3.0/5
Was a nice place and owners/staff very friendly and helpful.
Had a beautiful powered site by the lake which was lovely to wake up to- you can see the owners are trying to update the facilities but the ablutions are in serious need of updating - ok if you aren't in desperate need of a nice shower. Unfortunately I wasted all the hot water just trying to not either burn or freeze myself. Good as a one night stopover & lovely cafe up the street.

2.5/5
Was an ok place for a one night stopover, owners are friendly & welcoming/helpful.
However it is in need of some love and updating. We didn't use the showers but they were a bit run down, as was the kitchen facilities. Basic but not worth the $18 per person price tag. Close to the highway and trains - didn't bother us but may for some.

4.0/5
Nice place by the bay.
Have to pay for showers ($1 for 5 minutes) but this is due to it being a dry area and to conserve water, the shower pressure and temperature is pretty good though. Lovely friendly staff and there is a cafe on site. Would stay again!

4.5/5
Owner here was amazing.
Gave us a run down on the area and all the local things to see and do that we may have missed had we not known. Gave us directions to hot springs beach and lent us shovels at no cost. Nothing was too much trouble. $15 per person per night. It's a little gem in the middle of nowhere but well worth the trip. Would score 10 but facilities are in need of updating though are still usable. Would stay again!

4.5/5
Small camper van sites but great facilities.
Everything was clean, tidy, and well looked after. Staff were very friendly and helped book the Caves tour for us. Was expensive but is close to Cave tours and has pool, hot tub, and playground for children. So would be excellent for a family.
