An adequate holiday park for our purpose. 6-bed cabin is suitable with all essentials required for a stay. Traffic noise more noticeable on a work day than over a weekend. With a vehicle most things are within easy reach. Without you're better to stay central.

The park is ideally located 15 mins away from airport and the city of Hobart. With a hire car, one can stay close to the city yet on contact with nature & wildlife. Will stay here in future trips too. The unit was clean and tidy.

Despite booking early in the year, we ended up here as all Hobart accommodation was taken for the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and 'Taste'. Location is good - on the north side with easy access to the city, Richmond and Port Arthur. Cabins are very basic but clean. We were a family group and had one of the "superior"... More

this was our first place we stayed in Hobart and i cant say i was too impressed, very dated and too far out of the way. it was fairly noisy as well. some of the attractions to the park were broken or removed.

We chose to book 2 standard cabins for 2 couples for 6 nights ( wanted our personal space) We were given 6 berth cabins which had been recently upgraded from budget to standard by adding a full size fridge and stove.. We had also stayed in standard cabins in Discovery Hadspen and Devonport. This was not quite up to that... More

This park was the second leg of our Tasmanian adventure. Again we were not disappointed. Great location, easy to tour from, good clean cabin and great laundry facilities. The staff were very helpful and there is a great range of brochures available for guests. We easily did day trips down to Geeveston, Port Arthur and obviously discovered the magic of... More

Further out of town than I thought when booking, but VERY lovely staff and place. Clean well-designed layout of cabin. I think we got the best located cabin-facing the playground, next to the laundry. We stayed 4 nights in minus temperatures, and The heater worked well. Couldn't ask for more :)

We stayed at this park for a few days in the caravan section. This section is up the back of the park and is very small, it wouldn't suit bigger vans, our 19ft van just fitted in the area, but smaller vans and small motorhomes wouldn't have any trouble. The sites are cosy with each of the six sites having... More

One bedroom has a queen bed with electric blanket and a large storage unit with shelves, hanging space, spare blankets, clothes airer, ironing board and iron.... More

We stayed one night - with a later arrival. Late arrival handled very well by staff - key left in small outdoor safe and code for safe emailed to us. Four adults (two couples) made up our group. Space was acceptable, with a decent side table, enough seating in the lounge area, and a well equipped kitchen (included dish washer/drawer).... More
