This is my third stay in four months, I (and my doggos) love it that much! Everything about Cooinda is perfect. It is very obvious how much the owners love and care for this beautiful property. So peaceful and relaxing and even though this trip was only two nights this time I felt I had a week off.

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

Had a great stay at Cooinda! Definitely recommend the fenced sites if you have pets or little ones. It was a nice change not to have to worry about my bub wandering out on to the road like most campgrounds. The view was also amazing and facilities were clean. We did have a lot of wasps swarm in while cooking in the evening, that’s nature! But I’d definitely check in on that first if you have allergies. I also wish I realised that groups also use the property. While our site was away from the groups they were quite noisy. The school camps were having a great time in the mornings and evenings which was fine but the footy club blasting music past 10.30pm was a little unexpected. No one’s fault, I just didn’t realise they would be there and it was a bit tricky getting the little one to sleep lol. Overall it’s a beautiful property and we had a great time, would recommend 🙂

We loved our site at Cooinda !
Amazing view , close to town facilities
Plenty of native birds to watch
This is a not for profit company and although there were groups of children present it did not effect our peaceful stay at all
I would highly recommend this site !

Absolutely great spot with phenomenal views and amazing facilities - hot showers, kitchen, fridge, toilets, etc. Super close to the main town but also further away enough so you feel close to nature. We booked site 3a which is powered as I needed access to my laptop. Would happily stay here again.

Cooinda was an amazing place to stay, awesome views, grest atmosphere. The fenced area was awesome for the children a the dog. It allowed us to relax knowing they were all safe.
The different types of camp sites or cabins to stay in offers so many options when planning our next holiday. Close to town to go shopping and outings. We are diffenantly going to book again. Close to the kids grandma for her to spend time with the kids and for us to have time with out the kids..
