It’s great to see a place that welcomes pets, we didn’t have one but lovely spot to stay with your doggy.
Place was well set out glamping was good and comfortable, lovely quiet little place by the sea, sadly the fish n chip wasn’t open Sat night but found the bowling club for food.
It was easy to checkin, but I did send 2 messages without reply. But when I rang they were straight on to my request, so better to ring than message.

Fantastic place to stay with family and small dog.

We spent long weekend here with family and dog. This place is pets friendly. Everything is clean and in good condition. Location is amazing. Very good place for weekend stay.

The cabin 5 is a well maintained and good size and good condition cabin. It seems quite new and clean. The down side is some amenities need to be improved such as: the quilt blanklet is made from poor quality material, it forms a doom with a lot of gap, it could not cover the body very well, cold air fillin all nights. Bad quality bed too. The stove jet need to be changed as the flame is very weak , could not make a proper meal, there is no decent knife in the kitchen , the knife is so blunt to the point that it could not cut a lemon not alone any other food. These things are small things but it makes stay much more comfortable and pleasant. If you really want to compete with other accommodation, I do belileve that these things need to be improved.

Our first glamping experience was nothing short of amazing. We stayed for a couple of nights and brought our dog, Lexi, along with us and she loved every minute of it. The site was incredibly dog-friendly, which made the whole trip that much more enjoyable for our little family.

The accommodation was spacious, clean, and beautifully set up with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There was also heating, which kept us warm during the cooler evenings.
The views from the site were absolutely stunning.

Lexi had plenty of space to roam and relax, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches that made the site pet-friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and can’t wait to come back again.

Unfortunately we were not aware that it was an elevated cabin. We are both over 70 & my wife is booked in for a hip replacement next month, so 20 steps was an issue. I did tick preference box for ground floor entry, when I booked.

We stayed in the 1 bedroom cabin which was perfectly situated, clean, modern, well equipped, and so comfortable. The fire pit and BBQ area were great and location right across from the water and main jetty worked well for us. The area is peaceful with a great cafe nearby. Highly recommend!

This place was the real deal. It was spotlessly clean, with crisp white bedding, tastefully presented, and reasonably priced. We will return soon with my grandchildren and their parents. We also appreciate the acceptance of our six greyhounds (I'm only joking)— our Toy Poodle!

Overly compact 2 bed cabin

Purposely selected this property as it had 2 bedroom cabins. Unfortunately my travelling partners were unable to come, which was probably a good thing as the cabin was quite small, with a small bathroom and would've been very tight with 3 of us. During the first evening there was a cricket invasion, that appeared to access via the sliding door track. & both doors were closed.
Aside from the compact size the cabin was generally comfortable.
Location was the best aspect being right across the road from the River and within easy walking distance to the Hotel and shops.
Another friend got a single bedroom cabin that would've been almost double the size, more modern and with a large verandah.

Perfect dog friendly retreat. Had everything we needed. Views of sunrise over the water were amazing. We particularly liked the information guide and especially the aboriginal sections which gave us a good insight on the aboriginal stories and culture. The place was also spotless , apart from a little bit of dust around the bunk beds which could have been easily missed.

Close location to the park and the coastal walk
Noisy during this time of the year, playground and the marina are very close to the property and the noise insulation is not great.
Poor condition of the outdoor tiny table, not table inside the cabin to have a cup of coffee, broom handle rusted.
Everything else worked as expected, very good hot water system.

The property was full of dog hair and had not been cleaned properly prior to arrival - also the noise from the unit behind us (which almost sits on top of the one we were in) was atrocious and did not let up all Saturday night. No on-site representation is a certain downfall of this place.

Not one to write reviews but they deserve it. Everyone was friendly and extremely welcoming which makes the place an awesome welcoming experience.

Close to the beach and place was very clean. Great fish and chips few doors down the road. Very well equipped for a tent. You have everything you need for a holiday. BBQ on deck, shampoo, conditioner, coffee, tea, full size fridge and microwave. They even had fresh eggs when we were there. It was a hotel stay in a tent. Very thoughtful owners. Bonus because our Furkids was very welcome and might have enjoyed the trip more than us.

Only thing we did not like was our stay was too short.

Definitely recommend the place. Will be back again.

Lived like a relaxed local - don’t want to leave!

Last-minute overnight booking for our family group of 6 adults across 2 cabins. Perfectly located for those who want to live like a relaxed local, with the option of good privacy readily available by closing the curtains. Cabins were clean and well maintained with good amenities. Excellent water views and access to the nearby boat ramp, picnic and playground areas etc. Even the birds are more relaxed and live in good harmony with each other (unlike where I live)! The owners were especially helpful with suggestions that suit our timing and preferences. Highly recommended - will stay longer next time!
