This is NOT A Resort! It’s a Caravan Park!! Disgusted that we paid $500 for a crappy dirty cabin in a noisy caravan park, how they can falsely advertise this as a resort is beyond comprehension. When I discussed this with staff he simply said ‘yes it’s a caravan park, the owner sets the price not me and you’ll have to contact the place you booked it through.’ The guy offered compensation for the cabin not being ready at 3pm but then didn’t follow through with giving us anything. Cost of beers were outrageous at $10 a pop, would she been nice to been offered a free meal or a beer, but nothing. Lastminute deals was also useless and took no responsibility for the misinformation for the booking and then hung up the phone on me.
