Lovely spot right near the beach and on the river. Our cabin was very comfortable, shower pressure and hot water was welcomed. Special shout out to the lovely young woman at Reception who was extremely welcoming. We were thankful to checkin early after a long drive from Melbourne.

The room was very disappointing and poorly maintained. There were far too many issues to list them all, but some of the main problems included a non-working external light, broken shower and exhaust fans, and a TV that didn't function properly and was hanging crooked on the wall.
The fridge door dragged on the carpet every time it was opened, the floors and walls were dirty, and there were numerous poorly repaired patches throughout the room. There was no seating or table, no bedside tables, and the storage cupboard was broken.
The biggest issue was the bed. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable, with springs poking through, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.
Overall, the room was in poor condition and did not meet expectations. At more than $200 per night, it represented very poor value for money. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here.

We stayed in the bunkhouse and it was terrible. The beds creaked and squeaked terribly with every slight movement. Didn’t get much sleep at all. Should be advertised as a dormitory. Only good for school camps. Room was small. No TV. The shower was the only redeeming feature. The park itself is lovely and location great but to charge so much for those awful creaking beds is criminal. It would have been more comfortable sleeping in our car.

The location is good near to seaside. The room is simple and ok. The bunk beds are terrible and make a bad noise when you make a turn during your sleeping. It is worse for top bed. Staff are friendly. Enough parking for driving travellers. The park security is good. Generally speaking, good, but carefully select your room. The park should improve the room facilities. Thanks

We recently stayed here as part of a larger group and unfortunately were disappointed with our experience. While others in our group were allocated cabins of the same type and price, their rooms were noticeably larger, more modern and in much better condition than ours. In comparison, our cabin felt quite small and was in fairly poor condition, which was disappointing given we paid the same rate.

There was also some confusion at check-in, as we were initially given the wrong room number. This resulted in us accidentally walking into an occupied cabin and being met by another guest, which was understandably awkward for everyone involved.

Overall, while the location and group atmosphere were great, the inconsistency in cabin quality and the mix-up on arrival impacted our stay.

Sooo basic! Four bunks, bathroom with toilet and shower. No TV but we were aware of what we were booking so it suited us. Bunk was squeaky but surprisingly comfortable. Extra blankets if needed, window opened and air conditioning worked well. Convenient parking. No complaints at all. Weve stayed here a few times previously in different types of accommodation without issues. Would recommend and will stay here again.

An eye for detail & some regular & timely maintenance would improve this property. Most issues are an easy & cheap fix but it’s like nobody cares. External Cabin walls & windows mouldy/dirty. Broken down appliances (not fixed over 2 week period between my visits), Garden/outdoor furniture form internal room decor, bed quilt too small for bed, Cheap flat pillows no spares, hard bed space in room for extra bench space but none, plates cutlery provided but no pots pans sharp knife etc in either rooms or camp kitchen, cheap poor quality appliances (toaster sandwich maker). Overall, very cheaply (Kmart) fitted out with zero attention to detail & not much maintenance. A shame really. The property is well situated on the lake & far enough off the main road to be quiet.

The phone lines were down so unable to get a hold of the property for days to work out late check in which was frustrating tried phone, email and facebook. Also wanted to discuss possibly upgrading accommodation which they had emailed me about but then they were unable to attend to this request anyway because I had booked through expedia and then expedia enquiry advised couldn't get back to me within 48 hours which would have been too late. Also was sent all registration online to complete prior to staying but then had a text to say I needed to go to reception regarding registration paperwork, we had something on next morning but we hung around to office opened to only be told it was an error and everything was completed online correctly! This was frustrating as well and delayed our morning plans.

We booked for the studio which looked amazing on the website, well! it was the total opposite when we checked in. The towels on our bed were damped and smelly, the fridge was all mouldy and there was so much dust everywhere, so we contacted the office and Nicole from the office was very apologetic and she upgraded us to a villa. The cleaning supervisor even came to us and said sorry and admitted it was horrible and unacceptable. Even the Villa was disappointing, the cleanliness was so bad I ended up going down to the local supermarket and bought cleaning stuff to clean it ourselves as we didn’t want it to ruin our stay.
The whole park looked very neglected, everywhere you look there’s so much mould, the trees and plants are overgrown which is a shame because it used to look so beautiful and well maintained in the past. It’s in the best location in the Northern Beaches and I think that’s the only reason why people still go there, other than that it was a real let down for us.

Would have been nice if the beds had been made up for our arrival:)

Making beds when you arrive at your accommodation is rare and the last thing you want to do if you have been travelling all day
:(

In fact,I have never heard of this before, has anyone else??

Certainly not an inexpensive stay and not really value for money in my opinion.

I thought the cabin was supposed to have amenities like tea/coffee making (kettle), hair dryer, crockery, cutlery but alas there was none to be found except for 1 cup !

The room was filthy, couldn't say when the last time it had been vacuumed, the screens on the windows were so dirty filled with dust you could hardly see out of the window

Make note that the rooms aren't serviced during the stay
Requests for extra towels or toilet paper will be met will a requirement to explanation why you need them

Smoke detector was tapped up with a plastic bag, we can only imaging this is due to the shower steam filling the room due to the poor exhaust fan in the bathroom

The public amenities block was quiet pleasant the first use on the Friday night clean and in good order however didn't seem to be cleaned or maintained after that
