We only stayed here for one night and that was fine. It is a beautiful surrounding, very friendly and welcoming staff. The cottage is a bit out of date, definitely can do with a little bit of renewing like the cooking area and the curtains are very old. We found the pillows were way too high, but this is each to their own of course. We would come back as it is not all about the cottage, but it is a beautiful surrounding and friendly staff! Plus it was all very clean too!

This was an interest property. Whilst the facilities are very basic and dated, it was quiet and close to the beach. There's a tennis court and golf course. Kids loved the kangaroos and birdlife.

Well, I would like to start with the good things. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had good pressure. The furniture and curtains need upgrading big time and it needed some general maintenance

Stayed one night as it was close for seeing the roos on Cape Hillsborough beach. Couldn’t find a reception to book in but walked through the campsite and found Tina’s number on the outside of the golf house and called her to let her know we had arrived. Tina was very lovely and Accommodating. We stayed in a cabin. Quite a bit of work and painting needed on the cabins but they were comfortable and big. Lots of birds in the park and kangaroos also.

Stayed in shack 52 and it was a complete dump. Ants, marks all over the walls, a strong smell of Indian food, non-locking sliding door, leaky bathroom knobs, filthy carpet, tiny shower and lots more. Straightup gross. They should have paid me to stay there.

The location is great . The unit we stayed in was very tired although clean. The bed comfortable. Great bedroom wardrobe but no hangers. The washing machine was broken so pointless to have. This park has great potential but as units are strata titled it’s difficult to assess overall. I’d stay again if could view my particular unit first.

I booked 4 nights and by the 3rd night, I had enough and left. The aircon didn’t work, nor did the washing machine. There was water seeping up through the tiles on the floor. I booked a cabin for 6 people, yet the utensils provided was for a one man stay. The park and the proximity to the beach was great though.

This property is misrepresented . The condition of the villas is terrible There is NO washing machine, no cooktop, poorly equipped kitchen. FAULTY A/C Switch in the bedroom. No one should stay here and Expedia should not advertise it. I should get a full refund for such a terrible experience.
