  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Southern Cross Travellers Rest is a mixed bag of experiences. Many campers rave about the serene surroundings, spacious grounds, and friendly staff, making it a popular choice for families and groups. However, some guests have been caught off guard by unexpected events like loud parties, which disrupted the otherwise peaceful setting. The site is working on improvements, but some facilities still feel dated, and a few visitors have noted issues with cleanliness and communication.

    We recently stayed here for the long weekend. It was perfect for us- pool and jumping pillow for the kids when we were at camp, along with the bar area and kitchen with what smelt like amazing food. I am very keen to organise another trip soon!

    A great place to stay close to Agnes Water that’s quiet and scenic with the small lake. My kids loved the kayak and jumping pillow. Only down side were some of the items around the place seem dated, run down and old. Arrival was a little confusing not knowing which driveway to take once on the property. And the showers could use an extra hook for hanging and a bench to place a bag.
