Guest Reviews

Katie (10/5): - Our sons loved that we could walk straight across the road to a play ground on the beach front and that we could walk the strand and still be close to our room. There was also a play area in the park as well a short 5/10meter walk from our room. Also a pool but with the weather on and off raining and windy we did not get the chance to enjoy. Also love how we didn’t have to travel to get water, the office has a cute little mini pantry you could buy anything you were looking for etc water bottles, ice cream, popcorn, chips, toothpicks. Beds weren’t very comfortable, definitely not for our son who had surgery while we were in Townsville. Maybe a mattress topper would help. There were tiny tiny ants in our room but they were not harmful and didn’t worry us.
Lilyrose (6/5): Was very nice Lovley room and view but would not stay again - It was clean big space comfy beds good amenities The shower didn't have a door and flooded the bathroom and there was a suprise 300 dollar security deposit which was told in my emails or on the website
Shana (3/5): -
Sin yuan (10/5): -
Anita (3/5): Don’t think we will stay here again - Started badly, cabin not very clean, shower would not drain, staff not very helpful. Advised months ago when booking we were towing a trailer but put in a cabin that hardly had a room for a standard size car. Shower did get fixed after having to go to office a few times first. Used our own cooking pans and utensils as nothing was clean. Bed was really hard. Stayed last year in a standard cabin with same cleaning issues booked a villa hoping for better this year. Only good thing about this park is location , won’t be staying again Cleanliness, staff demeanour, parking, main bed very hard/cheap
Geoffrey (10/5): Beyond brilliant - Everything
Bo (10/5): Amazing holiday destination - Awesome location and staff team members were professional, kind and helpfull.

Julianne (10/5): Would love to stay again here sometime - Close to Marina and amenities. We enjoyed the view and felt very comfortable. Great styling of furniture in the apartment, thanks for the clean feel.
Dobson (8/5): - The location We stayed for 7 nights and received fresh towels after night 4, the sheets and cabin weren't freshened up at all during our stay.
Codie (5/5): - Clean, good location Our 2nd visit in a row with problems in the room. Glass door did not lock, and shower faucet leaked so loudly we could hear it through the night. Will be finding other options for accommodation in the future
Candice (10/5): - We've stayed here a few times now, the location and ease of parking are very convenient. Staff were most helpful after driving 14hrs.
Tegan (1/5): - close to beach still waiting for tax invoice to be emailed
Valerie (7/5): -
McKeown (3/5): - The rooms where good grrat location However I found one of the staff to be extremely rude and unhelpful
Michelle (8/5): - Easy
Janelle (10/5): Happy kids happy mum - Close to the beach Nothing
Lani (10/5): -
Sharon (10/5): Great location - Check in was very easy. Cabins were of a high standard for cleanliness and amenities. Across the road to the park and walking path
Bradley (10/5): Great little overnight get away for my daughter - Nice clean facilities. Friendly reception. Comfortable cabin Nothing.
JIJITH (10/5): - Beautiful property The way staff speaks.Not friendly
Anthony (10/5): It was wonderful to stay at a place so close to the water with all the right inclusions inside the facilities - Great space and an incredible location
Laurel (5/5): Having stayed there just 4 days prior, we were really looking forward to our next mini break. The main living area of th - Location is perfect. Dirty bedroom and non functioning air conditioner.
Tsedalu (8/5): -
Courtney (8/5): - The staff were so friendly and helpful. They couldn't do enough to help us out and make our stay comfortable.
Brenda (2/5): I definitely don’t recommend staying here. The location is great but that’s where it ends. - The location The cabins were not clean at all. We had a dirty sock from the previous tenants still on the floor under the table. Our shower wouldn’t drain which made it overflow all through the bathroom. The response we got was “the previous people didn’t report any issues “. Said they got maintenance to fix but it still overflowed every time we had a shower. Asked to speak to the manager on a few occasions but conveniently she was “in a meeting “ every time.
Emma (6/5): Disappointing - The view, the beautiful trees and the camp kitchen. The cabin was tiny, the bunk beds were too small for our kids (our 11yo daughter couldn’t lay straight without her head & feet touching each wall), we weren’t aware they weren’t single sized bunks, towels weren’t changed till day 7 so had to wash our own, drain slow to drain so needed super fast shower to prevent overflowing, charged for our stay twice before arriving (when I rang to advise of this error was told it was just bank charges), no return phone call to apologise, three day for refund to come through, staff not at all friendly and welcoming like we are used to at these types of holiday parks, overall a very disappointing stay.

