GOOD Based on 1010 reviews Posted on Krystyna Roman Great placePosted on Georgia Sheriston We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed in one of the luxury glamping tents and it was fantastic. Has everything you need - toilet, shower, air con, heater, dishwasher, fridge/freezer & BBQ. Was lovely and clean. Walking distance to a beautiful beach and lake and driving distance to Lennox head. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Emily Dixon The luxury tents are big enough for larger families which is uncommon advantage. It is a beautiful location. Walking distance to a quiet beach. We saw scrub wallabies and an echidna on our stay. The children loved the firepit and bike tracks. We felt safe and cozy inside even in the middle of winter. Only complaint is I found the bed too hard.Posted on Kat Arena Wow! The team fit our group in last minute , and were amazing! Site, location, nature, plenty for the kids. We will be backPosted on Chris bee Very well set up, Good service throughout and well maintained Would recommend.Posted on MrB Greig Great prices, great solo cabins, and a great, out of the way spot next to the beach! Has lots of cool amenities including coffee!Posted on Jacob and Emma We had a great stay at this caravan park and would definitely recommend it. Good location and perfect for a quick weekend away. The amenities were clean and well looked after, and the staff were all helpful and friendly. The cafe was also a big highlight, with great food, coffees and a really nice atmosphere. The pool and water park looked fantastic, and we can’t wait to come back again so we can make the most of them properly. Overall, it was an easy, enjoyable stay and we’re already looking forward to going back.Posted on Tanna Ivey we booked a family cabin and got upgraded to a 3 bedroom villa which was awesome. Great service and had so much fun. Highly recommendPosted on Camellia Yap Stayed here for the Sport Climbing Nationals Youth Championships and had a lovely time. Comfortable and well equipped accommodation, lovely and attentive staff, incredibly fun for kids in summer and waking up to the sound of birds is lovely. The beach is pristine and just a short walk away. We’d love to come back when it’s slightly warmer and less rain so we can relax at the pool and beach.
