Guest Reviews
- Bronwyn (8/5): Enjoyable. Served its purpose. - Breakfast wasnt provided.
We felt the units were well appointed. They had everything we needed.
The grounds tidy and everything accessible. The floor wasnt clean in the living room area.
- Sandra (8/5): - Loved the pool. The part where you have to keep blinds down otherwise no privacy.
- Kirsty (9/5): My new favourite place to stay in Adelaide - The double bed was super comfy the single beds were a little hard for my daughter.
The room was beautiful the bath was Amazing
Peaceful location with an amazing atmosphere pool looked great but the weather was too cold for a dip. Great place to stay I know I’ll be back again The weather is the only thing I can complain about the Retreat was Amazing
- Dannii (7/5): - Kids just love the pool and slides The smell of our cabin was gross and the inside was not clean
- Sjaaneke (10/5): -
- Karly (10/5): - It's always my favourite place to stay in Adelaide. Clean, so many things to do, bbq area, right next to the beach the staff always make it super fast and easy to check in.
- LEIGHA (10/5): - Location 👌 facilities 👌 clean and tidy 👌
Perfect for our stay!
- Jacinta (7/5): It was nice, comfy. But probably wouldn’t stay again - Location was good. Staff gave wheelchair room when requested and it was very helpful and appreciated As we have been traveling around the kids enjoyed little food vans, and outdoor cinema but this didn’t have many activities like this for kids entertainment
- Kate (10/5): -
- veronica (10/5): -
- Pascal (9/5): nous avons passé un excellent séjour - Le chalet est très bien et à proximité de la plage La proximité de l'aéroport est un inconvénient le matin à 6h avec les avions qui décollent ou atterrissent.
- Helen (10/5): -
- Katie (10/5): - Absolutely loved the Sand Dune cabin, had a wonderful stay! Nothing!
- Melissa (10/5): - It’s our favourite place to stay when we are in Adelaide
- Faamatala (10/5): I didn’t like that I had to leave and come home, really enjoyed my time and will be back - good location close to all amenities, cafes & bars and had an enjoyable experience
- Samantha (10/5): This place ticked so many boxes, very happy with our stay and look forward to staying again! - The villas (towards the rear of the park) were a great size for a family of 5. Aircon and heating ducts in all the rooms but the best of all was having our own washing machine supplied! Also loved how big the couch was and the outside table and chairs were great too. Also very close access to the beach. The kids beds were actual beds and not bunks. Will definitely stay again. The outdoor seating area could probably do with retractable blinds - at times as the sun was pretty hot & glarey in the late arvo, had to retreat inside.
- Lyndsey (10/5): Amazing accommodation, amazing location, I wish I could stay longer!! - So great, so much room and had everything I needed. Nothing!
- peter (8/5): -
- Kahli (9/5): - Villa was modern, tidy, central but private. The children loved the pool, games room, grass space, jumping pillow and exploring the play grounds. Only it being a but pricey and we could hear a bit of the traffic from our villa
- Jakub (7/5): -
- Leeson (8/5): Good - Location Dirty windows & torn blinds & timber windows need attention
- Andrew (8/5): Expenive for what it is but it was clean and quiet after 10pm - Definately a Family Paradise economical if you have two families share 1 unit when its just a couple 380 Dollars a night is a little expensive but other than that cant complain. Some people in the park used their own music at the pool that was louder than the privided music the park has at the pool area and they were drinking Alcohol in the pool area.
- Ryan (10/5): First time staying at this location we absolutely loved everything about our stay! - We loved the location of our cabin - being close to the playground for the kids and close access to a laundy facility. We loved that we were tucked away so the kids could freely run around with not much worry about cars etc. Definately not a deal breaker as i understand we could have washed our own towels. However, being away doing activities all day, possibly fresh towels provided every second day would be lovely. Especially on a stay longer than two nights.
- jill (9/5): -
- Senga (10/5): Loved it x - Clean, lovely pool and beach access, good bus service. Mirror too high in bathroom.
- Linda (10/5): -
- Latisha (9/5): Will be returning - Space Smell coming from bathroom
- Zoe (8/5): - Usually when we have stayed we had the mini soaps, shampoos, conditioners, coffee etc but nothing was supplied which made it harder as then we had to do another trip to the shop
- CASSANDRA (10/5): - great location and close to the airport
- Ashlee (9/5): We had a fun, enjoyable stay. Will definitely recommend to others and be back. - We loved that the houses were in all different spots and facing different directions. It didn't feel cramped or too close.
The pool area was amazing and very clean.
- Thomas (7/5): Pleasant except for the above. - Very Spacious and well kept house. Less than half a roll of toilet paper, 1 Guest soap and 5 sachets of coffee for 2 people for 4 nights was somewhat stingy at that price point. Would have been better to book 4 individual nights me thinks.
Staff during morning hours displayed the attitude of "how dare he ask for more" even to being told "there is no more coffee". Not a good picture for a $200+ per night property.
Please note that the lady who booked us in was extremely nice and did say "anything you need, just come see the office staff". Unfortunately her colleagues did not seem to agree.

