Great short stay with an excellent view.
Pros:

Excellent view - lakefront accommodation.

Cons:

Mattress in the main room wasn't greatly supportive/firm. It would be also great if extra blankets and pillows could be stored in the cupboards.

Cabins were older but well kept and clean

OK for an overnight stay
Pros:

Waterfront location. Friendly and helpful staff - local info for dinner venues. We chose to upgrade to a bigger cabin at extra cost.

Cons:

Only one waffle blanket on beds in second room so had to run the noisy A/C at night. Bug in kitchen cupboard. No milk in cabin and couldn’t make tea. Pricey for what we got.

The cabin could use some work but in the off season it’s a cracking spot.
Pros:

The Lakeside Family Cabin has prime position in the park. It’s definately good value for money. And has the most space out of all cabins in the park.
The groundskeeper is an absolute legend and needs a pay rise. Nothing was an issue to fix or deal with.

Cons:

The cabin is very outdated. There are missing screens and broken screens on the bunk windows.
Unfortunately we had to go and buy our own cereal bowls as there was only one in the cupboard. For a family cabin there really should be a better inventory on kitchen utensils.
We had 2 adults and three kids booked in but only had 4 towels provided and 3 blankets and the office was always closed and unattended to get more.
One of the chairs on the balcony is broken.
A bigger hot water system needs to be put in for a family cabin. We are very mindful of not wasting water but had to have very quick showers on a schedule split am and pm so everyone had hot water.
