I stayed in a pet friendly superior cabin with my 15yr old chihuahua x and my 8yr old child. The cabin was lovely and roomy. Was a tight fit in the toilet/bathroom. We were close to the pool and water park, which is where we spent most of our days. The staff were really lovely people and even though the kitchen in the Cafe closes at 6pm, they let me place an order for dinner that night. I will be back :)

The glamping tent no 15 was the best spot! Right near the waterpark, reception and cafe. Having never stayed in a glamping tent before, I'm blown away at how grounding and relaxing they are and will likely choose this over a cabin any other day! Love this place!!!

What a fabulous park for families. All new facilities and cabins. The pool and water park were an absolute hit for our kids. The little cafe bar was also fantastic. Staff super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again. Such a great park!!

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
