We had a powered site & the space given to us was way too small for our van, with trees way too close together which made it very difficult to get the van in & then the taps were too far away to reach with our hose. The amenities had automatic lighting which meant the lights came on too late... More

During 7 months of travel in Australia, this caravan park was probably the worst we've done. Not because of the facilities (they are good) but because of the management. They have a lot of "rules" and it doesn't matter to respect the customer, rules are more important. After 2 days in a camp site, we were supposed to leave at... More

Not a pleasant park. As English campervan owners a look of disdain was given as we checked in. We received a space too small for our van and couldn't open the boot. Facilities were airless, no fans or air vents to allow the humidity from showers to escape. Noisy till late at night, we're young and don't mind but it... More

Last place we stayed at the end of out trip through the Canning in late July. Handy location, Great campsite, ample room for tent and our 4 x 4, very considerate fellow campers, good (adequate) facilities. A little over-priced for what you get, but it was peak season after all. Helpful staff, noise from the nearby airport not appreciated early... More

We stayed here in a motel room/cabin. A little expensive for what you get (a transportable room that is not that well insulated). However, the room we used was new, clean, and was simple and self contained (minus utensils and some other bits and pieces). Basic kitchen with electric stove, just a refrigerator, tap, sink and microwave, toaster, kettle etc.... More

Stayed here from July to September. Would admit that the place goes to the dogs during the Darwin Show as the carnies come on the scene and trash the place, but with the exception of that one week we greatly enjoyed our entire stay. We found the campsite was kept up well, the staff were pleasant, and the atmosphere of... More

The one bedroom villa we stayed in for five nights was really new, clean and tastefully furnished. We had JUST enough room for a portacot in the room by pushing the bed closer to the wall - don't put anything underneath the air con as it leaks badly! Just condensation I think. Loads of tiny ginger ants so make sure... More

The caravan park is 10 km outside darwin cbd. Cbd is easy to reach, either by car or bus. The price is pretty high for the standard. The pool is tiny, the campground is dusty, no grass, just dusty sites. Staff is ok. Showers and toilets are clean after cleaning, but pretty fakst dirty because of no bitumen roads in... More

I'd like to say upfront, that the staff we dealt with were great, however the circumstances of our stay were not so great. We stayed for ten days in our caravan, and five of those days clashed with the lead-up and running of the Darwin Show. Unfortunately when we booked we were not warned that the show would be on,...
