Our stay here was just what we needed! Perfect option for our little family (Grandma, 3yo, 5yo and Mum). Kids absolutely loved the playground at the foot of our backdoor (2 bdrm flat). Heaps of room to run around or you could just sit by the river and watch the water. The 2 bdrm flats are slightly older so don't go expecting 5 star quality. It was perfect for us with a great location, handy as we were travelling between family around the area. There's a simple shop on hand for necessities. There's also a Dairy 4 minutes away and a Woolworths less than 10. We checked in a bit later than staffed hours but it was super simple to follow their instructions and map to our accommodation. We will definitely be back.

Better management needed

The shared kitchen and arcade room was over crowded by one family all morning and lunch throwing a childs birthday then another family from dinner until 4am, Was definitely uncomfortable sitting playing cards and guitar at 10-11/12-1am while trying to cook food for my family which we ended up eating in our cabin

My husband was turned away after booking for himself and my 3 young boys, had some car issues and arrived late for check in. Clearly he explained this to staff and the response he received absolutely infuriates me with the sheer arrogance alone. Staff replied with "the chickens are all been put back in the coop, i wont be coming down to check amyone in" Shame !!
