Poor customer service. I called 4-5times to ensure we have a good selective of cabin as more cabins got available on wotif to book... but no clear answer. Just said what we have booked is the best. But NO!!! When we went there our cabin was in front of the yucky scary lagoon. On wotif there were other cabins available on wotif at the time I called... I wish the customer service offered clear understanding and helped make a change to our booking. Previously we stayed at Discovery Parks in Dubbo which was a super fabulous experience hence this time we didn't even look out any other place for accommodation knowing Discovery Parks is here in Forster. Also... the Cabin wise... the dishwasher didn't have buttons to operate properly... had to use a pen tip to push the button!! Like seriously???? This is what we get for spending more than $800 for just two nights!!!???? What a bigget rip off. Will need to think back before we ever choose to stay here again. No bin liners were in the bin. Had to go ask for them with the linen/cleaning staff. Only 2 towels... for 4 people... for 2 night stay!!

Lovely location. Amazing that it is dog friendly, our dog had the best time. Unit was a bit dated but exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We were unaware however that our cabin was not stand alone and the neighbours we had were extremely noisy. You are able to hear the neighbours talking clearly within the unit. If that was not the case it would have been beautiful and tranquil here. We would come again but book a different cabin hopefully!

Friendly staff & a good location. Cabin was clean but needs a bit of love.It had caked on spills between stove & bench, mould along shower door seal, fungus growing on kitchen window & uplifting floor coverings. The front wooden steps need repair before they break under strain.

The reception to this park was a little confusing to find. However the overall stay was excellent. Cabin was fantastic and had plenty of room. The bathroom was designed for wheelchair access. The park is right near a river which can be accessed for fishing , kayaking etc. The park has its own cafe which was very convenient.

We were so pleased with the cabin (2 bedroom standard) it had everything you could need. The space was so clean, comfortable and in a great location to all the parks amenities. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. It really does have something from everyone, the playground and bike track were absolutely phenomenal and a hit for my kids (2 and 3 years) Our doggo absolutely loved the off leash area, it was huge and a great space for her to let off some energy. Our only negative was we went in winter so couldn’t enjoy the beautiful pool or splash park and we definitely didn’t stay long enough. We honestly can’t wait to come back- thank you so much for having us.

We liked the fact that you could go down to the river and have a fish. It was also convenient that there was an excellent cafe on site as well. The cabin was generously sized, modern and fresh. Pretty much had everything you needed for cooking, a BBQ nearby, and a big enough fridge to fit all the essentials in.
