the unit was lovely and well equipped… the kids water park was fantastic, the overall environment is just beautiful with lovely trees, flowers and exotic foliage… really a stunning and very intimate holiday park that we enjoyed for just one day on our way through to Byron Bay. we would have loved to stay longer.

What could be improved: hmmmm I don’t think there was anything I didn’t like. Booking.com was glitchy when I made the reservation and we ended up having two villas booked! as we arrived after hours, this was stressful for us without knowing whether they would refund us, as I couldn’t get anyone on the phone. good news was that in the morning the staff were lovely and efficiently refunded with no questions, being able to see the error was obvious.

My cabin was roomy, well appointed and comfortable. The Park is located close to the walking trails of Trial Bay Gaol and Arakoon National Park. It's an easy walk, of about 1 kilometre, on paths and quiet t roads, to Little Bay picnic area and the beach.

What could be improved: Everything was fine.

Excellent location, friendly staff, well designed layout and a variety of activities for our friend’s children.

What could be improved: The beds in our cabin lacked support, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Both the queen and double beds were too soft, causing us to wake up multiple times. Surprisingly, the single bunk was more comfortable and I had a day sleep on it. Other families in our group shared the same experience.
