"Great cabin - warm, comfortable and generally clean. There was a bit of mould in the bathroom (wetfloor) unfortunately. The staff were fantastic and helpful. The holiday park is lovely. It's a shame the pool/hot pool isn't open a bit later though, especially in the warmer weather (also a shame the hot pools are not free - $20 for 30 minutes). Close to town and affordable! Enjoyed our stay! "
