dry myself with spare clothes I had packed because the only “towel” we got was a shower mat. As a first time guest I wouldn’t come back here. The room as well was not very clean and the bathroom was located past the room with bunk beds which one of my other guests were sleeping in there so you would need to go through their room if you need the bathroom. No body soap provided so you aren’t really getting much for your money. Nearly $200 for the night for no linen, no towels (extra cost which we were told about after we checked out). I’m not a picky person as I travel regularly and believe a bed is a bed.
• Donna (4/5): Disgusted -Not wheelchair accessible at all - Staff were friendly and made it easy to check in I paid extra thinking I had a wheelchair accessible unit. The only thing accessible was the ramp going into the unit. The bathroom or bedroom were not. I had to move the bed to get my wheelchair in. My wheelchair did not fit it in the bathroom I had to move onto a chair and then back again. Disgusted considering they charged me an extra $166 and I have no idea what for
• Neil (7/5): -
• Rose (10/5): Lovely accommodation we stayed in and so clean - The staff were lovely. We had to change accommodation as the place we had didn't have a bathroom.very nice it was. The pools were wonderful and the supermarket not far away. Great place
• Rhiannon (10/5): - Such a friendly easily accessible park
• Dearne (9/5): Our stay was extremely relaxing and quiet. - Ease of access to the property, the cabin was comfortable and the bed was comfortable, the shower was awesome. It was a nice quiet and relaxing time, the fishing in the creek was great. We would definitely stay there again. The saucepans didn't have the correct lids to fit them; however, we were still able to cook meals with them.
• Donna (8/5): Great little stay for a short break - The location was fantastic Everything was great
• Nikolett (7/5): -
• Lily (10/5): -
• Hayley (5/5): - Great spot for fishing Really weird linen wasn't included with our cabin...they initially tried to charge me $15 "per linen pack", but after some push back, reduced to $5. Fine. I still think its bizarre to not include it and not make it really obvious when booking...if I wanted to bring my own stuff, I would camp? Linen really is a standard inclusion. Anyway. The pools are ok, the cabin was nice. The location is good and the kids loved it. Overall, it was average and doubt we will stay again.
• Dave (9/5): - I’m just I
• Steven (10/5): Too short but lovely while it lasted - Loved it all location amenities comfort staff That we couldn’t stay longer
• Sarah (4/5): Average. - Cook top had only 1 working hot plate. Dead cockroach in main bedroom. No storage space for food and groceries.
• Gabriele (3/5): - Staff were lovely Cramped space
• Jen (9/5): -
• Amy (8/5): Great value for money, lovely staff and close to town - That it was close to shops/town, it had very clean and tidy amenities and the staff were all lovely and welcoming The top bunk didn’t have a mattress however there could’ve been a reasonable explanation like danger or I didn’t book that many beds and games rooms for the kids need to be updated and air conditioned but other then that I can’t fault it. Our stay was small but we had the best time.
• Anne (10/5): great for the family, caters for all. - clean room, friendly staff and great amenities. we didn't stay longer

• Rachel (4/5): - Pets are allowed which is great but there’s no regulation. Dogs off leash, dogs in the pool… Offered “outdoor dinning” 2m from the “dump eze”. Definitely could be be thought out better
• Melanie (10/5): Excellent highly recommend will def be back - Great spot good cabins Phone service was minimal in cabin

• Jamee (10/5): Will always come back :) - I’ve been staying at Lani’s since I was a little girl. It’s awesome value for money. And just feels so homely
• Hagarty (8/5): Good cottages and nice pools - Location was good and everything worked well. A lot of resorts supply linen, lanis is an added cost
• Tiffany (7/5): Had a great time - Multiple swimming pools small pool great for little ones and non swimmers. Short walk on-site to throw a fishing line in. Cabin photos made it look larger
• Shakira (8/5): -
• Krystal (7/5): - It was a cute little getting away n cute little carbon The blankets where very ichey and not very nice to sleep with
• Robyn (8/5): Great location near good shops. Very clean. - Amenities very clean & pool close. Would have liked bathroom in cabin but amenities very close. See above. Shouldn’t need to enter gate code to exit.
