Guest Reviews
- Brigitte (8/5): - Nice, clean, spacious cabin.
- Paul (8/5): - Right next to the ocean and not far from town. Family friendly. Pet friendly.
- George (8/5): - Short walk to the beach - sunrise and sunsets amazing
- Leigh (8/5): - Didn’t like the smell of the bore water and the lack of water pressure for showers.
- allan (2/5): - Cabin was not clean ..bed linen had stains .yuk
- Kerry (8/5): - Access to the beach was at the back of the park. Short 5 min drive into Portland. Owners were lovely, and their dog Jack. Very quiet given the amount of people there.
- Matthew (6/5): - We stayed at Holiday Lifestyle Henty Bay for 3 nights in one of their pet-friendly cabins, and unfortunately, our experience was not ideal. Upon checking in, we found that the cabin wasn’t very clean. I spoke to the manager about the issue, and he was quick to offer us a new cabin, which was appreciated. However, the new cabin wasn’t much better— it was small, outdated, and not particularly comfortable. The lack of sufficient cutlery made it a bit inconvenient for meal prep.
One of the biggest issues was the water in the park, which is bore water. The taste and smell were unpleasant, making it hard to use for anything other than basic needs, we were advised to not drink it, rain water is available in the tanks. The amenities at the park also left much to be desired; they weren't clean, and the shower gutters overflowed, which was off-putting.
On the positive side, the location of the park is fantastic, with easy access to a beautiful beach, which we really enjoyed. However, the overall management of the park could benefit from a bit more attention and care to improve the cleanliness and facilities.
While I would recommend it for the beach access, I personally wouldn't stay there again due to the lack of comfort and cleanliness.
- Manni (8/5): - Our cabin was right at the beach front and well maintained.
- Susan (8/5): - Lovely spot, quiet and private. Comfortable and clean, nice surroundings with helpful staff.
- Phillip (10/5): - It was great for us to stay because of safe place to leave boat while we were out. It was our forth time we have stayed
- Peter (8/5): - Great stay
- Amarlee (8/5): - It feels like it's in the middle of nowhere - yet it's only a few minutes drive from Portland. The grounds are tidy and spacious and the cabin we stayed in was clean and very comfortable. There were ants but nothing we couldn't deal with.
My only suggestion would be to put in some seating around the kid's jumping pillow for parents.
- Karan (2/5): - One of the most unhelpful experiences. There were possibilities to extend options by the reception staff to make our stay more comfortable but absolutely nothing was done. Wifi never worked and our room was nowhere near to be called a luxury accommodation. Nothing was done to make our stay better even when I myself suggested so many doable options, all that I met was ‘sorry it’s a long weekend, can’t do it’.
Staff needs to be trained to say ‘no’ in a more empathising way and show some keenness to help guests make the most out of their stay. Travelling is not cheap these days and these little human interactions matter a lot.
- Sean (6/5): - Air conditioning spat out ice cubes, no wifi access. Otherwise nice quiet little park.
- Tracy (10/5): Quiet and comfortable - Quick little get away that allowed dogs in the cabin. Cabin was clean and comfy and had everything we required.
- Pauline (10/5): - great place for a short break- lovely walks for the dogs
- Sonal (8/5): - The property is easy to find and the location is beautiful. We had a pet friendly cabin and was comfortable.
- Veronica (10/5): - Great view
- Candie (10/5): - Was lovely and clean. Very quiet and enjoyable. Definitely going back.
- John (8/5): - Very close to beach
Showers were poor
- Kylie (10/5): - Ingenia holiday park was a great place for me to stay in. It has a nice atmosphere and is a very friendly place to stay with family and friends. I will definitely be staying there again.

