I must say that I have been delighted with this place, located in one of the most beautiful parks in Australia. The Cape Otway Lighthouse is 2 -3 km away. You wake up in the morning and most likely you will see a Koala at the top of the tree in front of your tent or van. The staff was really attentive.

My partner and I had a great weekend at bimbi park. The staff were friendly, there were lots of activities to do around the park. Loved pizza and movie night. Best part was seeing the koalas in the tress above the whole park. I totally recommend the park, and we will definitely go back with the family.
Thank you to all the staff on site, you all make it and enjoyable stay.

Only stayed 1 night in a 2 bedroom cabin, but beds were comfy and cabin had all the basics we needed. Wifi and data is very limited (wifi only near reception, data - on Optus - only in a few places, not inside cabin!).
My son enjoyed getting some amazing night photography of the stars due to area being very low light pollution!

I rented a campervan and loved my stay at Bimbi Park! The campervans are so cute - designed and painted by an artist - and have all the necessary amenities. The bed was super comfortable and there is outdoor seating. I spotted a few koalas and knowing that I was sleeping "amongst" them was pretty cool! Highly recommend!

It is set in beautiful surroundings amongst eucalyptus trees. Amenities were excellent. We arrived late but this presented no issues for the management, all details were there for us. Would visit again

Our three bedroom unit was fantastic. Staff were helpful. The park has lots of natural vegetation and we saw koalas outside our room. The park feels welcome, safe and we’d love to spend more time here next time. The outdoor fire pits for each site are a great touch too.

Excellent stay!
Amazing! Everything we needed. We stayed in a two bedroom cabin but just used one. Close to other cabins but staggered so we had total privacy. Loved the koalas in the caravan park! And loved the campfire and thr ability to buy everything for it in the camp store. Highly recommend!
