Amber from Australia (March 27, 2025)
Loved the room. It was perfect for a young family needing space. The splash pad was a hit with the kids and those who are young at heart.
Mirou from Australia (March 24, 2025)
On arrival, we got upgraded to a 2 bedroom cabin. The cabins air conditioning was already on and the room was nice and cool. Location,location, lime 5minutes to the shopping centre, cold Rock across the road and maccas and KFC up the road. My kids loved the water park. The beds were soo comfortable, had a great sleep. What could be improved:...
Rebecca from Australia (March 21, 2025)
Great location. Awesome to have access to the water park for the kids.
What could be improved: We had a cabin with a kitchen but there weren’t really any cooking utensils to use (eg. no fry pan, no tongs etc) which made it hard to use the facilities. The iron didn’t work and short circuited the power. The top bunks were nearly impossible to make
Wade from Australia (March 20, 2025)
