Hostile and dismissive treatment
I regret staying at Andrew and Beth's Hipcamp at Marion Bay. While Beth was friendly and polite, Andrew’s behaviour was shocking and anything but hospitable.
After four nights of camping, on the morning of our departure, I faced an emergency. Our camper toilet was completely full, and I urgently needed to go. I mustered the courage to politely ask if I could use their toilet, explaining the situation was an emergency and knowing I wouldn’t make it to town in time.
Andrew’s response was rude and dismissive. He stated that campers needed to be self-contained and that my situation wasn’t his problem. He also mentioned they had visitors and couldn’t possibly allow me to use their bathroom. I fully understand the self-contained policy, and we have been completely self contained for the four days there, but emergencies happen, and the way he handled the situation—cold, judgmental, and downright hostile—was appalling.
After I walked away, Andrew came over to the shed opposite our site and glared at us in a way that felt intimidating, creepy and unwelcoming. It seemed like he was trying to ensure I wouldn’t go on the campsite, adding to the discomfort of an already humiliating experience. I won't return due to being treated this way.

Beth and Andy are lovely hosts. They were very welcoming and accommodating. Our group had a great time staying at their property

Camping at Reefs Ocean Retreat
My partner and I loved camping at Beth & Andrews land! There was plenty of room so we had lots of space to ourselves and then really appreciated the small walk to the beach which we basically had to ourselves the whole time! The jetty and pub were also a short walk away and there were Markets on near the Community Centre so we treated ourselves to some whiting tortillas from there!
Absolutely loved our stay and had a fantastic time. Would return again for sure!
Thankyou for having us Beth & Andrew 😊

Amazing location, beach access, walking distance to town. Check in was easy, and the hosts were super chill and friendly. Will be back!!
