Geoffrey, thank you for your review. My apologies if we seemed a bit abrupt at check-in. The chalet you were in is one of our oldest as is due for its annual maintenance, which is hard to fit in when we are so busy.

no photos were available of this accommodation option before choosing, didn't realise it was a caravan with a tiny bar fridge, barely any cooking utensils, curtains that are very sheer and don't cover the whole window, cobwebs , no airconditioning. very expensive per night for what type of accommodation it is. staff are lovely though.

Hi Adele, thank you for your review. These are our cheapest and oldest cabins which do need a bit of work to be carried out on them. As the weather in Albany does not get overly hot an air conditioner is not needed as a fan is supplied.

We were so excited for our stay at the Rose Gardens catching up with family and friends at this beautiful location however this excitement soon turned to disappointment. It is about five years since our last visit and no maintenance or upgrades have happened in that time. The grounds don’t appear to be being watered the roads need grading and the toilet blocks are appalling. Our ensuite cabin had mould in the shower bits of trim falling off, water staining on the ceiling and was in very bad disrepair. Overall a ver disappointing experience we won’t be back.

Hi Steph, as it has been 5 years since your last visit you have no idea what maintenance or upgrades have been done. In the last 6 months we have totally refurbished 4 chalets. It is very hard to water lawns when we are fully booked but they were green before the influx of people. The toilet blocks were only appalling due to certain ethnic groups who don't know how to use a western toilet and was very difficult to keep on top of their mess. I could not find any mould in your shower recess as I inspected it as soon as your review came up and yes there is a water stain on the ceiling but it does not leak.

Poor security, lack of space. Caravan was at least 40 yrs old and been renovated to a poor standard. Didn't think poor older properties like this existed any more. Avoid at all costs. Do not stay here !!!!

Response from Kathy - Manager on 30 Nov,2023
Robert, not sure about poor security as we have a Patrol come into the park twice every night, 7 days a week, and Managers live on site if any problems. You booked one of our oldest and smallest cabins available, hence the cheaper price compared to the others.

Very run down and very little maintenance must be done on the standard cabins but it is cheaper than some others. I would recommend the better units.

Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback and unfortunately there is not a lot we can do with the ensuite cabins due to their age and size and glad you enjoyed your stay with the free upgrade.

Accommodation reminded me of jimmy mcbrides hut The newest item in the shack was the toilet. Requested by management to keep clean do dishes with a quarter of a dishcloth, broom was filthy, dustpan feel apart, electrical wires hang over gas stove - unsafe. Fan and heater have nowhere safe to plug into electrical point demonstrated by the fan cord already being burnt-no extension cord provided. Never sighted management despite arriving before 5pm as the website indicated however found out on arrival they actually close at 4.30pm

Ellen, thank you for review but not sure what Jimmy McBrides hut is. You were supplied with a full size dishcloth (folded in half), detergent and tea towel for doing dishes. Also unsure as to what electrical wires hang over the gas stove as the TV is plugged in behind the fridge. Management were certainly around during your stay as we work every day and available if required after hours and are usually in the office until 5pm.

The interior of the cabin was like a 1960 caravan. The flywire on the window was torn, the sink kept blocking, the curtains didn't cover all the window and the backing was flaking off, one hotplate on the 'oven' didn't work, and you couldn't use the oven and hot plate at the same time. Hot water was only warm, and the water pressure was extremely poor.
Response from Kathy on 14 Oct,2023
Thank you for your review Dureene. I have passed your concerns to our maintenance department as we didn't know about the sink blocking, hotplate not working, hot water and water pressure. Unfortunately if we aren't told of any problems we don't know.

Being welcomed with “Sorry, you’ve got the crappy cabin” was not a promising start. True enough, cabin 15 was indeed very dated and really in need of replacement. I’m not sure why we were put in it though. While all the flash units on the beachside did seem occupied, the rest of the park, and most of the other cabins, appeared empty. My advice would be not to book through a third party website, but book directly with the caravan park, and make sure exactly what you’re going to get!
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Kathy - Manager on 4 Sept,2023
Geraint, thank you for your review. We only have 2 of the cabins that you booked and they are side by side at the front of the park near the office. Some beachfront villas were available but it is not what you booked or paid for. If you had come to the office asking for an upgrade we possibly could have helped you. As you stated, unfortunately with online bookings you don't know what you are getting and it's better to phone the park directly.

A little bit of Eden
We had a great time although we had to cut it short because of unexpected commitments back at work. We had an unusual check-in experience because someone had pilfered our key but the staff were very friendly and took everything in their stride. Our cabin was right on the waterfront with one of the loveliest vistas in the country. The beds were particularly good and I caught up on some sleep in this restful setting. We loved the stay and hope to return.

This is a lovely caravan park, in a lovely area, close to the water. There are different levels of cabin accommodation, unfortunately as a single traveller i selected one of the cheaper options. it was cold, under a tree with branches, tree little falling on the roof continually. The area is quiet but the birds aren't.

Great location. Disappointing park.
We booked a beach front chalet, these are very old & needs lots of TLC, not what we were expecting. We managed to get into another available chalet paying for a upgrade . This was much nicer & newer. The park really is in need of some work. No reflection on the mgr who was very helpful & courteous during our 1 week stay. It could be awesome if they introduced a few things - family BBQ areas, decent playground & jumping pillow etc into this superb location.

Response from Kathy, Manager on 18 Apr,2022
Thank you for your review Simon, all feedback is greatly appreciated. Your original booking was for a 2 bedroom ensuite chalet which aren't as nice as the beachfront villas. We are constantly working on improving the park, but it just takes time. We have a BBQ area in the camp kitchen and a playground in the park and there is also one just outside the park near the beach.

Great location but not that well maintained
The unit we stayed in was in need of a bit of repair, the flooring was very old, front door and fly screen door were old and did not close easily, the bathroom vanity basin pop up plug was broken and the furniture was generally old. Some of the bedding appeared to not have been changed as there were hairs on one of the pillows when we got to the property. Lots of spider webs on the patio area that was not that clean. The lawn and gardens in the vicinity of the property were not that well maintained.
