The unit we stayed needed to do big maintenance starting from Bathroom and finishing windows (shower was leaking, it was hard to close windows) and couple of fans in the unit would be great as it was very hot and kids could not sleep at all. so was not quite enjoyable stay.

Nice grounds, amenities & operator. Was not clearly spelt out that there were NO towels or bed linen supplied. All in all a very 1970's experience No smoke detectors fitted in the cabin.

Supplied Beds but not Sheets!

I have never before stayed in accommodation where you are not supplied with towels OR SHEETS! Pillows check, Bedspread check, cutlery check. But seriously no where is it advised you have to supply these yourself! Absolute joke.

overpriced

pretty basic camping ground, ordered a cabin which was fine, however i felt the amenities, toilet and shower were pretty run down and could have been better for the price.. This was a $45-$50 room not $85...

Away from the crowds

Basic old fashioned (1960's) style campground. Clean enough and quiet. Cabins, tent sites and powered van and motorhome sites. Read the fine print on facilities and what is supplied.

The cabins were great value.

The cabins were great value, had a well equipped kitchen as well as the use of the great communal areas. The staff were very helpful.

Very disappointing end to our holiday

Upon check-in we discovered that linen for beds would be an additional cost. I explained to the staff that when you book a cabin with beds you would expect linen to be supplied, unless stated otherwise, and that their establishment did not state this on the booking website. It makes their price look cheaper compared to other establishments when it’s not really. The staff didn’t seem to care about this and weren’t willing to be accommodating to their error. The photos on the booking site also show the beds nicely made up – but they’re not, which is extremely misleading! There appeared to be only one shower and toilet for the entire establishment. The shower had extremely limited hot water (they were only short timed showers to begin with), and with multiple park users using the one shower, it ran out of hot water very quickly! Facilities were old. Set top box wasn't plugged in correctly. Cobwebs on ceiling haven't been dusted in a long time. Out of 17 accommodation places we stayed at during our 22 day holiday, this was the most disappointing!
