Very good

The park itself is lovely, lots of wildlife where we were. The cabin was grotty and they had the most uncomfortable beds I have ever slept on, I tried every bed and would have been more comfortable outside on the gravel. The sheets had ink stains on them, the curtains were dirty. The couch was comfortable and clean, the bathroom was clean and the shower was great. Think the cleaners need to lift there game and learn how to make beds let alone clean the cabins. 2 bedroom cabin was not suitable for more then 3 people as it is tiny.

Really friendly staff. Great location to access the city, Belconnen and different attractions in Canberra. The park is in a nice bush area and the pool and other amenities are good. The bar/restaurant area is well set up. Pizzas are big and the toppings generous. The buffet breakfast was good, except for the instant coffee. You pay extra for a barista coffee. The main drawback was the cabin. It was clean, but too small for a family of 5 with older teenage kids. The cabin was essentially a caravan without wheels and was showing its age. The toilet barely flushed, and the seat was not attached. Taps in the shower and basin were loose. It was bearable for one night, but it would be uncomfortable to stay in for longer.
Staff were friendly and helpful upon arrival.
Facilities were great and walking track options a nice addition.
The downsides were no soap or dishwash supplied in our cabin, and bedding beneath sheets was unclean.
Stayed at the Villa, they are fantastic.
lots to do on site and its great for kids young to old.

A lovely spot, but somethings were amiss. It was noisy and the pool is nowhere big enough for the size of the park. One afternoon there was more than 30 bodies in the pool and it was chaotic and the water mirky. When the park is so busy the restaurant (more like a pub) needs to be open for lunch as well as dinner and the meals were ordinary. There was a couple of things missing from the cabin. The fire alarm was faulty and kept going off. We were there for one week and the cabin was not cleaned for the entire week. Some of the staff could not speak English well enough to communicate. The gardens around our area needed weeding.
On a good note though, check-in staff were wonderful and when I needed something the response was immediate.

The fridge wasn't cleaned out stale milk and grapes in it.
Wall looked like someone had sprayed drink on it.
This is the 3rd time we have stayed, and every other time the cabins were clean and tidy.
Let's hope this was only due to high flow time with the park being full.
Had an excellent time here at the park during our time in Canberra. The facilities and activities for kids and families were a huge hit

Loved the location, so quiet and felt like being in the bush yet so close to everything we wanted to drive to.
The pool and games room and outdoor activities were great.
The verandah is fantastic with a huge deck, great buffet breakfast and dinner. Happy hour drinks. Great to be able to have a drink on the deck and watch kids in the pool. Coffee was great too.
Only thing that would’ve improved our stay was we cooked in our cabin a number of nights. No sharp knife for food prep and no spatula/egg flipper for lifting food in frypan.
Enjoyed our stay with 3 grandchildren. They had the best time in the swimming pools and water park. Food was great at the Verandah as well.
Only a small negative is that, even though we were 5 people and there was space, the cabin area was so small. Rooms were dated but extremely clean.
We will return but next time book a villa.
