We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin - it was great.
The park has plenty to entertain both kids and adults and is in a nice quiet location.

Talk about value! I arrived late and had to leave early, but the cabin was great. Heaps of space and bedding, with a full kitchen etc. on my way out I stopped briefly to look at the beautiful views of the river.
Id really like to come back again when I'm not on a mission to get from North to South asap and spend a few days.

Very enjoyable stay. Kids loved the pool and splash park. Would’ve loved a dry playground option for the later hours. Staff were lovely and accommodating.

Everything was excellent but unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the whole facility over the time we were there as the weather turned nasty and we lost power for the whole night and it was still off when we left at 8-30am so kitchen and bathroom facilities couldn’t be used .

We just had a lovely stay for two nights! Kids loved the splash park and pool. Scenery and lake were lovely. Cabins very smart, climate controlled and clean. Had towels, toiletries, kitchen utensils etc. beds comfy enough. Overall a great stay that kids loved and was safe. My eldest is high needs and he loved it.

We wanted somewhere close to the highway but not the usual “roadside” hotel.
Thought we’d try something new and I’m glad we did. The unit smelled so fresh and clean, super spacious with plenty of spare pillows, blankets & towels.
Highly recommended

Amazing cabins and fantastic facilities. A long weekend with a 2year old and 4 year old. The water park was a huge highlight and the best I’ve seen at a holiday park. The pool was great so all swimmers and such a great having the pool lights on at night. The sunset by the lake is stunning, great family photos were captured here.
A short drive to Forster and even shorter drive to the amazing Artisan Farmer!
We had the best time!
