Just spent 3 nights in our van in this lovely little park. The ensuite and toilet facilities available to us where clean and tidy. Loved the big gums in the park and it was very peaceful and quiet. Would definitely stay here again. Close to IGA and only 2 minute drive into main street. Plenty of lovely cafes, restaurants and wineries to enjoy.

This caravan park has had mixed reviews in the past, but under new caretakers it is well looked after and amenities are very clean.

We had a very comfortable couple of nights in a cabin here whilst visiting the wineries. The linen was all in good condition and there was a laundry insight.

Lovely quiet park with beautiful grassed sites. Drive through and ensuite sites also available. Pet friendly. No camp kitchen but you can get a BBQ from reception for a small fee. A nice 5-10 min walk into town.

One of the worst stays I've ever had. The caravan was disgusting, filled with mice and smelled terrible. The owner didn't even provide clean bed sheets and when I asked for some he said "I'm not your mother". To make things even worse, he didn't return the deposit because he said he had to pay a cleaner. That's what a park owner is supposed to do anyway, and I feel he cheated us out of a deposit. Seems to be a trend here based on other reviews. Avoid this place if you can.
