Guest Reviews

• Victoria (9/5): Perfect - Great value and location for what we needed Lock on bathroom door
• Kirstie (10/5): -
• Chelsea (7/5): Location was perfect to our stay , easy to find and our cabin had everything we needed for 1 night. - Our cabin was perfect for our stay. Room was clean and tidy. Had everything we needed to 1 night stop over. The entry door - It had glass panels and it was like daylight at first light, so bright.
• Marty (8/5): My 8yo son had a great time playing and swimming with all the other kids there.. - Location & Price Cabins very small... a little dated.
• Giovanni (10/5): -
• Alison (9/5): Clean, family friendly and welcoming - Rooms are clean and exactly as you see them online. Staff are extremely friendly and went the extra mile after hours which was really appreciated. Will recommend this place to anyone! Kids had a ball with the jumping pillow, water play area and the pool. Perfect for families. Highway noise was atrocious and native birds like scream late at night but these can't be helped and aren't anyone's fault.
• Karen (9/5): Great spot for the grandchildren. - Activities for the grandchildren.
• Dee (9/5): Great location and staff lovely - Location to the rugby union field and easy to cbd Needs more seating around the pool area.
• Trevy (10/5): -
• Dan (9/5): -
• Charleston (8/5): Great location, clean & comfy stay. - Great location, loved the family friendly facilities. Room was tidy and mostly well kept. Outdoor setting dusty/dirty. Room needed some repairs such as bathroom vanity door was bent/broken, pools needed cleaning. We requested a smoke-free room as we were travelling with an infant, yet we were placed in a cabin that had an ashtray on the balcony & had to go inside a few times with Bub due to other nearby smokers smoking. This made it feel like we couldn’t fully enjoy the outdoor patio due to smoke wafting in from neighbours. Glad we brought our pillows from home as the ones in the room were very flat.
• Carmen (9/5): -
• Brown (8/5): -
• Nakita (10/5): - The fact it was a big room and it had alot of things I could use as well as feeling like home I felt like I could breathe The fact people where watching me
• Victoria (7/5): -
• Victoria (7/5): -
• Erwin (5/5): 2days - It has everything we needed Very dirty under the bed and very noisy a night time. Trucks passing by with compression breaking
• Jeff (8/5): Great for kids! - Very good for kids and friendly staff Not cheap and quite small cabin but no issues
• Ashleigh (7/5): -
• mumma staycation (10/5): - The park itself it well mantained. Facilities were of a good standard. They had a meal vendor there for the weekend food was amazing. Nothing at all to not like.
• Kacie (8/5): -
• Karen (10/5): - The balcony and the weather
• Brown (10/5): -
• Kayla (10/5): -
• Berghahn (10/5): - Facilities Bedding was covered in dog hairs
• Carol (7/5): - Broken toaster Broken bedside light Outside spotlight on 24 hrs a day. Made it too light to sleep at night
• Marissa (10/5): The staff were lovely we had a ball at the waterslide an enjoyed the walk around the swop with all the birds. The room w - Fun for my son an l the wild life helped him to talk. No complaints there
• Sanjai (10/5): -
• Jenni (10/5): It was a perfect cabin, had everything, plus was very clean & beds were great. - Everything. Great facilities & our cabin was great. Had everything we needed. Nothing.
• mumma staycation (10/5): - Even with the wet weather the kids still enjoyed the pool and,water park The pillow, was closed but we will stay again The kids loved watching a young fella catching some fish The rain ( well the kids didnt but we still enjoyed our stay) at least it wasnt cold
• Mrs Selina Mulondo (9/5): Some issues but alternative arrangements made - Location, friendly staff, kids areas Issue with no hot water in shower - handyman came, couldn’t fix on the spot. Offered a replacement upgraded cabin. Issue with the water play area - used splash pool instead.
• Kaylene (8/5): - Very affordable and comfortable
• Nicole (1/5): - Was not much to like. Staff quit aggressive MJ was very rude as we were waiting for admin to open. Yelled at us before finding out we were there early as it was arranged. Never cleaned under furniture very dusty. Fans in cabin clocked up with dust. No pleasant to see the pool clean clearing his throat and spitting on the ground around the pool. Managers need to discuss with staff if they actually want to work there.
• Glen (3/5): Needs to be rebuilt - Bed sheets was clean and only item that seemed new The cabin was very outdated and needed a lot of repairs or updates. Bedroom fan very noisy and air-cons needed to be cleaned and or definitely updated, spare blankets weren't cleaned and full of dog hair, but had to use to cover the very damaged small lounge. Nothing like the photos on the site that I'm guessing were taken from when they were first built many many years ago, glad we only stayed 2 night, couldn't wait to leave.
