"Our aloha cabin was really lovely and comfortable. It was also super clean. The kids loved the pools and waterslide. We loved the whole park. There is a bowling club next door (food not great) or cheeky dog restaurant across the road (food great) which was handy but I would have loved a cafe on site or even just coffee. That was the only thing missing for me. Also if you could pick this park up and put it in shoal bay that would be even better cos I didn’t love the location."

"Overall we enjoyed our stay, the view and access to the bay was amazing. We would not recommend it for elderly people as there were lots of stairs and bathrooms were modern with no handrails etc.The property needed a spring clean. Lots of cobwebs outside and dust on internal skirting boards and window sills. Toilet brushes needed replacing in all bathrooms. Beachside guest bedroom - fan light no working, curtains would not close completely.Master bedroom with ensuite - fan not working in bathroom.Kitchen - floor need a good wash, sticky area beside the fridge."
