My cabin was comfortable, well furnished and had a good sized kitchen with a large fridge and full size stove. It was a good base for exploring the area around Iluka including Bundjalung National Park.

What could be improved: Everything was fine.

Neat and very clean. Ceiling fans and air-conditioning very handy for the hot humid weather. Appreciated having a fridge with a freezer section. Well equiped for making our breakfasts. (We did not make any other meals as we were eating out with friends but it had a full stove with cooktop, griller and oven.)

Balcony was a great bonus with table and chairs, fishing was just a few steps over the road and the pool/playground kept the kid happy!

What could be improved: Be aware that if needing to work or have continuous access to the internet it's very patchy along with the phone reception BUT it gives you a great excuse to switch off!

Great location. Haven't been for years and whilst there have been a lot of changes none are to the detriment of the Iluka.

Nice little caravan park on the river just out of town. Has a hot tub by the pool. The cabin we had was clean and comfortable with everything you need

What could be improved: Nothing to dislike

Coggan from Australia (April 6, 2024)

Pleasant cabin with ample amenities including full oven,microwave and toaster kettle, etc, comfortable bed and plenty towels. The spa pool was nice and warm! BBQs clean.

What could be improved: Not enough body wash shampoo and soap for a 2 night stop. Pool looked lovely but was so shallow you really couldn't swim

The verandah area for the dog and carport. Good location, easy to get to town and yamba and other surrounding areas. Very relaxing and pretty area. Friendly staff. What could be...

That you can have dogs stay in the cabin. The space in the koala cabin. The cleanliness, the price, it has everything we needed to cook. The bed was big and comfy. The verandah area for the dog and carport. Good location, easy to get to town and yamba and other surrounding areas. Very relaxing and pretty area. Friendly staff.

What could be improved: Couldn't get many TV channels bad reception. The bathroom was a bit small. Since the cabin was right near the front entrance we had people walking past constantly talking and with checkout in the mornings people checked out really early and made lots of noise with their cars and talking and woke us up.
