"Donโ€™t hesitate- book this. Awesome spot. You walk straight out from the caravan park onto a quiet protected beach and there are the flags to swim between whilst life guards patrol. We stayed in the deluxe family cabin with our 4 kids - it was modern, clean awesome. Great space for all of us and the kids loved the pool, spa, jumping pillow and George, the cheeky cockatoo. Fantastic."