- Joseph De (10/5): - The staff were friendly and efficient. Cabin was comfortable and clean.
- Jason (10/5): - It was brilliant. Amazing location
- Garrie (10/5): - The hosts were wonderful and polite. A problem with the hot water at 930 at night was attended too quickly. It was only an overnight stay but were made to feel very welcome
- Daniel (10/5): - The cabin was clean and well maintained area around the property was maintained well I booked a cabin for extra night unannounced and they happily accommodated the request very easy to deal with
- Cheryl (10/5): - Clean and excellent property condition. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Highly recommended.
- Simon (10/5): - Beautiful place to stay just out of Portland
- lisa (2/5): - We were disappointed with the villa we had it was not very clean, cutlery all dirty. The toilet kept getting blocked and there was a terrible odour throughout the place. The toilet roll holder kept falling off the wall. Curtains were filthy. I had a bug crawl into my ear while sleeping and not happy about a visit to hospital. Very dissatisfied for the amount of money paid to stay here. Also the villa I thought I had booked from wotif did not look like the one we got. Disappointing.

- Manuel (10/5): - Great access for boats and great location
- Linda (10/5): - We loved being able to walk out from the cabin and fish until our heart's content! It's also a stone's throw from a lot of great beaches.
- Ken (4/5): - Great location clean grounds unit needs upgrade. Showerfittings old look terrible not clean. Mould on window sill. Vents look like never clean. Flat batteries in heater remote.
Great place but the cabin let it down.
- Timothy (8/5): - Nice and quiet
- Nelle (10/5): - A very clean and comfortable cabin, only a short walk to the ocean. Absolutely lovely with very friendly and helpful staff.

- Citellus (10/5): - Beautiful lovely peaceful beachfront cabin. Our cabin is overlooking the beautiful ocean. All ticks good.
- John (10/5): - My family and my sisters' family stayed in two cabins here and found everything we could have hoped for in this style of property. The staff were friendly and obliging, the cabins clean and well-equipped and the location both on the beach and a minute or two from the middle of Portland was ideal.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - booked a $200 room via Wotif as I had searched Pet Friendly
I was advised the cabin I had paid for was not pet friendly and was put in another cabin, the cabin was far from a $200 per night room, I asked the lady in the morning about compensating me the difference and she said that I had stayed in the $200 per night room which I had not looking at the pics on Wotif.
on principle I will not stay ay this location again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved how modern and clean the park and cabin was. The price is fantastic however you need to test your appliances each day because the fireplace didn’t work which was a shame. On the website it should state in winter there is no food
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Curtains had not been dusted or washed for years. The cabin needs upgrading. Very tired looking
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice neat caravan park, great for kids and excellent view from cabin over the water
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Well set out, very good amenities in a quiet beach location.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - beautiful place to stay, kid friendly.
Staff was wonderful, kind and welcoming.
Overall we where so disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of our cabin, there was bird poo all over the curtains and windowsill in the second bedroom, and a dead bird just flicked over into the corner of the top bunks.
Bottom bunks where all dirty, which a simple vacuum would have done the job, cob webs everywhere, shower wasn't cleaned either.
Such a shame, no one should have to stay in a condition like that and wouldn't have paid a cent. Not happy at all.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - everything was great for the price. location was perfect
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The cabin is very convenient to everything.
Love the place.
- Claire (10/5): - Kids playground, cabins were modern and well equipped. Bed comfortable. Not enough pillows checked for spare one in cupboards. Would definitely stay again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We love Henty Bay! The views, the community feeling, everyone is so friendly, the delux cabins are so good, everything you need! We love it so much and cannot wait to get back! Sandra is so welcoming, and easy to talk to! It is our new family vacation spot!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location clean and tidy cabins close to beach short drive shops
- Verified traveler (10/5): - happy about the location to the ocean and Portland, the owners very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great views beautiful spot to stay directly on the beach just lovely
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We stayed in one of the luxury cabins, it was literally heaven on earth, Sandra was so lovely and made our stay perfect!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The property was right on the beach. Views were spectacular.
- Angry (2/5): - Extremely Disappointed !! Location was perfect. cabin lounge was disgusting, I've seen better free on the side of the road, table was that worn it was completely sticky, chairs were rickety and stained , tea towel stunk that bad, I wasn't brave enough to use towels. I had a spider in my bed, no surprise cabin had spider webs in every corner. extremely disappointed and charged $196 a night. needs total upgrading and cleaning, sorry wouldn't recommend or stay again !
- abby (8/5): - 2nd time we stayed in this place its by the beach and relaxing though some of the appliances in the cabin needs upgrading we are still very happy with our stay at the place