- Brady (10/5): -
- stephen (10/5): lovely spot. would certainly stay again. had a lovely time. - great spot. absolutely loved it. we could see the ocean, the city and the hills. easy walk to the beach, and the kids had a great time in the pool and on the jumping pillow.
The cabin was spacious and well appointed.
loved the front veranda. the toilet in the bathroom. tricky with a family.
no vacuum cleaner to clean the carpet. having a 5 day stay we had to get down on our hunches and sweep off the whole carpet with the dustpan brush, which was painful.
- Chris (8/5): Fairly expensive, but a lovely spot, lots for everyone to do and close to the beach - Very quiet abd roomy Everthing was fine

- Te Paea (10/5): Best place to stay for families. Big rooms clean tidy grounds and so much to do for the kids, close to the beach - Everything.
- Toby (10/5): Amazing place to stay as a family! loads to do and see! will defiantly come back again! - The kids had such a great time. We really wished we had more days to stay there! the pool upgrade was amazing! and the Nice Bach walk to a coffee shop shop was fantastic! Couldn't fault the stay at all! everything was great!

- danny (10/5): Plenty to do here. Amazing facility. Huge cabins - Located on beach, basketball, beach volleyball, jumping thing, pool, waterslides. So much going on here. Great staff. 3 room cabin was massive
- Kiara (9/5): - Location and activities (waterside,pool,basketball court,jumping pillow and bike hire) The cabins light flicked.
- Jessica (8/5): -
- Adam (10/5): Amazing park. We will stay there again next time. - It is a great holiday park. We enjoyed everything, particularly the pool and waterslides. Nothing
- Gary (10/5): Fantastic! - It was a great location and close to the airport & city also.
Amazing staff and facilities for our family with 2 young kids (8-10yrs) was excellent.
Great comfort & cabin was beautiful with great inclusions, bath, bbq, 2 tv's.

- Tim (10/5): -
- Daniela (9/5): -
- Melissa (2/5): Disappointed - Location Our cabin Spinafex number 57, was on a severe lean. Cabin had Been restumped and it was still badly sunken. When you walked throughout the entire cabin moved, during rain and wind you could also feel the cabin moving. Very unsafe a danger waiting to happen
- Tionee (10/5): Best accommodation - Room and the kids loved the pool. Location was great.
- kimberley (10/5): -
- Melissa (9/5): Fantastic family getaway - Great location. Very clean and well presented. My particular cabin could of done with some outside blinds or shade cloth to provide a little protection from the sun and the wind.
- Denise (9/5): -
- Melanie (8/5): - squeaky bed
- Nerrida (10/5): - Very comfortable, clean, great location. Loved it.
- Frederik (8/5): A great place to stay for our first visit to Adelaide. - Great location close to shopping and Adelaide city. Sunsets over the water were spectacular. A good range of family friendly activities in and around the park. The swimming pool was lovely. The games room didn't work properly. The sink plug in the bathroom didn't work, but we made do. There is aircraft noise from the Adelaide airport nearby, but it was not enough to spoil our stay, we would happily stay again.
- Leticia (10/5): - This is our second time saying absolutely just love it.
- Stacey (8/5): Fantastic grounds near the beach and comfortable room - Loved the distance between the cabin and the green space in front of the cabin we stayed in. I also loved the cabin feel of the interior. The pool was disappointing for children who aren’t strong swimmers due to the depth. No where for water play aside from the slide really.
- Emily (10/5): - It’s easy great family space
- Sumari (10/5): -
- Benno (10/5): Great park great loction - Great secluded location away from the hussle and bussel of the city which is only minutes away. SA Waters main wash shut off due to a burst from mid afternoon until around 11:30pm' but no drinking water was offered or supplied to guests. Had to ring the SA Water water drop team to get boxed water supplied. Feel in future the park could make this call and arrange.
- Tab (10/5): Brilliant holiday for a family - Pool

- Carly (7/5): - Great location , friendly staff , very clean Needs a separate space for the babies / toddlers in the pool - so older kids don’t splash them in face etc
- jamie (8/5): - I really liked the closeness of everything, I just came for a couple of days so it was convenient to stay so close to the airport and being right next to the beach was a plus for going on a walk I found the bed was really uncomfortable, I couldn't get to sleep or when I did i only slept for 3 hours
- Jocelyn (10/5): - The cabin seems new.. clean, 2 BR, one with king bed and one with 3 twin beds, everyone comfortable. Lot of things to do in this resort. Very nice. Will book it again.

- Michael (8/5): - The retreat was fantastic plenty of entertainment for the kids. The 2 bedroom unit was comfortable and had most of what we needed on a daily basis.
