Everything - from the delightful and welcoming ladies on reception to our sparkling cabin - was great! The only downer was the almost non-existent wifi.

Safari tent was spacious and clean. The shared facilities were also cleaned regularly.
Only negative feedback was related to other guests, mainly teenage kids running around the side of our tent in the middle of the night playing games. Outside of the control of the park itself.
Clean room , had all the basics perfect for weekend away and beatiful staff .

Great Safari Tent
Checkin was quick and friendly giving us a full explanation of the park. We stayed in the Safari Tent accommodation for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. They are fully self contained. The Safari tents were modern, very clean, bright and airy. The shower was great and a good size with good pressure and plenty of hot water. The tent area was very large with a queen bed, an extra rollout bed and a lounge. The tent had a full fridge, microwave and sink. While there is no table inside the covered verandah had a very nice 6 seater table. The Safari tent had a very high ceiling with good lighting and fully screened including a security door. The Safari tent was a nice change from an apartment or a hotel room. The park is a very easy 2 minute walk to shops and eateries with a nice beach across the road.

The park is well set out with shops and restaurants within walking distance. The facilities of tennis court, games room and camp kitchen were added helpful facilities.
The cabin we stayed had a well equipped kitchen and an outdoor verandah space with table and chairs.
A common use BBQ was located near by.
Spare batteries for the TV and DVD controllers would have been helpful.

Great place with variety of accommodation types.
We stayed in a "safari tent", a fixed tent style accommodation. This was roomy and clean with good facilities. A barbecue area was close by which was kept very clean. The entire area of the park was spotless with maintenance/cleaning staff continually doing their rounds. All staff friendly and efficient.
My first time in this type of accommodation and I found it a refreshing change from a hotel/motel room.
Shops, restaurants and beach all within easy walking distance.
There was no TV ( a plus for us) and wifi could be a little slow at times, but overall we enjoyed our few days here.
