Beautifully kept grounds ~ you can see the work that is put into it to keep the grass so green and the amenities spotless.
Nicest laundry/toilets we have seen on our trip and recommend the walk down to the water’s edge.
Highly recommend but be aware that it is on a busy road so noise at the cliff top sites is dependant on the wind

really liked the place , it’s very spacious and has two lakes.
We only used one of the lakes because someone was camping right at the entrance of the other one, which felt a bit strange as it didn’t really give others a chance to launch their kayaks. Luckily, there was another lake available.
I absolutely loved the alpacas/llamas , they were adorable and such a lovely, unexpected highlight of the stay.
I would definitely stay there again 🙂

Lovely space to get away from everything.
Jenna and her two children came to say hello and gave us some carrots to feed their horses.
Nice area in Milang Bay and only a short walk to a few shops, cafe, takeout and pub.
Thanks Jenna :-)

This place was beautiful!
Quiet, secluded and peaceful. Our family had a great time, sitting by the fire enjoying the kids do some fishing.
The kangaroos made a brief appearance and we were also greeted by some livestock.
A great place to be off grid for a couple of days!
