Loved the comfort of the safari tent. Great bathroom. The adults only area & pool was excellent.

Amanda from Australia (February 24, 2025)

Beautifully presented glamping tents in private area away from rest of the park. Kid free pool for clamping tents.

What could be improved: Shame about other noisy guests who visited as a group. Took away from the peaceful atmosphere of the glamping area.

The splash park and pool were amazing for the kids

What could be improved: We had a aircon in cabin but no fan in kids room and it was a very hot weekend. Furniture needs upgrading.

Nice setup and location. Well priced

What could be improved: The sounds travel into room from other neighbours a little too much. The speed bumps and dips were too excessive to the point of being damaging to your car no matter how slow you take them

Staff helpful and friendly and kids always loved the bouncy pillow, pool and splash park. Facilities were clean, Bbq are great easy dinners. Main bed was so comfy, soft. We came at a great time as there was a fundraising event on ..with coffee, breakfast and pizza vans onsite, raffles and live music. Park definitely came alive, and the social vibe...

Staff helpful and friendly and kids always loved the bouncy pillow, pool and splash park. Facilities were clean, Bbq are great easy dinners. Main bed was so comfy, soft. We came at a great time as there was a fundraising event on ..with coffee, breakfast and pizza vans onsite, raffles and live music. Park definitely came alive, and the social vibe and atmosphere was lovely.

What could be improved: Cost for our room rate per night was a bit pricey for the economy one bedroom cabin with own bathroom (booked a couple of months in advance)...especially as they offered last minute rate same price per night for a deluxe 2 bedroom cabin. Few ants always come into cabin before and during our stay. Besides that, overall stay was good and a good catchup as a short break family holiday destination, 2 years in a row now.

the room was comfy for what we needed. Beds were comfortable, the cabin was clean and had everything we needed. the kids loved the activities especially the pool and water park. I loved the idea of coffee from the van in the mornings What could be improved: The only annoyance that I found was the sliding doors in our cabin didn't slide properly...

What could be improved: The only annoyance that I found was the sliding doors in our cabin didn't slide properly. The door to the main bedroom kept coming off the top where it hung,

Before our stay when I tried to ring the park it would always go to voicemail. No-one ever picked up. It's also the reason I finished up booking through an agency. Would much more preferred to book direct.

Very clean and lots for kids to do

What could be improved: Nothing

Matthew from Australia (September 16, 2024)

Easy to access all the fun close to heaps of cool stuff

What could be improved: Walking to the toilet in the cold
