    Access to staff for assistance was limited as we spent most days off the island and the office hours were very restricted (and not always available within the advertised hours). Security is available at all hours but were unable to help, despite us being told that they could.

    Wonderful location with great (and clean) amenities. Plenty of things do do on the island as well as an easy trip to the city to venture further.

    A small issue is the tourists wandering into the property not realising it was private.The front door had to be locked at all times. We even had someone ask if they could come and look inside the house. Some sort of easy to manage lock on the gate would be great.

    We stayed in one of the houses and it was a wonderful family adventure. The garden was great to relax in and take in the contestant changing activities on the harbour while the kids played. It was also a great island to explore. Getting around by ferry was also fun for everyone, we could get wherever we wanted on the harbour quickly and easily.

    Once we realised what cockatoo island was and all the history it made sense the only trouble I had was trying to use the hot plate

    When we first arrived we were horrified thinking what are we in for but then we were told I booked a whole house I was shocked The outside we thought we were going to an old derelict house but inside was like a palace. It wasn’t until later we discovered the history of cockatoo island and then it all made sense.

    Tents too much on top of each other. Be better to have them spread further apart to enjoy being away camping The Sat night movie offer did not suit the boys - 3 kids watching in the end. Had a scout group there and they could not get out fast enough…

    The experience at night was awesome for the kids. Haunted island. They loved roaming with all the kids through tunnels and the whole precinct.

    At the spot that use our own tent, there's probably hundreds of seagull that make noises all day and night that will disturbing our sleep.

    I like there's free movie night, nice and beautiful view and the complete amenities and facilities.
