Pros +
- Everything at the campground was excellent. Would certainly stay there again.
- The location was convenient, you could walk to town .
- The room was well-equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We also loved the common area—it was well-supplied with great amenities, including an air hockey table! A special thanks to Sam at the front desk, who was incredibly kind and helpful.
Cons -
- The foam mattresses on the bunk beds are past there use-by date compressed down to nothing, possibly ok for children certainly not adults.
- We stayed in a cabin. It was clean, however we had almost no internet (Basic tv)The place was old, small, and smelled of damp. The cabin got hot in the day and cold at night. The fan did not work or the bedside lamp.The bunk bed springs sagged. Our stay was unpleasant, and for what we paid. we could have had much better accommodation.
- The stay was unfortunately impacted by unreliable Wi-Fi and consistent noise from the neighbors, including loud music and shouting. I would strongly suggest implementing a 'quiet hours' policy or a courtesy notice to ensure a more respectful environment for all guests

Great location, easy walking to shops and the beach. Camp was tidy, rooms were comfortable and well equipped.
Location
Dated Shower with noisy dripping tap.
The room was well supplied, clean and comfortable.
The shower pressure was terrible, for me with long hair, it was impossible to wash it.
The ease of checkin and the fact my unit had air conditioning
Christmas beetles from the Eucalyptus tree
Location was great to do activities around,, you can walk to the shops, location is awesome
Bunk beds in our room were falling apart, mattress very old and uncomfortable plus the brown sheets freeked me out, I always prefer white so I can have confidence its clean. The hot plate in our room wasnt working. The outdoor BBQ was gross we couldnt use it. The booking said heated pools but it wasnt the case, and when we asked they just said sorry the pool is not heated. Our kids were very dissapointed as we chose the place for that reason.
Great location and a nice touch that they had the tides and shovels there for hot water beach.
It got a little warm in the cabin overnight, extra fans would have helped.
I found everything I needed. The bed, blankets, kitchen, everything as I expected.
The only thing that bothered me (though it wasn’t a big problem because they offered a heater) it was the extremely coldness inside the house. But the heater is so good that you can get the rooms warm pretty fast.
That i could reka while my children were playing right out side with new friend.
Everything
We all had the best time here. The holiday park was great tidy, clean, great for kids and friendly people will definitely be staying here again
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The amenities available for us to use in the common area were very clean and nice. The beds and pillows were comfortable enough. Close proximity to town.
The unit we had was old and dated. We were unable to cook 2 things on the twin plate cooker without the electricity tripping out. The double bed was hard up against the wall in a very small room making it difficult for one of us to get up during the night. This meant that I slept in the bottom bunk bed instead. The couch was so badly stained, I refused to sit on it. It needs to have a cover on it.
Cabin needs a bit of TLC
Main bed was uncomfortable, old mattress. Toilet not bolted securely to floor. Grass and clippings in cart composting outside bathroom window.
We stayed for the fishing comp and I never booked a boat park but it wasn’t a problem, the lady on the desk sussed us out a park close to the cabin and put us right next to the boat washing station and the filleting bench which was super handy . The park is nice and close to town , only a 5-10 minute walk to the wharf and waterfront which we liked. Cabin had everything we needed to cook and store our food. We did get an upgrade to a cabin with a bathroom which I would recommend.
Everything was good .
?Swimming pool, parking. Camp kitchen.?Uncomfortable bed, dirty stained sofa, shabby interior with wood rot, and not very clean.
Room was big enough for me and my daughter to stay and enjoy our visit to the area. We were able to borrow spades from the camp when we went to dig in the sand at hot water beach. They also advertised the low tide times for that which was important and helpful
The Wifi was terrible, could only connect a few times during the whole stay, and when using my phone it switched to using my data without me realising and so sucked up all my data allowance for the month. Maybe that was my fault, but if a property has bad wifi they should alert the customers to that.Grass parking, so when it rained heavy there was water around the car.
Great location, quiet.
The bunk beds
It was located within walking distance of the harbour and town. But the town is pretty small anyway!
Horrible, dirty, shabby and really poor value. Everything looked really dirty. Chipped cups. Filthy stained carpet and bed. Sofa was grim and too big for the room. The mirror was in a really stupid place too! I had to kneel on the sofa. All of the furniture, carpets and curtains need to go to the dump and the place refurbished. No towels provided and outside bathroom so for the price I paid I was really disappointed. If I’d had enough money I’d have stayed elsewhere.
Location was great, facilities awesome. Lady at desk was lovely. Staff pleasant.
Our bed was extremely uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. Leg broke v
