Hi. We are sorry that your expectations of our park were not what you thought. You had booked our basic cabins which clearly shows in the pictures that these units use the shared bathroom & kitchen facilities. This price of these units should have also been an indicator that they are very cheap and affordable. I spoke with you regarding this and advised that you had made the booking directly online. The descriptions are very clear. If you wish to seek further clarity please contact us direct.

Overall we had a great stay. Facilities and location were excellent. The room we had was a little dated and needed a good clean but it was well priced and suitable for our needs.

Don't book for villa, there's no room service at all, do everything by yourself, clean carpet? change bin bag? change towel? Who wants to do that during holidays. Very disappointing.
Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2020
Response from Sally on 10 Oct,2020
We advertise that there is no room service unless requested and then there is an additional charge. We would have been happy to service your Villa if you had requested it at the time of booking. It pays to read carefully.

Thanks for your review, The creek (not drain) is cleaned regularly, when the banks are weed-eaten the grass goes into the creek but soon clears

Great location and view
We stayed for two nights in a Villa which had all the comforts of a motel although you need to be aware that it will not be serviced if you are staying for less than three nights. The view was amazing as the villa is on a higher level of the holiday park.
