Just an overnight stay. Very organised regarding a late check in and early check out. Cabin was lovely and clean and park was nice. Only got to have a short little walk around and looked like the kids would love that pool.

The staff here were friendly and kind. They gave us a complimentary room upgrade and even some free Squidjigs and rods to enjoy. We caught two fish making our stay here memorable. Great amenities, refreshing pools, splash play area, and kart hire were fantastic. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Admin ladies were very wonderful to speak in upon check-in. Cabin exterior wasn’t suitable for small children as there was no barrier around balcony and no safety railing for stairs. Other than that, we would stay again, as cabin was clean and tidy.

A great location. We booked a one bed with bunk beds in the front. Only the main room bed was made up, we had to do the bunk beds. The floor tiles had large cracks in them w due here. There was quite a bit if dirt under the beds. The cabin seemed shift/lean when we moved to one side.
