Wouldn't return
The booking stated free wifi however from our unit we could even detect the wifi let alone join it. As I had work to complete this meant driving into town each day which defeated the purpose of staying there. When I queried this with reception they agreed the wifi was terrible and that it may work at night (it didn't). As we were situated directly next to the cafe and their signal was strong I asked if we could join their network however this was declined. The unit we were staying in was also very noisy. We could hear the people upstairs come and go, We could hear their showers and even their conversation. No ideal.

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!

Fabulous
Fantastic place to stay. So many great facilities, from the swimming pool and water park to the playground & scooter track. There are go-carts, kayaks etc to rent out, and free board games & DVDs to borrow if the weather isn’t good. Great little beach area at the side of the river too. The cafe on site is good, and there’s a big indoor camp kitchen as well as plenty of bbqs. If that’s not enough, there are plenty of organised activities during the school holidays, and you’re only a 10min drive to Nabiac or Hallidays Point. All the staff are lovely. We will definitely be going back!

Short but sweet
I wish we stayed longer, but we were driving from Sydney to the Gold Coast so just needed a place for the night. Our daughter 1yo loved the water park! The staff were super friendly and left the water on a little longer than closing as we got there late. They also turned it on early so we’re could enjoy it before we left. Everything was clean and the cabin was perfect for our little family. Would highly recommend & will be back!
