Good location, good play areas for children.
Fairly dated, could use updating. Ducks poo all around the pool and splash park edges, maintenance hoses it into the pools early in the morning with a high pressure hose. Most guests would still be sleeping and not see this. It’s a little concerning especially as little ones play in the water too.

We loved the grounds, everything was very well maintained, clean, tidy and exceeded expectations. Pools were all sparkling clean and so much fun! Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed as a family with a baby and toddler. Activities were well advertised, on time and perfect for a wide range of kids ages. Checked in late at 10.30pm and it was a breeze, clear instructions were emailed and key safe was simple to use.
Not much we didn’t enjoy, I’d only say to bring insect repellent but that’s nature and not a fault of the property. Perhaps a spare set of sheets for each bed would have been handy but a simple request to reception was easily provided.

A friendly young couple served Dutch pancakes for breakfast and they were amazing. We had taken our own food but if we went again and now we know they are there morning, lunch and dinner we would eat from their eatery. The pool was so much fun for the kids and especially that we could watch them from the verandah of our cabin. We didn’t get the best weather the weekend we were there but the kids still had such a great time in the pool. There was a train (tractor) ride, a movie on at night in the entertainment building, a games room, large outdoor chess, putt putt and fishing or canoeing if you wanted.
To try pick something I didn’t like is hard. Lighting was a little dark in cabin and light switch locations were a little hard to find. But that is such a minor thing. Bunks were a little tricky to get in and out of.

Kids loved the park, arcade and especially the pool. The cabin was facing the camp grounds with beautiful trees which we loved. The lady at reception was lovely, very helpful and friendly.
Nothing at all to complain about

We stayed in a Buccaneer 6 cabin. It was absolutely immaculately clean. The beds were comfy, the pillows are a little firm, so if you like a softer one, take your own, but I still slept well. All staff and outdoor workers we encountered were lovely, especially when my two young’s kids said hello every time they walked past. The workers were always happy to engage and wave and say hi back. Sharon in the office (Park owner I believe) was wonderful and especially went out of her way to make the kids special by giving them the time of day. My 5 yr old girl is a chatterbox but Sharon always engaged and happily listened and talked with her. I found all of the facilities were great and especially great for kids of all ages. The kids loved the train ride! The river was nice to chuck a line in. Some good bites but only thing my daughter caught was an eel. Loved this park and as it filled up towards the weekend, it became alive with fun and laughter, and adults happily walking around, drink in hand saying hello to everyone they passed. Wonderful atmosphere!
The only thing I didn’t like was packing up to come home. So I booked another holiday there for next year!!!!

Very clean, friendly staff great amenities and stuff for the kids to do
There was nothing I didn’t like about the property if I had anything to say it would be pricing but in saying that it would cost a fortune to keep park running as well as staff who go out of way to entertain kids great job

Love all the facilities and very friendly and helpful staff the kids and myself had a good time.
To many mosquitoes as soon as you walk out of your door your getting attacked by them hard to have a good time when your getting bitten all the time.

The cabin was cosy and comfortable. There were plenty of activities for kids (that us adults played with too 😄). It was only a few minutes drive to shops, beach etc. The staff were so great. Can't wait to go back.
