"My biggest complaint is to Hotels.com and not the Kempsey City Center. I made the reservation and paid about six weeks in advance using the Hotels.com app. But the app never showed the reservation. Luckily I had copied the itinerary # so had that. On the day of checkin I tried to find it, couldn’t and no one else on Hotels.com could either. Fortunately when we arrived the hotel did indeed have our paid ressie so Hotels.com wasted much of my time plus worry and frustration over a ressie that YOU couldn’t find. The hotel was a tad noisy. They only had instant coffee. They have Netflix but the previous guest didn’t sign out and it took an hour to resolve. They say they had continental breakfast but it wasn’t clear that you had to order it the night before to be delivered to your room."

"This location is stunning. Surrounded by a river, pond, green paddocks and mountains in the distance. Apparently, though I missed it there is a pod of dolphins that swim by at 5.30 in the morning. I sat and reflecte on the verandah and was very comfortable in the cabin. Not a fishing person, but toured conveniently to South west rocks, hat head and crescent head. Met up with friends in Kempsey. I recommend it for all nature lovers."

"My husband and I love Crescent Head and the location of the caravan park and have stayed there many times.I booked a Lakeside cabin with queen bed and double bed for two nights but our cabin had adouble bed and triple bunks. We accepted the booking because it was only two nights and we were meeting up with friends but because we are older and I have mobility issues we did not sleep well and the shower had no pressure and barely warm.
