Our second visit to this incredible caravan park that is clearly one of the gems of the great ocean road. Last time we camped, this time we rented one of their sparkling clean, comfortable and well appointed cabins. It was an excellent 3 night stay. Moira at reception and Ty the manager were amazing, and made our stay extra special thanks to their assistance. Lots of Koalas in the trees every day right in the campground and every night there is a mob of 20 grey kangaroos that comes into the field next store. Add to that the beautiful beach across the road and this place is the perfect get away to experience all that this part of Oz has to offer. Thanks for having us, we will be back!

Beautiful natural setting. Kids loved the wildlife, especially the Koalas and the King Parrots which landed on them. Great beach just across the road and we enjoyed the river walk too. Friendly staff and great little cabins. Will return for sure!

Paul and Briony were absolutely excellent. When I arrived to book in---- Expedia , yes you, had cancelled my booking for no reason at all. Paul was fantastic and found me accommodation in the Camp worker's hut for the weekend. I cannot thank him enough. Expedia owe the Kennett river camp management $200 . I will never book with Expedia again .

For viewing Koalas, this is the place to be! The friendly and helpful hosts share their knowledge of the area and local wildlife. A short walk across the Great Ocean Road is a wonderful smooth, sandy beach; great for sunrises. The cabin is clean, well-equipped and in great condition.

Good location for koala bears.
Very nice and comfortable cabin. Brilliant location for seeing koala bears right on your door step. Lots of King parrots and also some really nice walks. Free WiFi only works near reception and mobile signal is weak in the area. Nice beach. Easy reach of lorne and apollo Bay. Free dvd rental and handy cafe near by. Recommended.

Close to the beach
The cabin I stayed had all that covered the basic needs. The mattress I slept on was horrible and could feel the springs poking through. The beach view right across was fantastic. This property is so badly lite it was virtually impossible to find as it is in quite a remote area. There is no phone reception here and wifi service is also very poor. The playground for children looked terrible! We requested a floor mat and an extra towel as after 2 and half days the mat started looking dirty and was told that you only get one set even though you stayed 1 or 5 days!

Great Stay
Inexpensive but delightful location between Lorne’s and Apollo. Clean park model RV with decently equipped kitchen. Located at entrance to National Forest with lots of Koalas and friendly parrots that will eat from your hand. Can hear the surf at night and see the ocean which is a quick walk away, just across the great ocean road. One of the most enjoyable spots we stayed during our 21 day holiday stretching from North Queensland to Melbourne.

Lovely cabin...
My friend's words were as we left..."that is the nicest place I've ever stayed at". We just wanted some peace and quiet before the Xmas rush and we got it. Our cabin was tucked in a corner close to the beach. We loved the birds that came to visit as well as a koala on a mission and a shy kangaroo. Cabin was lovely and clean, bed was comfortable and shower worked well. We had a lovely stay and I really didn't want to go back home. Thanks for a lovely break. I'd like to come back sometime.

Running from Kennett River!
Stayed for 2 nights before and after the half marathon (part of the Great Ocean Road Running Festival). The room was so convenient to the start line! The cabins have all the gear for a short stay away. Bring your food and you are set!

2 person cabin. Close to the sea.
Small and compact the cabin was more than adequate for our two night stay. Koalas in the tress, birds all around and the sea on our doorstep. Very relaxing and the weather was brilliant. Could have done with a verandah but nothing's perfect!

Beach across the road and wildlife amazing!
Great little caravan park with beach across the road and the sound of the ocean all night. Kids loved feeding all the different birds and spotting koalas in the trees at the park even the old wallabies. kids play ground could do with an upgrade!

Sun, surf and serenity
We came here for a quiet, relaxing few days and that's exactly what we got. The cabin was incredibly clean and whilst not top of the range it was comfortable and functional. Despite being one cabin back from the GOR there was no road noise, all we heard was the surf. My partner has limited mobility and there were only 2 steps onto the porch of our cabin which he coped well with. The bathroom was VERY small but he was still able to use it without major problems. The whole campground is flat which made walking to the shop and beach very simple for him. We would be happy to come and stay here again.

Couples Cabin
We stayed in the couples cabin but there were family cabins also. This is NOT a hotel so don't expect one! Excellent, modern, clean cabin in a small caravan park directly across the road from the beach. Fully self contained - you'll only need food and a beach towel. Don't rely on the free wifi, it doesn't work. We had no phone service either and had to drive to Apollo Bay or Lorne for signal. Great way to get away from it all! Koala roaming the park and if you don't see that one there are plenty in the hills behind, as well as wallabies. Highly recommend this park.
