We had to cancel our spring camping trip due to lockdown and, the booking was changed to the summer school holidays without being charged extra and very efficiently. When we arrived the owner welcomed us with no mask on (January 2022 so masks are compulsory) in an indoor setting. He was not rude but not welcoming either which I would have expected for a holiday destination. We had no choice due to the changed booking and had to take spot V76. In the video on the website it looks like the perfect bushland setting and I have to say one side is really beautiful with a kangaroo guarantee but facing

I just had a great time with my kids at one of the campsites. The facilities are great and the staff do all they can to keep them clean. Our site was nice with a new layer of chipped wood if we needed to put our tent on it. We felt like we were secluded with lots of resident wildlife coming through! We even had a Goanna come through each afternoon at the same time. The outdoor cinema was very exciting for my kids and the beautiful stretch of beach and lake was great for all swim levels. I found the staff to be very helpful and always had smiles or hellos as we passed by. The cafe was a bonus

2 in how to speak politely.. we are not even talking customer service here. We can all read your rules and fully understand it. We just asked you to honour a change of dates request which you had initially but then had a change of mind a day later and called it an error from your end. And you called us silly and said we had to live with covid. Well not easy if you are immunocompromised and have kids who are not vaccinated. All you had to do was to tone down a bit but you have

Went to have a look at a van and annex to purchase spoke to female on phone and seemed lovely, arrived there and was greeted by the owner who showed me the site and cabin, as everyone else has said owner is rude and arrogant and turned me off straight away. The first few words were him trying to intimidate us, he spoke down to me in like another person said in a condensending way. I could only imagine he would get ruder and ruder as u stay there. He could have had a sale today but I want a holiday location where im made to feel comfortable not ask a genuine question like "how long has the van

Well. Andrew needs a personality transplant. Rude and rude and rude. Got stuck again with the boggest Camp site. Paid 4 nights left after 1. Friend called up and was asking not to pay the full fee due to positive covid case. Nope, still paying. No moving dates suggested? It's a nice spot. Ruined by poor drainage and attitude of Andrew. Sorry I picked up map and didn't read it correctly! I understand the rules but your rudeness is something else!

Really nice location, however the cabin bathroom stank of sewage and majority of the utensils and cookware were dirty, I dont think they were checked. Otherwise it was okay for a short stay.
