Location, beautiful setting, lots of bird life , water views, clean. Nice pool. Cabin was clean and air conditioned. Every thing worked. Sheets and towels clean. Staff friendly.

What could be improved: Noise from ice cream van engine running outside my cabin while I was trying to sleep during the middle of the day

Beautiful location beside Lemon Tree Passage. Simple cabin with everything you need.

What could be improved: Kids were sad that the bouncy pillow only opens at 9am because we had to leave early, but maybe next time :)

Facilities were great, tennis court, table tennis and the pool is fantastic! We were so lucky getting a pool side cabin, directly across from the pool and it's great value for money, with spa included in our room.

Facilities were great, tennis court, table tennis and the pool is fantastic! We were so lucky getting a pool side cabin, directly across from the pool and it's great value for money, with spa included in our room.

What could be improved: The shower head could use an upgrade if I'm being picky. There were some very loud obnoxious guests nearby and taking over the pool until late at night but the staff were lovely dealing with it and addressing the concerns the next day

Great place to stay. Beautiful scenery with the river frontage and all the walking tracks. The park amenities are top notch and all clean. Booking was easy and staff were very friendly.

Peter from Australia (January 23, 2025)

9/10

Location was fantastic and the amenities were great.

What could be improved: Cabin could have been a bit cleaner, dust and dirt on area o top of shower cubicle. Some of the cupboards in the kitchen were a bit tired and needed repair. Busted tiles in bathroom and trim needs replacing or repainting.

Julian from Australia (January 21, 2025)

The amount of space there was for the kids to play and the pool.

What could be improved: The speed bumps on the driveway meant the kids found it very hard to use their scooters

What could be improved: * Cabin was very good however the promised spa we paid for was not working.
* Facilities were good (Pool and table tennis).
* Service was fair to poor.

- one day didn’t even get acknowledged when I walked in the door to put the ping pong gear back
- info re coffee van would have been useful
- apparently coffee van info was sms’d? Never received

Great, clean and well equipped cabins. Pool was great for the kids and the option to hire go karts as well as the school holiday activities were great also.

What could be improved: Some of the facilities around the site such as the tennis court looked ready to be refurbished
