Perfect location to manuka (amazing part of the city)! We stayed in winter, and the heating was really great. Beds comfy, and all very clean. Lorna at the front desk was lovely. Happy to help out with anything we needed. We arrived quite late at night and she waited for us, to give us the key and boom gate swipe.... More

Don't worry about the bad reviews - stayed here with a group of my friends and thoroughly enjoyed! The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating with all of our requests and the value was fantastic. The cabins were clean, had all the utilities we could possibly want and location was good as it was not far to the centre of... More

We stayed in a standard two bedroom cabin which was very clean, lots of hot water, hard bed was to hard we both had a very broken night sleep and woke with a sore back. Very quite. Not sure if would stay again. Old looking but you get what you pay for!

Pros - Position to Canberra and main site seeing Old but clean ammenities block Indifferent The office staff - Yes they really are just going through the motions The powered site area not maintained in fact pretty run down Confronting The ammount of permanents living in the park and the condition of many of the dwellings Annoying No shower curtain...

We hated this park the minute we pulled up because they had caged birds outside, which there is absolutely no need for. The caravan area was tatty and hardly a blade of grass to be seen, it was more a patch of mud. The staff on reception treated us like inconveniences and when we dared to ask about bus times,... More

We were looking for a camp-site close to the centre of Canberra for a visit to the national gallery of Australia. Despite one bad review we decided to give it a go and we were glad that we did. We were late in arriving but had rung ahead to tell them so. When we arrived we were welcomed warmly and... More

we will never stop in this Caravan Park, it's a dive and the staff are in need of a holiday. My advise is to look before you book. No one can see the van location from the road. Their concrete slabs are all broken up, could be a trip hazzard

Stayed in a self-contained cabin (2 adults, 3 kids). It was okay value, but the reception service was average - got the impression that the people didn't really want to be working there. Was fairly easy access to the places that we wanted to go. Was quite noisy - could always hear the traffic on the highways around it.

The facilities for powered sites were very clean. That was the only good thing about our stay. Right at the beginning of the park is a bottle shop with some weird looking men sitting in front of it and watching each passerby. Those men looked like they were drinking all their life and don't have anything to live for. I... More

We are caravanners with about 10 years experience. We have been to many parks over the years, many in remote areas and regional towns, the owners here should take to road and check out some other parks to see what a friendly welcoming park looks like. Time to retire. The park sites are so old and neglected, no gardens, no... More
