The glamping tent was very comfortable. Enjoyed our stay once we got over the disappointment of the tent not being on or near the beach,as appeared in advert, but facing a big shed.

The property would be good as a destination park ie a week or so stay. For our purpose it turned out to be a long way from Ballina. The bathroom shower was in desperate need of a good clean or regrout as it was very mouldy. Overall though, the cabin was good and we enjoyed our stay

Liked: Cleanliness
The holiday park is nice overall, but be aware that they’re currently undergoing renovations. During the week, there’s a lot of activity with trucks constantly moving around, which didn’t feel very safe for the kids. We stayed in one of the cabins. It was clean and functional, but quite dated and could really use some upgrades to make it more comfortable. A decent spot if you're just looking for a place to stay, but probably better suited once the renovations are complete.
