My second time here and as always it was a nice stay. Very safe quiet and relaxing stay. The shared facilities is clean and the other campers are respectful. Close to the central business district, so plenty to do.

NRMA is relatively reasonably priced for our travel but we didn’t expect that the room had no bathrooms. We made it work and it was a good experience for the kids. The room was equipped with what was needed for our stay.

We stayed in an Ensuite Cabin. It was fabulous! The staff were always welcoming and it is great that they can book excursions on your behalf. We enjoyed our stay a great deal. It was fabulous value for $.
Clean room, share bath room and washroom is pretty clean too, Laundry is convenient and there is an AC waiting room from 9am to 9pm ish. The only downside for my cabin is I couldn’t connect to wifi and even cellular signal is really weak due to the metal roof top. The common waiting area has wifi but it’s only for limited hours.
