The new amenities are beautifully built and make your camping experience so much more lush.
We stayed at Gentle Annie for the first time and I would highly recommend - this will be our new yearly spot
Even though we were there at a somewhat busy time there are plenty of amenities so you are not waiting.
Don’t forget your pizza oven supplies, but even if you do there’s a fridge inside with some supplies.
If your a little frantic about getting your children fed early then never fear the pizza oven runs very smoothly and quickly that you’ll be able to get it in and cooked all within 10mins and makes a fun experience for the kids, with ample seating.
Space for camping, I love that you can be as close to another camp as you like or as far from another persons camp as you like.
We camped in one of the (far) camp site along the dusty road which was actually very comfortable, and quite.
My children made friends with other campers within 2 seconds of pulling our car up to set up our tents! Amazing and they had a massive area to play in.
You have the joy of beach and river
Don’t forget your fishing, paddle boards, bodyboards etc
As we ended up staying longer than we initially thought we hadn’t packed ‘enough food’ for lunch so if your like us and love it and stay longer or If you feel like a sweet treat the cowshed cafe has yummy muffins and slices available
We also didn’t have a problem with sandflies, but also don’t forget your repellent just in case.
Thank you again Gentle Annie it was the nicest break we have had this summer holiday!!
