"Our aloha cabin was really lovely and comfortable. It was also super clean. The kids loved the pools and waterslide. We loved the whole park. There is a bowling club next door (food not great) or cheeky dog restaurant across the road (food great) which was handy but I would have loved a cafe on site or even just coffee. That was the only thing missing for me. Also if you could pick this park up and put it in shoal bay that would be even better cos I didn’t love the location."

"Five longtime girlfriends reconnecting over a weekend away, and this house was absolutely perfect for us. It had plenty of bedrooms, lots of space, and all the facilities we needed to relax and enjoy our time together. The location was fantastic—we could easily walk to the shops and restaurants, and the waterfront was lovely for a scenic stroll.The bottle of wine left for us was a thoughtful touch and greatly appreciated. Everyone loved the house, from its beautiful décor to its well-designed layout. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend it to others. We would happily stay here again."
