It did the job for an overnight stay for a footy game. But it stunck of mould, the aircon was very mouldy and the sheets were not very clean. Also did book a double room but got two singles. Didn’t complain as I know they were fully booked out for the game and knew that nothing could have happened. It doesn’t bother me so much but my partner has an auto immune disease and the mould would be an issue if we were staying for any longer than we did.

Our cabin was very dated and I would say the same for the showers and toilets. Although the staff were so friendly and the facilities in the park were great and well maintained. We were in the cheapest priced cabin (because we booked last minute and it was all that was left) so I understand they were the budget option but I really think they need to be refreshed, as I noticed the other cabins around us were clearly recently renovated. There was a lot of pot holes in the roads around the park that I think could be repaired also. I would stay here again and I would highly recommend for families as my son loved the pool and water park, and playgrounds.
