We were only planning on staying a couple of nights but due to circumstances beyond our control ended up being here five nights. The location is fabulous, close to so many shops, there are choices of pools, the amenities are very well maintained. It’s quiet considering the volume of patrons. We stayed in a motor home site then a cabin. We swam, we used the BBQ’s, we ate in the bistro, used the laundry all of which were great but the outstanding thing for us was the staff- particularly reception. They accommodated our tricky situation with ease and we appreciated it immensely. Thank you very much.

Beautiful view in amongst the trees. Nice toilet/change room for camping guests. Basic grassed area for camping on, power if needed. Nice spa area however extra fees to utilise. Could consider allowing guests a complimentary spa/sauna as part of the price (could increase slightly), as just for the campsite it’s a bit pricier currently.

4 nights at Sunset Heaven

For us, there was a natural beauty, a peaceful tranquility and a hospitable hostess. We enjoyed being able to soak in the sunrise colours over the valley then the changing scenery of each sunset. We also enjoyed listening to the birds and watching the parrots develop their nest. Yes, it is by a road, however, we live near a highway, so the “bits of traffic” was not an issue for us. Yes, we would recommend this spot as you are the only campers, and ( though the property can host others) we still had our space, views and privacy.

We got unlucky with the weather, sadly no view. There had been so much rain so the entry and exit was tricky and the grass long and wet. Yes you are close to the road but you are staying in a suburb, not the bush so there is going to be noises. The hosts are lovely and helpful. I can see how it would be amazing on a clear day. Unlucky with the sauna not working on the day either but spa in the rain was still good.

We stayed one night at the property in our camper van. Camp spot is flat and nicely positioned under a tree. There is access to power if needed and the bathroom is up at the house. Amazing view of the valley and we made use of the spa which was a perfect end to our day.

Really good location with an amazing view day/night. We went to camping and the sunset was stunning and at night there was plenty of stars in the sky. We didn’t use the spa package and we had a look into the facilities and we don’t think is worth it if you’re going just to spend a day there camping.

Great views! Great hospitality. Great facilities. Truly a great camp site and we will want to come back again and again. The owner Emi's thoughtfulness is also wonderful. The time spent listening to the birds chirping and following the clouds is a luxury. Sauna, spa, and rock pool to relieve fatigue. You can also get in at sunset time. The hojicha latte made by the barista was also very delicious. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Such a beautiful view, great camping spot. The spa facilities are worth it! Be aware that there is not a lot of flat ground to camp on, and the house is quite close.

Wow what amazing spa facilities! Spa, sauna, Rockpool, Japanese tea, biscuits, fresh fruit. Views are endless. Perfect trees to shade the morning sun. Had the grounds to ourselves but Emi was only a text away at all times. Will return! Very romantic!
