The pool and picnic areas down the side of the property were nicely maintained and great for kids. We enjoyed walking to the beach along the path and boardwalk. Cabins were small but comfortable enough for the two of us. Friendly atmosphere, all in all, we enjoyed our short stay and would book into Lifestyle Villages Redhead again.

Couple weekend outing
Nice place and location close to the board walk to beach and coastal track. Reasonable price for the 2 night weekend stay. Self contained cabin with kitchenette, ideal for the couple with (or without) 1-2 kids, Several clubs and restaurants in vicinity, we went to Bowling Club for dinner via Coastal track

Great service by the 2 lovely ladies at the front desk. They provied us with extra info for and activites in the area. Villas were clean and kitchen had all you need for a little getaway. The beach was beautiful and only a 10 minute walk away. Overall a very pleasant stay.

My ONLY issue was that the heater didn’t work. My son and I were freezing! I almost didn’t sleep the first night because I was so cold. I used every blanket I could find in the cabin on the second night 😂 There is no one to call over the weekend to sort out an issue.

Nice location not far from the beach. Good walking track towards the beach last some wetlands. The cabin was simple and had everything you need including stove, microwave and medium size fridge. It was clean. Wardrobe was too small to lay suitcase and no drawers or shelving. Pool looked nice and clean but to cold in June to swim. Overall a good place to stay for a few nights at a reasonable price.

Good basic cabin with most things you need. Sitting on the Deck was a highlight. Bedrooms were small and not much storage and pots, pans and kitchen items were dated but everything was OK . Easy check in and check out. The onsite pool area was nice but mostly unshaded and a few ants around and the playground was good. Location was ok it was not a far drive to the unpatrolled beach which you could walk to. There was a lot of dogs which we liked. You need to drive everywhere to shops, cafes etc. Highlights were Dudley beach and its nice drive there.

Suited my needs
Check in was very friendly and helpful. Stayed in a two bedroom cabin, living area and main bedroom were a good size. Second bedroom was tiny with small bunk bed. Bathroom was adequate. Kitchen had everything needed. Parking in the space provided was impossible even with a medium sized car. Overall the park itself was mainly permanents with a few rentals. Close to Redhead beach with access from park and a short walk along track through beach vegetation and dunes.

Yes you are correct. We do try our best to inform guests that we are an over 50's lifestyle village with a small amount of cabins for accommodation purposes, and understand this arrangement is not ideal for some guests.

The place is quiet, accommodation is clean. It's close to the beach. Room are quite small. Didn't like the tri bunk. Top bunk is so close to the ceiling that my son couldn't sleep as it is hot. No fan on 2nd room, and it's too tiny. My daughter ended up sleeping in the floor.. Didn't even update the information on the cabin booklet and also the opening hours of the reception.

Our cabin was very clean and tidy. Pool area was very clean and well maintained. Easy access to beach and BBQ had everything required. Playground in need of some TLC but got the impression they may be working on that. Was a good spot for a short couple of nights stay. One recommendation would be a little convenience shop area for a few basics as I forgot to bring salt and pepper and sauce with me. That would just be an added bonus to consider.

Cabin was comfy and well a quipped. Will visit again as great value for money. Kids loved to pool area. Only thing to note is that photos showed room with bunk bed and a single but it only had a three bunk bed which was an issue with my children. Top bunk was high and very close to roof.

It was convenient and suited our needs. Very quiet. Staff extremely helpful. Name of company was different at front gate to what we booked online - thought we were in wrong place. Whole property extremely neat , clean and tidy. Cabin needed a spring clean - blanket stained and fan over bed covered in dust. Access to parking space extremely narrow. Good venue for one or two nights.

We understand the name can be confusing, we are transitioning to an over 50's lifestyle village. Our apologies for the dusty fan and thank you for the reminder for the need of a spring clean. Kind Regards

I liked how the swimming pool was nice and clean and how the house was neat when we came in. The beds and the couch were so soft and every thing was very beautiful. The aircon and fan worked very well and it was really cooling. The only problem is that the house heats up easily on hot days and its very chilly on cold days.

We cannot sleep in this property during our stay. When ever we go to toilet and open the tap , there was huge big noise and every wake up.This used to continue whole night because all the family members have to go to the toilet at any stage.
