Comfotable and clean.
Pros:

After reading mixed reviews, I wasnt sure as to what to expect. Shouldnt have worried. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cabin was clean and comfortable, even though it was a little tired. No complaints and would definitely stay there again. We were in cabin 2.

Great caravan park with exceptional staff. Totally deserving of a 5 star rating.
Pros:

The location was great and so was our cabin. However, nothing compares to the staff who absolutely went out of their way to make us feel welcome, despite us requesting a few minor issues to be fixed. Nothing was too much trouble, and to top it off, the lady caretaker provided us with a dessert for our tea! That made our day.

Cons:

Nothing

Perfect little long weekend getaway!
Pros:

Breakfast was easy to find in town just a 2minute drive from the property.
Lots of little cafes to choose from, along with local bakeries.
The lunch options were endless. With the workers club, and local pubs to sit at with beautiful views of the lake and places for the kids to move in the play areas along with on the grass areas.
Kids absolutely loved fishing off the jetty at the park.
