Our stay at this family-friendly resort was fantastic! The kids had a blast with all the activities available, from the water slides to mini golf. The room was spacious, but it could use a little update. The location was convenient, with a public bus right out front, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, it's great value for a family-friendly getaway, but there were some amenities that could be improved, especially on busier days.

We had a fantastic stay in a one-bedroom cabin that was clean and well-equipped for our family. The resort offers a ton of activities for kids, but the Wi-Fi was frustratingly weak, and I wish the on-site café was open every day. Overall, it’s a perfect getaway for families with children, full of fun and activities, though it comes at a slightly higher price.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The booking was a headache because during peak season, they didn’t allow visitors unless you booked a spot at the park, which left us feeling quite frustrated. However, the facilities are lovely, including an impressive water park. Overall, it felt family-friendly, but the entry policies can really dampen the excitement for day visitors.

This resort is a gem for families! The on-site water park provided endless fun for the kids, and the spacious cabin was perfect for us. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, especially when we faced unexpected travel changes. The location is convenient with easy access to nearby shops and a bus to Airlie Beach. Just a minor downside was that the cabin felt a bit dated. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can't wait to come back!

We had a wonderful time at this family resort! The waterpark is fantastic and kept my kids entertained for hours. While our cottage was a bit dated, it was still comfortable enough for our needs. The staff went above and beyond to help us during our stay, which was a big plus. However, we did experience some issues with Wi-Fi connectivity which was a bit frustrating.
