GOOD Based on 967 reviews Posted on Jamie Mitchell Awesome place to stay with our family and friends! Great range of standard camping amenities through to luxury cabins and glamping options. The team kindly upgraded our cabin and offered an early check-in, and the staff bent over backwards for us. Will be back! Thank you!Posted on j o Fabulous place for all the family especially the children which normally makes me stay away from however I was given a site away from the children and was lovely, private and quiet as well. They have thought of everything and even though it all appears to be relatively new the camp kitchen, cafe and other amenities were just magic and so extensive. Hopefully it will stay that way and I will be back as often as possiblePosted on Patricia Zammit What a beautiful resort! We have stayed here twice as an overnight stop from QLD to VIC and it does not disappoint. The range of accommodation options is stand out and the fact that some are pet friendly. We have done the glamping tent and the cabin. The glamping tent was absolutely beautiful. The waterpark was loved by my 6 year old who got to have a dip in the morning before we continued our road trip. We have planned to stay there longer next trip because of how beautiful it was.Posted on Patrycja Szczęsna Most beautiful camping side I’ve been! Beach next to it was amazing! Kitchen and bbq area on camp site was great! Can’t ask for more.Posted on Rhi Whelan We had an awesome midweek stay in a glamping tent. Extremely spacious and comfortable with a little kitchenette! The main camp kitchen was huge, well equipped like a home kitchen, and very clean. The bathroom/laundry blocks similarly well kept. The pool area was so enjoyable that we extended our stay an extra night within an hour of arriving. Great relaxing area.Posted on Melissa McMoore We stayed in a luxury cabin, the location and scenery is absolutely stunning and although we had rain our entire stay, we all agreed we would love to return and experience it in beautiful weather. A fantastic spot to unplug, and relax. Great facilities, my son loved the pool and waterslides. We didn't get to experience the carts this time but hope to on future stays. The camp fires located around the camp grounds really added to the camping feel and our children were devastated to have not been able to cook marshmallows on one due to the rain. We had a slight mishap with a bunkbed, this was dealt with promptly and was not issue at all. Would not hesitate to recommend staying here.Posted on Phil Horner What a great place to stay ! If you have never tried Glamping - this is the place - awesome people, fantastic location, peaceful and relaxing. Coastline / beach very close by and amazing !Posted on David Thorn Quite a few people come here. From the surrounding local districts. Including Ballina. They have quite a big camping ground at the back. With some sites having water and power. And some more secluded sites right up the end. Which also would be quite a bit of a walk to the amenities and camp kitchen. They do have some bitumen roads. For kids to use their roller blades. I didn’t spot any children on e-bikes, not to say, there wasn’t any. I get very annoyed, when park rules state walking pace only. And the odd car is doing more than that. Or like this morning 8/3/26 at 7-40. The staff golf buggy was speeding. On the bitumen road between the cabins. Please remind your staff, of the speed limit. And children’s safety is paramount. It’s a bit cooler this morning. With out the humidity.Posted on Suzanne Grissell Peaceful and remote but with everything you need - aircon worked wonderdully. A walk in the beach with no other humans at sunset made the evening special.
