I would recommend an overnight stay.

The unit looked tired and in need of a face lift, We had all what was needed and towels replinished daily. The customer laundry area was filthy and in need of a clean. As a bonus there was a restaurant onsite which served delicious food.

Arrived at reception to be told that they could not honour my booking as there were no rooms available so after travelling from Perth for 10 hours or so I had to try and find other accommodation. Unfortunately, Carnarvon was totally booked out so went to the pub instead and one of the staff members there rang the Caravan Park. Luckily, there was a last minute cancellation and I was in the right place at the right time otherwise I would have been sleeping in my car! Stressed, grumpy and tired!

Charged more at check-in and told that Expedia’s prices are not correct and that we should have booked directly with them. Told that if we don’t like it, there is plenty of other people that would like the room. Room configuration was supposed to be 1 Queen and 1 Twin bed..but was allocated 1 Queen bed only, however they kindly changed the room to what we had requested. Large cobwebs clearly visible in the room. Bedside light not working and when I went to get into bed noticed there was no plug on the end of the cord, just bare wires...and this was between the mattress and the wall! Clearly we would not recommend this property, nor would we ever stay there again!

Property was fine. It was making a booking through wotif which was the problem. When arriving there was no book8ng and it cost$15 more on arrival. The property told me they do not use wotif or other online booking companies. So really unsure on what when how? Great place to overnight though. Zero complaints on the place
