Beautiful, peaceful, quiet property in amongst nature on the edge of a picturesque creek. Easy drive to Stanley & loved our very rustic cabin, very well equipped in kitchen, laundry. Absolutely loved it.

Friendly and helpful staff that was full of excellent recommendations of services around the area. The property is stunning and makes for a great way to start the day walking around the grounds.

What could be improved: The sign to turn in from the highway was right where you need to turn, it might be helpful to be a little before the actual turn off. Though I do understand that some councils don't allow private signals along the roads.

What could be improved: TV only only able to tune to very limited channels. It would have been nice to have glad wrap and Al foil supplied.

It’s like taking a holiday when you’re a kid. Rustic and free of too many modern interventions. Camp kitchen is great filled with couches and a beautiful wood heater. Our children thought it was great to be able to wander around and explore. The cabins are a little dated, but if it’s somewhere to lay your head after travelling around the sites, it does the job more than fine.
We would be happy to stay again with our family.

What could be improved: Nothing really

Loved the location and the quirky set up.

What could be improved: The cabin was somewhat tired and cramped even for one person.
The cabin could do with a better couch and less beds.

Laid back; quiet; lovely bush surrounds & the creek itself was delightful - sandy & NO mud!

What could be improved: The park needs a few $ spent on it .

This park is set in a beautiful location it has very quirky retro cabins and is a great place to switch off as you won't get reception or wifi here but that won't matter with the beautiful creek's , bush walks and beaches at your finger tips. The hosts were lovely and helpful and this is a great place to stay if you want to show your kids what a true blue caravan park from your childhood was like.

What could be improved: A map would have been helpful in the Maze of cabins on our first day but we quickly found our bearings.
