Beautiful newly appointed cabin that suited our large family well.

What could be improved: Some furniture made spaces a bit tight.

My daughter badly broke 2 bones in her arm on monkey bars, not necessarily a fault of the park but bark under bars could use a rake.

Everything is good, room very clean. All the staff we met were super friendly. I slept very well that night

What could be improved: Kitchen can have a bit more plates and bowls I think

Nice and very tidy campsite! Our „apartment“ contained all necessities and everything on the campsite was easy to reach. Minor issues were solved immediately to our full satisfaction. We felt very welcome. Thank you!

The space was very comfortable and clean it was good meeting other residence there. The staff were very accommodating and fixed the air conditioning promptly

What could be improved: a little noisy ...but considering it was a family orientated accommodation it was acceptable and all was quiet by 9.30pm

Layah from Australia (November 26, 2024)

8/10

Pleasant location with good facilities that exceeded expectations.

What could be improved: There weren't any forks in the communal kitchen! Some labelling on the outdoor BBQ area was misleading about what was available in drawers.

Marianne from Australia (September 2, 2024)

8/10

The beds were super comfortable and warm, plenty of cupboard space, good heating. The place is beautifully landscaped, and kitchen facilities excellent.

What could be improved: It was stormy and hard to get to the toilet in the middle of the night, especially because there was no lighting above the granite steps from our cabin to the toilet block.

Kirrily from Australia (July 17, 2024)

7/10

It was close to the township and easy to find on the main road as well as the facilities were clean and had everything there I needed
