We had a mixed experience at this park. While the accommodations and amenities offered plenty of fun for the family, some aspects, like the noise levels and some room facilities, left a lot to be desired. The location was nice, but the amenities might not suffice when the park is fuller. Overall, it was enjoyable but could definitely use some improvements.

This resort is an absolute gem for nature lovers! Tucked away in a serene environment, it's perfect for family getaways with plenty of activities for kids. The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, making our stay delightful. However, the beach might not be the best for swimming due to choppy waters. There's also a great cafe on-site, but the dining experience could use a bit more variety.

Our stay at the resort was truly enjoyable, with spacious and clean accommodations that catered perfectly to families and kids. We had access to a variety of fun activities, including a pool, beach access, and craft sessions for the kids. However, we faced some issues with the daily Wi-Fi limit and a lack of power points in the cabin, which could be frustrating for our group. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway, especially for families!

We had a fantastic long weekend at the park! The spacious cabins were very clean, and the kids loved seeing kangaroos roaming freely. However, some areas can get muddy, and we did face some connectivity issues due to limited Wi-Fi. Overall, it's a great place for families with lots of amenities and activities.

We spent a lovely family vacation at this resort, which boasts clean and modern amenities and a variety of activities for the kids. The facilities are impressive, especially the pools and the fun water park. However, our villa had a few maintenance issues that dampened the experience a bit, especially given the price we paid. Overall, it was a great stay that kept the kids entertained, but there's room for improvement in the rooms.
