The quiet area the cabin was in . I stayed 4 nights hubby stayed 2 nights. Being able to do my own thing and explore the whole park without a lot of people in it. I felt safe all the time here. I was able to take a rest on the lounge in the cabin with my feet up and not watch the clock like I have to when Im at work. Everything was in the cabin that we needed. Especially a tea cup. Cutlery just for two. Microwave was used a lot to heat water. I dont use noisey kettles even at home. We always bring and use our own tea coffee, milk, sugar, pillows, cases, bed cover and towels and soaps. Tv was handy and remote easy to use. Air con was a bit trickier. I read the instruction book supplied. I made sure I left the cabin cleaned throughout and swept throughout. Overall a well appointed little cabin 70. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. Hubby said we would stay there again as the whole entire park was so well laid out and there is something for everybody.

One car at a time parking at the cabin. Trying to get clean a very hot BBQ.Hubby did it, twice. Tried to keep bugs out of the cabin I used the fly spray provided but needed windows open for air flow in the evenings because it was warmer weather. I didnt ask and wasnt sure If staff checked inside the cabin each day.

Everything ! Layout and fresh decor. Comfy sofa . Big tv on the wall . Full size fridge and a very quality well equipped kitchen . Dining a pleasant experience with stylish table snd chairs for 6 and a patio setting for Al fresco . TV in bedroom perfect for lie in and good lighting with stylish bed lamps . A well thought out cabin for families right opposite the fun pool area . We loved the landscaping of the park with grasses (and less mowing ). Quality day/night blinds a bonus . Relaxing with a platter and wine on the deck . 🥂🍾🍓🧀.

Shower head didn’t spray BUT lovely fluffy big towels 🚿y uk

Great location, within walking distance to the main street, cafes, pubs, restaurants of which there was an excellent choice. The cabin, whilst an older cabin was clean and well-maintained, the mini fridge did manage to freeze anything that we put in it, not an issue for the short stay. The bed was extremely comfortable, which after a full day of exploring was a most welcome addition! Warm and cozy. Being away from the main street meant that at night it was quiet, most appreciated.

WiFi access was difficult which in today's digital age was disappointing - hard to travel and work if there is no connections.

The cabin is OK, bed is nice, for a cabin they have supplied more than usual cabin standard (soap, body lotion, shampoo, bedding, towels, even kitchen supplies are all more than usual cabin standards).

The unfortunate thing is the shower, it is no power, hard to regulate the hot and cold temperature, making shower is a bit of battle. It was fine during hot days, but I imagine it could be annoying during cold days. We can hear clearly people talking from next door cabin.

We absolutely love this park. Facilities are amazing, staff are friendly and helpful, location and position of the cabin was excellent. Over looking the kids' facilities - the jumping pillow, pool, grassed area, and playground was so relaxing, knowing the kids were safe and happy.

When staying for a long period like we did (4 nights and 5 days) you should get X2 towels per person, more than one tea towel, blankets in the kids' room (as only one in main room) & more bins liners.

Welcoming and attentive Staff. Spotlessly clean, modern, comfortable and quiet. Close to town centre and also 2 large supermarkets. Quality kitchen in the unit with everything you need. A highlight was also the quality bathroom products provided. Great facilities with pool and giant waterslide.

Nothing - I wish I could have stayed longer.

The facilities of the park were fabulous. Well maintained and plenty to do. BBQ areas were clean and there were camp kitchens which were also orderly and clean. We generally camp but the weather was looking wet and we were minding our grandson and his dogs so chose a pet friendly cabin. I noticed that there were plenty of spaces for camping and areas where people could have an open fire if they wanted to. Our grandson enjoyed the pool, playground and bouncy pillow. Would definitely return.

The couch in our room was very uncomfortable and the kitchen blind could not be opened or pulled up.

Clean and comfortable lounge room. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Close to Goolwa centre (ten minute walk). The staff on check in were friendly and well organised. The cabin overlooks a common green area with newly planted vegetation. The private driveway is large.

We were given an accessible unit - which had a few minor issues for the able bodied. The windows were low and the bathroom lacked hooks etc.. Also the toilet seat could not be kept up because of the back rest. The cabin is close to others.

The location of the park is ideal as a base for travelling around Goolwa, Port Elliot, Middleton and Victor Harbour. The cleanliness of the cabin and park is exceptional and the staff are friendly. Truly a good place to relax and catch up with friends!

Didn't like the noise of the horse stable behind the cabin at 5am, but to the credit of the staff they facilitated a move to another cabin without any fuss! Great customer service!
