Korweinguboora Rec Hall and Reserve was spacious. It offered the amenities we needed as a group with first time campers. We experienced no stress when we stayed here. It was fun and safe for a group with little ones. We even organised some slip and slide fun in the massive oval.

Great place for a big group. There is an oval for kids and adults to play. There is a kitchen, a room, ladies and men's bathrooms and a big hall with cooling and heating. We have been here twice and likely will comeback.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely hall and reserve. The place is peaceful, clean and surrounded by beautiful nature. The hall had everything we needed, and our group felt very comfortable throughout the stay. The playground, open space, and quiet environment were perfect for a relaxing getaway from the city.
The hosts were very helpful, friendly, and clear with their communication. We truly appreciate their support and care for the property.
Highly recommend this place, and we would love to come back again.

It's an amazing place to stay for large groups.
A big bonus having the hall for the rainy days.
Fun nights around a roaring camp fire.
Highly recommend.

Lovely spot, surrounded by trees filled with birds and kangaroos hopping by the creek. Pet pony who loves a pay.
Generous campfire and wood offering.
Toilet a separate building off the house (50mtr walk).
Easy bike rides and access to walking trails.
Some might consider it close to house, essentially a large (pretty) backyard.
You will hear neighbors dogs barking. Owner had some music playing with friends (Sat night) but promptly turned off when kids bedtime rolled around.

It was an incredible place to stay! The locals who came around were lovely and we really enjoyed the out door space during our time there. Can reccommend for large groups. Tons of place to camp. Lovely bush walks around and the neighbours are fairly far away. We had noise fairly loud throughout the day and it wasn't loud enough to be louder than the road. The bbq was a hit and having a back room in the scouts hall came in handy and we really loved using the fallen logs and tree stumps outside for a wonderful chill seating arrangement. 10/10 would go again!
