My husband and I, booked a cabin for ourselves, in October this year(2014), to stay for two nights here, from December 25th-December 27th of the same year.
We arrived at the holiday park around 10.45am today, to find no one in the park office, so after waiting half an hour, we went up to the house. No answer, so we decided to ask other campers. No one we spoke to, had any idea where the owners were, until finally we found someone who did. It turns out that the owners had both been at the beach, the whole time, leaving the place unattended. After another half an hour of checking in, we finally got the key. And after all the waiting, being hungry, angry, and annoyed, we were disappointed to find that our cabin was as big as a walk in closet. With two bunk beds, and a small double bed, squashed in. The appliances in the room were filthy, being an old jug, and a dangerous looking toaster, and the mattress was so soft that you could feel the wooden base. I also used the toilet while I was there waiting, and it looked like it had only been surface cleaned. To cut a long story short, we got our money back , and went home(which luckily was only an hour away). The final straw was that our cabin was positioned right in the middle of two groups of rowdy drinkers, and as we don't drink, we weren't too impressed. But I think that the state of the camp, plus the blase attitude of the owners, was what made us realize that it wasn't for us. I am giving this holiday park a 1, because I have never ever in my entire life, seen such a disgraceful dump, and I wouldn't' recommend it to my cat!! It cost $45.00 pn.
