6/10 Good

Wouldn't return
The booking stated free wifi however from our unit we could even detect the wifi let alone join it. As I had work to complete this meant driving into town each day which defeated the purpose of staying there. When I queried this with reception they agreed the wifi was terrible and that it may work at night (it didn't). As we were situated directly next to the cafe and their signal was strong I asked if we could join their network however this was declined. The unit we were staying in was also very noisy. We could hear the people upstairs come and go, We could hear their showers and even their conversation. No ideal.

Fabulous
Fantastic place to stay. So many great facilities, from the swimming pool and water park to the playground & scooter track. There are go-carts, kayaks etc to rent out, and free board games & DVDs to borrow if the weather isn’t good. Great little beach area at the side of the river too. The cafe on site is good, and there’s a big indoor camp kitchen as well as plenty of bbqs. If that’s not enough, there are plenty of organised activities during the school holidays, and you’re only a 10min drive to Nabiac or Hallidays Point. All the staff are lovely. We will definitely be going back!

Short but sweet
I wish we stayed longer, but we were driving from Sydney to the Gold Coast so just needed a place for the night. Our daughter 1yo loved the water park! The staff were super friendly and left the water on a little longer than closing as we got there late. They also turned it on early so we’re could enjoy it before we left. Everything was clean and the cabin was perfect for our little family. Would highly recommend & will be back!

Friendly staff & a good location. Cabin was clean but needs a bit of love.It had caked on spills between stove & bench, mould along shower door seal, fungus growing on kitchen window & uplifting floor coverings. The front wooden steps need repair before they break under strain.

The reception to this park was a little confusing to find. However the overall stay was excellent. Cabin was fantastic and had plenty of room. The bathroom was designed for wheelchair access. The park is right near a river which can be accessed for fishing , kayaking etc. The park has its own cafe which was very convenient.

10/10 Exceptional

We were so pleased with the cabin (2 bedroom standard) it had everything you could need. The space was so clean, comfortable and in a great location to all the parks amenities. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. It really does have something from everyone, the playground and bike track were absolutely phenomenal and a hit for my kids (2 and 3 years) Our doggo absolutely loved the off leash area, it was huge and a great space for her to let off some energy. Our only negative was we went in winter so couldn’t enjoy the beautiful pool or splash park and we definitely didn’t stay long enough. We honestly can’t wait to come back- thank you so much for having us.

We liked the fact that you could go down to the river and have a fish. It was also convenient that there was an excellent cafe on site as well. The cabin was generously sized, modern and fresh. Pretty much had everything you needed for cooking, a BBQ nearby, and a big enough fridge to fit all the essentials in.
