We really enjoyed this place. Kym was the best host. Communication great and nothing was too hard. Very helpful and friendly. The layout is cosy but great. We were surprised how much we enjoyed staying there. Plenty of animal life. Lots of birds chirping away. Grass was actually lawn 👍. We didn’t intend to spend a lot of time on site as we had a function to attend. But we did laze around for most of 2 days of our 4 days. Also……
Close to town (Hervey Bay)
Best part is security!
So unlike caravan parks and the like this property is secure. Also gated. So when we went out, we felt comfortable leaving things in and around the van as they were.
All in all we will go back there when we visit again. Certainly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

It was so quiet and peaceful the whole 4 nights we were there. The highlight of my stay was feeding the 2 Donkeys, 2 Miniature Horses and Horse carrots every afternoon.
