    Location of my cabin. Being a solo traveller I enjoyed being away from the crowd. I enjoyed my 'own' private pool so to speak

    The unfortunate thing is the shower, it is no power, hard to regulate the hot and cold temperature, making shower is a bit of battle. It was fine during hot days, but I imagine it could be annoying during cold days. We can hear clearly people talking from next door cabin.

    The cabin is OK, bed is nice, for a cabin they have supplied more than usual cabin standard (soap, body lotion, shampoo, bedding, towels, even kitchen supplies are all more than usual cabin standards).

    When staying for a long period like we did (4 nights and 5 days) you should get X2 towels per person, more than one tea towel, blankets in the kids' room (as only one in main room) & more bins liners.

    We absolutely love this park. Facilities are amazing, staff are friendly and helpful, location and position of the cabin was excellent. Over looking the kids' facilities - the jumping pillow, pool, grassed area, and playground was so relaxing, knowing the kids were safe and happy.

    One car at a time parking at the cabin. Trying to get clean a very hot BBQ.Hubby did it, twice. Tried to keep bugs out of the cabin I used the fly spray provided but needed windows open for air flow in the evenings because it was warmer weather. I didnt ask and wasnt sure If staff checked inside the cabin each day.

    The quiet area the cabin was in . I stayed 4 nights hubby stayed 2 nights. Being able to do my own thing and explore the whole park without a lot of people in it. I felt safe all the time here. I was able to take a rest on the lounge in the cabin with my feet up and not watch the clock like I have to when Im at work. Everything was in the cabin that we needed. Especially a tea cup. Cutlery just for two. Microwave was used a lot to heat water. I dont use noisey kettles even at home. We always bring and use our own tea coffee, milk, sugar, pillows, cases, bed cover and towels and soaps. Tv was handy and remote easy to use. Air con was a bit trickier. I read the instruction book supplied. I made sure I left the cabin cleaned throughout and swept throughout. Overall a well appointed little cabin 70. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. Hubby said we would stay there again as the whole entire park was so well laid out and there is something for everybody.

    The late check text message system is from one phone number and contacting the park had a different number. I was required to send a copy of my license for proof of identity (which I don't like doing these days) but it was not reaching the desk staff for confirmation. the staff were lovely over the phone though.

    Loved the new cabins and facilities and the cabins were very sound proof

    We were given an accessible unit - which had a few minor issues for the able bodied. The windows were low and the bathroom lacked hooks etc.. Also the toilet seat could not be kept up because of the back rest. The cabin is close to others.

    Clean and comfortable lounge room. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Close to Goolwa centre (ten minute walk). The staff on check in were friendly and well organised. The cabin overlooks a common green area with newly planted vegetation. The private driveway is large.

    Not having screens on the windows or front door of cabin. It would have been nice to open the cabin up with fresh air without worrying about bugs 🐛

    The cabin was really nice, comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed. The kids entertainment activities were amazing. Kids loved the water park.