Darlene (9/5): -
Laurel (8/5): Perfect mini break, looking forward to the next one. - Great location Few pop holes in the roads
Igor (10/5): Nice location - We stayed in a cabin for a night. It is conveniently located close to Strand and the bikeways alone the sea. All was good.
Kohi (10/5): -
Glenys (7/5): -
Hinemoah (8/5): -
kyle (10/5): Beautiful - Great sized rooms, very clean was quite happy I stay here every 3rd week on my way to work and I’m always happy with how the rooms are presented with professional cleanliness. Rooms are big and beautiful
Sharni (9/5): -
Jorja (5/5): Was disappointed with the price I paid I expected better and newer quality. - The unit was clean. The aircon was great. The bunk beds were not full size only for small children. The mattress on the bunk bed was only thin foam and needs to be replaced. My cabin door was hard to lock, the screen door didn’t lock with the key.
Codie (7/5): - Clean and tidy. Helpful staff. It was not the cabin we had initially booked due to air conditioner fault. The new cabin had been recently painted and still had a very strong smell. We had to sleep with windows open, and leave open during the day.
Sally (9/5): Overall it was nice - The location The cleanness and noisy aircon
Lainie (6/5): The cleaning staff should maybe have a checklist to follow when cleaning so nothing is missed and management should do r - We could sit on the deck and watch the ocean, birds etc. it was lovely they had the A/C on for our arrival. The unit wasn’t overly clean. I think the floors had been forgotten. They were sticky, had dirty marks and sand. There were ants in the toilet, bathroom and living area. Whilst there weren’t a lot, still, they were there. I did advise staff of this. The bed wasn’t the best, it felt like a piece of cut to shape foam, that’s just my opinion, but, the pillows were so old that they were just flat with a few cotton balls in eg: I normally sleep on a low profile pillow and at Big 4 had to sleep on 4.
Katie (2/5): Great location, disappointing experience - Location and stay was pleasant The staff were lovely and location was great. The Villa was not cleaned properly- I had a bad reaction to dust mites. The shower flooded bathroom badly. We ran through so many towels as we had to use them to stop the water running into the bathroom area. Half of the tv and air conditioner remotes worked- batteries needed replacing. Very bad ant problem- we had to eat out due to the fact as soon as we put any form of food on the bench the ants would gather QUICKLY. The sprinkler system was on constantly and seemed to have never ending water running down the dirt road ways. We are staying at another accomodation while in Townsville due to the fact we couldn’t book the villa for more than 2 nights due to availability. We are staying at a place in the city which is cleaner and has much better facilities for 1/3 of the price of the big 4. Great view and location but definitely not worth the amount we paid.
Lijo (1/5): Poor facilities - Pool and kids play area are ok Even it was delux cabins, they were too small, No cleanliness at all, found many insects inside rooms, lines were full of dust, Kitchen utensils were poor condition ,most of them broken, kettle was in poor condition like full of rust, No fan or aircon in kids room, There was no oven facilities in all 4 delux cabin kitchens ,
Kamile (10/5): - Location, staff were very helpful and friendly, comfortable rooms
Sophie (8/5): Convenient, kid friendly, parking could be better - Good location and facilities Parking was a bit poor

Ronnelle (10/5): We enjoy staying here for comfort and convenience- always very tidy and reasonably priced. - We have stayed here many of times. It’s convenient and accommodates our large family of 6. Kids love the pool and mum and dad enjoy a nice coffee from the food van across the road most mornings. Can’t stay in the cabins with our small dog.
Claire (9/5): I was expecting less due to the price but left very impressed. Staff were excellent, accomodation had everything we need - Very clean, had everything we needed. Nothing!

Lacey (8/5): Comfortable stay - Clean and tidy, great location
Adam (8/5): We would stay again - Liked the location The bathrooms seemed to be done up but there was so much mould around it in the grout and in the ceiling fan feel like it hadn’t been deep cleaned in a while. Also not enough or warm enough blankets a thin blanket was provided and the sheet from the bed

Kara (6/5): -
Tahnee (10/5): -
Chloe (7/5): -
Jeff (10/5): - Clean
Sarah (5/5): Disappointing. - The location was good. The children's park, tennis court and pool were all good. The cabin was awful. Really dated and run down. We couldn't even lock our sliding door because it was broken. Only the fly/security screen was lockable. Trim missing on parts of the walls, cracks and grime in tiles, curtains stained and dirty, cutlery tray had bits in it. Windowsills dirty with hair on. Peeling paint. There's a real issue with condensation and damp so when we checked in the air-conditioning was on really cold which we realised was the only way to keep the cabin dry. A couple of the lights weren't working. Just a real lack of care and maintenance. We all had the 'ick' from the cabin and were glad we only booked for two nights. Went to sweep some of the mud up from our shoes and the broom had some clumps of hair and dirt from other guests. Really not nice. It's a shame because we've got to come back to Townsville in a few weeks but won't be staying again.

Crystal (8/5): - We loved the villa and the view. Staff were friendly. I thought the villa we stayed in come with a bbq but it didnt. I thought it was dissapointing that for a week stay there was only 2 toilet rolls provided and no new towels supplied during the week. The wifi wasnt the greatest in the villa. .
