A great base to visit The Coorong
Pros:

Basic but clean. Comfortable bed and good shower. Good value for money. Goolwa is less touristy than Victor Harbour and has good access to the Coorong

Cons:

Wi fi didn’t make it to the back of the caravan park where the cabins are

Pros:

The park had good kids areas

Cons:

A very disappointing stay. We had a 2 person cabin that was well beyond use by date. no internet and when i asked about it i was told to go to camp kitchen to access, as my cabin was like a Faraday cage!!

Overall a really good stay and we will return
Pros:

The location was really good. Lots to do in the park.
Bed comfy

Cons:

A little coffee table would have been good to put our cups on while watching t.v. The shower head might have needed a clean. Behind the lounge needed a sweep
