Cheap, clean, odd layout that you had to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the bathroom. Beds were comfy but other furnishings were old and hot plates in the kitchen hardly worked.

The unit we stayed was okay, but The aircon was so noisy, kept us all other kids awake all night, staff were really friendly & helpful though. The bed & mattress runs away when you try to sit on it. Average stay.

Didn’t like smoke alarm twice during the night. Thought maintenance was not up to scratch. Was hugely more expensive than all the other places we stayed and was my least favourite.

Liked everything. We were in the cabin section and it was very nice and quiet. Disappointed that we did not see a platypus in the creek that runs through the park.

The cabin that was on the Expedia site looked very different to the cabin we were given. The cabin was old and needed some maintenance. It provided all our needs as far as utilities and it was clean. It was described to us as the Tradies Cabin but the list at the Holiday Retreat did not list a cabin of that name. Maybe Expedia should enquire what cabins are available so there is no confusion for other travellers.

Hi PamelaThe Tradie cabins are older style and that is the cabin you booked. They are much more affordable and a minimum three nights.
