This park is really nice. We stayed in a small cabin and we really enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. We strolled around the property and enjoyed seeing kangaroos and koalas as well as numerous types of birds. The staff at the desk are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Come for animals and staff

Absolutely loved this place. Surrounded by nature, staff ensured we knew where wildlife was and how to find/identify. Happy atmosphere extended to other guests. Unit was bigger than we needed but well fitted out.

Cabin was in a good location with a view over the fields so we could watch kangaroos in the evening. Cabin was clean. Bed was comfortable and we had extra blankets and pillows. But when we checked in credit card macine wasn't working. Had to pay cash which we were not expecting. Gas stove had a leak so it had issues plus the lighter didn't work so we couldn't cook our dinner except in the microwave. :( When we told them of the stove etc at check out, it was like they didn't believe us and the woman at reception swore after she got off a telephone call while my husband was still in the room. They could've been having some issues, but they didn't act very professional to us. We would think twice before staying here again.

The cabin was much more modernized than I thought it would be. Absolutely perfect. Clean. Everything you needed. It was great to sit on the deck and watch the wildlife walk by.

Quite, friendly staff and a lot of wildlife. We saw wild Kangaroos, Koalas in the caravan park. The Motel rooms are new - so very pleasant stay. Flinders Chase national park is just 10-15 Minutes driving away and Hanson bay (a nice swimming beach) is also less than 10 Minutes away. I fully recommend this Accommodation.

Tolle und preiswerte Unterkunft, um von hier aus den Flinders-Chase National Park zu erkunden. Es gibt einen kleinen Shop mit Essen und Getränken. Die Räume im Motel waren zweckmäßig und gut, vielleicht etwas hellhörig. Aber es ist auch kein Hotel. Einzig wenn andere Gäste zu ihren Räumen gingen, war es deutlich hörbar. Auf dem Gelände gab es mehrere Kängurus und sogar eine Koala-Mutter mit ihrem Nachwuchs.
