When checking in we were upgraded at no extra cost to a Park Motel as they thought it would be nice for us to have bathroom facilities for our young children. I was stoked with the customer service (obviously) and the cleanliness of the facilities. Would happily come stay here again. Thanks.

Hi Tim, thanks for the great review. I know what it is like having 3 young children myself so was more than happy to upgrade you as the room was available. Thanks Dan

Hi Amie thank you for your review and feedback. The curtains in your room are brand new but am sorry if they had come off the track. We take payment 7 days before arrival to ensure of no missed payments in case of a no show. We generally get very good feedback on our shower system but sorry to hear you did not like them.

Hi Michelle, You booked one of our basic backpacker unis for Xmas Day however we did have other options available. Our playground has a fort, swingset (5 years old), springfree trampoline (3 years old), outdoor table tennis table (1 year old) as well as an outdoor swimming pool, pedal carts. Right next door is Burgerking for a close food options however being Xmas day i think you would have struggled for any food options open apart from takeaways which do deliver to the Park. Kind regards Dan
