We really loved waking up in the morning and seeing the kangaroos! The place had enough space, water and power as well. We felt welcome and even received help with a power supply adaptor. Recommended it, it close to main attractions and the public dump point.

What a beautiful private and relaxing environment. A fantastic alternative to rack and stack caravan parks in Hervey Bay. The location is excellent for exploring the city and to access the whale watching marina. Highly recommended

Lots of room so you're not crammed in like sardines like some places. Amenities were always clean and showers were hot with good pressure. Kids had fun swimming, playing tennis as well as kayaking on the dam. They had plenty of room to kick a ball around and ride their bikes. Also got to witness a newly born foal when we woke up one morning. Hosts were lovely to deal with. Would happily spend another weekend away here.

I loved having the whole place to myself and the fact that you simply drive in and pitch up. Lovely having kangaroos lolloping through and I enjoyed the peace and calm of dusk listening to the birds.

Weekend Trip to Rancho Relaxo

We stayed here for two nights in early August and found communication with Max was great. He responded quickly to any queries and concerns in regards to our 7.5m front wheel drive motorhome and whether it would be ok on the site if it was wet. The first day we stayed was good weather and we walked to the Esplanade and cafes which is about 3.5km. We set up on the grass area down from the shed which has the power and water connection. Unfortunately that night the rain bucketed down (35mm) so being cautious we moved closer to the shed onto the gravel there. Whilst the weather was unfortunate, we had no problems with the site and looking down across the trees and kangaroos was very peaceful. Max and family were very respectful and didn't hear or see them at all. Occasionally you can hear a plane fly over but not really an issue. Good spot if you don't want to stay at the cramped and noisy caravan parks in Hervey Bay.
