Plenty of activities for the kids, the daughters loved the water park!

What could be improved: Bunk bed could use some WD40 to stop the creaking but not a deal breaker

Given a map at check in,Very clear signage and easily accessible via walking around the park. Felt safe walking round the park. Super happy and polite staff. Great camping amenities like kitchen, and bbq area. We loved the pool and water park. Not too far out of town to be an inconvenient but far enough out it’s peaceful What could be improved:...

Not too far out of town to be an inconvenient but far enough out it’s peaceful

What could be improved: Our aircon was a little dodgy sometimes just cut off, but not a major issue. I’m sure if we stayed longer we’d have had someone come and check it out.

I loved the Cabin we stayed in, so family friendly and big. Self contained was soo good, especially with kids. Parking space was great. The cabin was cool on arrival which was a bonus😊. The kids loved the water park. Cabins have enough space at the back to park your boat and even a hose. Location was so close to Airlie and Shute Harbour. We got free wifi during our stay, which was good for the kids.We have already booked our next holiday.

Bed was very comfortable

Park was easily accessible by bus for those without a car

What could be improved: Not the parks fault but the water was completely off on our final day which wasn’t ideal at all.

Lots of flies near the bbq area mainly coming from the general bin right next to the area - not nice when preparing a meal.

Great water park for children. It was very clean with a wonderful cabin well stocked. AC in all rooms. Washer, dryer with great cleaning supplies and soaps. Very large fridge and great stove and oven. Changed cabins for us for close location for children also as parking was difficult up a steep slope at first cabin. Very accommodating staff.

What could be improved: The wheelchair access bathroom had no shower curtains, a small sink with no vanity or shelves. Difficulty parking up very steep slope without a 4 wheel high vehicle. Lots of midges so bring mozzie coils and bug spray.
