It's sort of hard to rate because I stayed involuntarily during the floods in 2025 because I spent the previous night sleeping in my car and couldn't get the hundred kilos home to Port. I'm sure the surrounds are spectacular under normal circumstances but we were almost in the brown water of the river. The cabin was pretty cool though and I felt like it was a great decision and lucky I found them.

Everything was excellent but unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the whole facility over the time we were there as the weather turned nasty and we lost power for the whole night and it was still off when we left at 8-30am so kitchen and bathroom facilities couldn’t be used .

We just had a lovely stay for two nights! Kids loved the splash park and pool. Scenery and lake were lovely. Cabins very smart, climate controlled and clean. Had towels, toiletries, kitchen utensils etc. beds comfy enough. Overall a great stay that kids loved and was safe. My eldest is high needs and he loved it.

We wanted somewhere close to the highway but not the usual “roadside” hotel. Thought we’d try something new and I’m glad we did. The unit smelled so fresh and clean, super spacious with plenty of spare pillows, blankets & towels. Highly recommended

Stayed in the Standard 2 bedroom cabin which suited the 3 of us just fine. Nice newly built cabins with A/C, creature comforts and walking distance to the water park, pool and lake. Only complaints if I had to find them, was the screen door didnt have a locator for the door latch and bathroom door latch didn't line up so it couldn't be locked. Highly recommended and will be back 👍
