Christmas spent Glamping

We had a great stay in the Sunset Tent during Christmas. Although there was no air-conditioning, fortunately we had a cool breeze blowing through & by opening the windows it flows through - also has a fan if needed. Toilet & shower was just a small walk away. Lots of wildlife to enjoy - we seen & heard Koalas, possums, magpies & lorikeets were all very friendly. Sunset views were very spectacular. Great dining options nearby as well.

Excellent stay

We stayed in a Glam tent and it was great. The view of the water was amazing and it has everything we needed. There are no toilets in the tent but the facilities were very close and some of the cleanest I've ever used. Just remember it is a tent and there are bugs as to be expected. The grounds were beautifully kept and the staff was extremely friendly.

The word that comes to mind is magical. Amazing experience staying in the glamping tent. The birds, the stars, the view.. it was just magical! There are 2 resident koalas but we were not sble to find them. Really great food at Cheeky Dog right down the street as well.

Loved the peace and quiet, the bird life and leafy grounds. The garden was well kept. The reception person was very helpful and welcoming. Instructions and rules of the park were easy to follow and everything was easy and organised when booking in to the villa we stayed in. We were in walking distance to restaurants and cafes and a short distance from the bowling club for food. We had a lovely couple of days and will try to return in the future. Thank you.

We liked our stay here. The cabin was beautiful. We saw a koala our first night, and loved the daily ranbow lorikeet visits. Shops are a short drive. The receptionist was fantastic, and was able to help us upon arrival with baby wipes, when we ran out as we arrived!! Thanks again :) The Spa was not usable - the jets were coated in an orange film and it is clear that it has not had a quality clean in a long time! Dirty washing was also left in the washing machine. The laundry here is dismal, and placed inside an in-use bathroom.... We were unaware of the early and very loud Zumba class running out the hall of right next to our cabin, that was a loud and very early start :( Whilst nice, this stay did not meet our expectations.
