Great place to stay however the pool was not heated and there was a lot of rainwater accumulated in the parking spot. Suggest installing better drainage.

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.

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.

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!

Neat park, laid out nicely, small pools and only the one slide. Putt putt was fun but pretty cramped. Lovely staff and jump mat were highlights. Lowlights were dust and lollies and wrappers under the pullout sofa and overpowering bleach smell throughout cabin. Proximity to mangroves mean that bug spray and mozzie coils are ESSENTIAL!

The hot water in the shower was broken, after alerting to staff to the problem the response was surprise but with no offer of getting it fixed or alternative. A cold shower on a cold winters morning was definitely not how I wanted to start my day

The cabins were nicely appointed. The chairs could be a bit more comfortable and possibly a smart TV to watch other stuff.
