Christopher from Australia (November 4, 2024)
This is more like a retirement Village full of small homes. It is not full of caravan park cabins. It would definitely suit long term stays not just overnights that we did. Having a full kitchen and sitting room was great. What could be improved: It was a very windy night. The stove exhaust fan flap outside would slap shut randomly. When you don't...

Stephen from Australia (January 31, 2025)
Pet friendly. Check in and out was speedy. Staff were friendly. The cabin was spacious & clean, bed rooms were large, bathroom is good, beds were big & comfortable, AC worked great and TV was adequate. Kitchen was reasonably equipped and parking is right in front of the cabin. There's a pub and hotel next door. Good place for a base to visit the...
Tina from Australia (January 10, 2025)
Very welcoming staff and very clean.
Amanda from Australia (January 2, 2025)
The cabin was very spacious and clean. The block out fixtures were a great touch. The cabin was was stocked with cutlery, crockery, fridge and the lounge suit was comfortable. The communal laundry was a great help to us as travellers.
What could be improved: The location. On the main road. The park could do with a pool or something inviting.

Julie from Australia (October 14, 2024)
2 bedroom cabins are spacious and very comfortable with everything you need supplied. Pub next door has good meals if you don't want to cook.
Marjolijn from Australia (October 11, 2024)
Very clean, well appointed cabin. Have stayed here before and already booked for next stay. Easy walk to motel restaurant next door. What could be improved: The studio unit is attached to another unit at the rear wall. Not sound proof. Neighbour had very heavy feet and wooden floor makes it sounds like a herd of elephants. Thankfully they turned...
Sean from Australia (September 12, 2024)
Was nicely set out
What could be improved: One of the chairs at the dining table nearly fell apart when I sat on it
