The management is amazing! I had booked an onsite van and got an excellent upgrade to a two story cabin that cost less than renting bedding would have! Had a great stay and highly recommend

Set in a very relaxed and tranquil location, cabins are unique and nestled in amongst beautiful trees and ferns. the park is across the road from a small beach and located between smithton and Burnie and very close to Stanley. It has everything you could want from free dvds and cds to a unique fully equipped community kitchen shed with bbq. The owners were kind and friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them and stay at the crayfish. Very relaxing stay, highly recommended.

Was relaxing, comfortable, private and quiet. I love the bush scenery. If your going to stay, bring your own water as the water from the tap was quite brown and didnt taste very good. But over all loved it and will stay again. And nice to know you can bring your fur babies. Will be bringing mine next time.

Check in was welcoming and helpful. The onsite van with annexe that we stayed in had plenty of beds, a large bathroom and some low doorways. The lighting in the annexe was limited (not helped by one of the light fittings missing a globe).

thank you for your concern , the reason Snow is away from accommodation is he wakes everyone up or talks all night , he is a good burglar alarm if people are sneaking around. Snow does get let out but for his protection he would rather be in his cage also has company with the other ducks and Chooks

Beautiful, peaceful, quiet locaton. Lovely comfy bed. Only complaint is that we couldn't drink the water, and there was no milk for a cuppa. Easily solved though. We bought some bottled water for the kettle and some milk. Lovely place to stay

Loved the location. We only had a one night stay but would have liked a couple more. We stayed in the 3 bed double story. Accommodation is fairly basic for the price paid but because of the location and the feel of the park I will return again. Must have been a large group party going on the night we stayed so difficult for sleeping (still people yapping at 3am).

We stayed in the tree house cabin which was cute and quirky and the kids loved it. The lovely deck with our own BBQ, and the two bathrooms were definitely a bonus. The location is great and the walk to the waterfalls is worth it. Would stay here again.

Very run down!
We were booked into the Honeymoon room (online pictures were wayyy different to actual small boxy room, so after we were not happy the lady upgraded us to the "house". $265 for 2 nights in a run down shack that smelt so musty/full of cobwebs, unfinished rooms, we kept laundry door shut so no animals came through hole/missing roof. Walking on the floor in main bedroom basically shook all windows/flooring. Probably not a good idea to have a coffee machine in room when coffee beans provided were best before 2014. We feel very ripped off, could have paid this amount to stay at the casino or 4+ star hotels. This would be lucky to be rated at 1 star!

This is a very unique property. Small touches make this park a very nice stay away. Heater was put on for us prior to arrival so we walked in to a lovely warm room. Comfy bed and owners and son were very helpful. Highly recommend a stay there.

We spent two lovely nights there with the family in the cabin. There was enough privacy for us all despite the open-plan design. Shower pressure was excellent and the fridge was bigger than a bar-fridge which was a huge bonus for us. We loved the trampoline and all had a bit of fun on our day of departure. Excellent location and value for money. It is the second time we have stayed and we will definitely be back again.