• Donna (10/5): - The staff were amazing , The kids had a wonderful time swimming in the pools and riding around the park on the pedal carts Walking along the tracks /roads The cabin was clean and comfy . Close to all shops . Wonderful stay . Nothing .
• loren (4/5): - The location of lanis The cabins were small, bedding was woeful, hiring of linen is ridiculous
• Rainima (10/5): -
• RONDA (8/5): -
• Alireza (7/5): -
• Whitbread (4/5): - The bed was very comfortable but room was small There was no bed linen or bath towels you had to hire them at an extra cost , there was a group of people staying in the two lodges opposite us that where very loud all night & early morning we got no sleep
• Jennifer (7/5): -
• Taania (10/5): -
• Helen (3/5): - Not much One of the worst places we have ever stayed in. We booked and paid online paying $140 a night. We arrived and to our horror realised that there was no on suite (bathroom or toilet). We asked for an ‘upgrade’ and was charged an extra $10! Once in our ‘upgraded’ cabin with the basic facilities we again realised that there were no bed sheets or towels. We thought that perhaps they just forgot to provide them. When I contacted reception I was told that they can provide them for an extra $15!!! We have never heard anything more ridiculous in any of our extensive travels all over the world. To top it off the blanket provided had some complimentary black hair on it and the cabin was extremely uncomfortable. Our advice is stay far away from this place at all costs!
• Nathan (10/5): -
• Janet (5/5): - Friendly staff Very noisy, hot water kept turning off and not very clean
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dan (3/5): Floor was not cleaned on arrival. Bed was uncomfortable and the cabin smelt very musty. - We liked the location being close to town. Floor was not cleaned on arrival. Bed was uncomfortable and the cabin smelt very musty.
• Radar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hoye (8/5): Very good -
• Wayne (7/5): Good -
• Victoria (6/5): Coco’s - Itxitciyc Coffs
• Ben (8/5): - Quick and easy check in, friendly staff, good parking, clean amenities, convenient location to shops, CBD, waterways and beaches.
• Colleen (7/5): Ok for short stay - Huts need an upgrade Floor in hut needs to be replaced
• Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Colleen (2/5): - It was horrible it wasn't the hut that i booked l had to pay extra to up grade the shower seriously. It was suppose to be 5 minutes to shower it wasn't even a five minute shower there was no bed linen no towels the blind didn't cover the front door propley the front door was hard to lock I will not be reckoned this establishment to anyone
• John (9/5): great - whole weekend
• Rhys (6/5): - For the price was ok
• Leigh (5/5): Basic and dated - Good location Out dated and uncomfortable. Vinyl 100mm mattress reminded me of school camp in the 80s
• Tonsta (6/5): Good Stay at Lani's ! - Cabin was very clean , especially for age of cabin , so great job. Tv worked great, bathroom very clean and hot water worked great, Facilities themselves where ok , games room ok , can see there was a bit of an effort to make better for kids, though looks a bit half done ( not finished) -probably bit more upkeep .overall Yes I would stay again , and for the price happy . and if you havnt stayed there , give it a go. Bed was older type, very uncomfortable. (we had an underlay we put on bed so helped)- park looked tired . alot of Preventative Maintenance work could be done , eg A/c unit sitting on the ground/sand on cabin 407, should be up on pavers at Least, palm branches broken on the ground, and seeds, can lead to tripping hazards around camp kitchenand BBQ areas. etc ) ( not tring to be critical, just helpfull) Camp kitchen area also can do with some work , tables looking bit tired . is ok and usefull , though always room for improvement. found alot ( 3-I saw ) lights all-round our area and pool camp kitchen area not working , makes for a very dark area in some spots . simple things like this can be fixed easily. like I said just tring be helpfull, I have managed a large park before and know what happens in the background and some of the problems parks can have.