• Breeha (8/5): Will be back! - The staff were very friendly on arrival. Their communication was good before and during the stay. Although the pool was 'out of action' during our stay, their communication was clear as to the reason why, and the focus on health and safety was obvious. There were lots of ants (possibly due to the massive amounts of rain) - it would be great to have some additional 'ant spray' or a surface spray for us to use to reduce the ants' impact.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Live (9/5): -
• Tiffany (9/5): -
• JULIENNE (8/5): -
• Cindy (4/5): Not the best - Price was fair. All of the facilities are so run down, pool looked terrible, slide closed and the mini golf needs to be either upgraded or removed! Very very rundown compared to our stay a few years ago unfortunately.
• Amanda (1/5): Worst holiday park I’ve ever stayed at. - The holiday park is so run down. It looks nothing like the photos. The waterslide is ‘under maintenance’ and has been for a long time by the looks of it. The pool is dirty. The mini golf course is so run down, it doesn’t look like it’s been maintained in well over a decade and they still charged us to use the golf clubs. The office staff were so rude and unwelcoming.
• Kathryn (10/5): - Excellent customer service and our cabin had everything we required Nothing
• Jeff (3/5): - Close to harbour First room smelt very bad had to move rooms after first night Staff where ok but also a little abrasive before moving us
• Jennie (9/5): -
• Jessica (4/5): Needs updating - Room was a large size, with a full size fridge. Bunk bed with bottom bed being a queen was a positive for extra sleep space. The top bunk had not been made or cleaned when we checked in. The kids water play area needs maintenance, updating and shade. Another pool and water slide was closed for repairs. One of the amenities blocks was closed so there was a long walk to the toilet/ shower block. More trees/ gardens would make it more appealing and create more privacy between the cabins. The cabins need a screen door to keep out flies. TV'S need to be updated.so that you can log on to Netflix.
• Sandra (9/5): We had a great stay - It was clean and location was good Nothing
• Jan (10/5): - Lovely environment All good
• Fiona (4/5): -
• Kerrie (8/5): Value for money Clean accommodation - Location was great. Easy to find,staff at reception friendly and helpful
• karen (10/5): - The pool , the size of the cabins and location
• Tash (10/5): - We loved the location of our cabin right across from the pools so it was handy with the kids. Lovely shade so we could spend all day on the deck. The kids were a little disappointed that the water slide wasn't in use but it didn't affect our fun too much.
• Stacey (10/5): Great fun for the family - Rooms were spacious. Pool was beautiful and inviting Nil
• Dan & Melissa (10/5): - - After hours check-in and check-out was a breeze - Kids enjoyed the pool - Clean, quiet, comfortable - The Deluxe Cabin fit our family of six very cosily - Splash pad play area was closed (for maintenance) - Pools could be a little cleaner
• Shay (7/5): - The only thing we didnt like was the shower didnt have a set temperature, it would go from freezing cold to boiling hot no inbetween
• Brook (10/5): -
• Emma (8/5): - Cabin was comfortable and good for families, kids etc.. Staff were very accommodating and allowed us to change dates twice which we really appreciated. Cabin was only average with cleaning. Splash park was closed, disappointing for kids. Location was a bit further away than we thought..
• Kristie (10/5): -
• Barrett (4/5): -
• Brown (10/5): -
• Kelley (8/5): -
• leslie (9/5): Comfy and clean - Location , activities, clean Road noise
• Renee (8/5): It met our needs. - It was a stop en route to Sunshine Coast. We were there for 8 hrs to sleep and gone - sorry - there not much more to say. Date of booking got confused and we had to leave a day later.
• Deb (10/5): fantastic - well booking.com had overbooked the park , i got a phone call 2hrs into driving to the park with my grandchildren, i didn’t know what to do so pulled over let the kids play in a playground and received a call from the park saying the manager of the park had a cabin booked so her own children could have a fun weekend. well she gave the cabin to us when she heard how beautiful was that. i will not use booking.com again they didn’t care but thx to the manager we had a great trip
• Janelle (10/5): -
• Jessica (5/5): -
• Brooke (7/5): -
• Maria (9/5): I would recommend this place to family and friends - Had everything we needed We had 2 small dogs and had lots of room to walk them and the cabins were a good size A screen door would be great
• Peter (7/5): - A couple of minor things could be addressed. This would raise my rating to a 9. Furniture, the furniture in my cabin was serviceable, however it could do with a replacement. Security door to the screened area was poorly aligned. This made it difficult to close, also a key for the door wouldn't go astray. Mould in the bathroom. Whilst not a major issue, it needs to be addressed. Shower curtain. This could use a decent clean. Floor in the main cabin could use a decent clean. It felt gritty under foot. Sound proofing. Unfortunately, the sound transfer from cabins around mine, and road noise, made sleeping difficult
• Errol (5/5): -
• Megan (7/5): - Road noise, lack of light at night
• Adefemi (6/5): -
• Catherine (9/5): Enjoyable and comfortable. - All good. N/A

• Keren (5/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Jahna (8/5): - Bed was amazing. Everything there close by for a family stay We had no power due to storm. Would have been good not to pay full price for our stay considering we couldn't get full value from our stay.
