Our stay at the park was a mix of enjoyment and frustration. While the family-friendly atmosphere and the splash park were a big hit with the kids, we faced several issues with cleanliness in our cabin and inconsistent pool access rules. Overall, it seemed quite overpriced for what was provided, especially regarding the accommodations. The park is bustling and certainly has strong points, but there's definitely room for improvements.

Rooms

The cabin was small and had ants everywhere, which made for an uncomfortable stay. We expected better for the price.

Service

The reception staff was helpful when we raised our concerns, although I think they should have been aware of the wristband policy for younger children.

The park is located right next to the beach, which was a definite highlight and made for fun family outings.

The Shack Cafe was a nice spot for meals, and we particularly enjoyed the ice creams from the Strawberries Galore van on site.

I had a pretty disappointing experience during my stay. The cabin we checked into was not clean at all, and even though the bed was comfortable, the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed overwhelmed and not particularly helpful when we raised our concerns. The grounds were nice, but I wouldn't recommend staying here if you prioritize cleanliness.

Rooms

5.0

The cabin was dirty upon arrival, with filthy floors and outdated fixtures. The single beds were uncomfortable, and there was noticeable wear and tear.

Service

5.0

The staff were not very responsive to our concerns about cleanliness and did not assist us in addressing our issues. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

Location

6.0

The park itself is spread out, and although the grounds are nice, it was inconvenient to navigate with kids and a wheelchair due to steep curbs and blocked paths.

Dining

Facilities

5.0

While the amenities looked good, the paths were often obstructed, making it difficult to enjoy the facilities. Additionally, the lack of adequate disabled facilities was quite surprising for a park of this size.

Our recent stay at the park was mostly positive, with an amazing location right on the beachfront and a clean, well-maintained park. The amenities for kids were a definite highlight, and the activities available kept everyone entertained. However, we did face some issues with the laundry not being open and a lack of clear communication regarding that, which dampened the experience slightly.

Rooms

The site we stayed on was right on the beachfront, which was fantastic, but some safety concerns arose with the setup of the beds as the ladders had poles that could be a problem for kids.

Service

The staff was accommodating in trying to open the laundry for us, but the communication could have been more clear as we ended up waiting longer than expected.

The park is ideally located right near the beach with easy access to a lovely walking trail along the foreshore, making it convenient for families wanting to explore.

I've been coming to this hotel for over 20 years with my family, drawn by its fantastic location and fun vibe. However, I must admit that the amenities, particularly on 12th Avenue, are in dire need of a refresh. The toilets and showers were leaking water all over the floors, and the laundry facilities were outdated and often out of order. Considering the price we pay to stay here, I really think they need to invest more in maintenance to match the beautiful location.

Rooms

The rooms were cozy but could certainly use an update, especially given that we encountered some issues like ants in our cabin and a forgotten kettle.

Our stay was fantastic with plenty of activities for the kids and easy access to the beach. The spacious sites and clean amenities were definitely highlights. However, I faced some challenges with wheelchair accessibility at a few locations within the park, which could use improvement. Overall, it's a great spot for families looking to explore.
