I found the staff of Halifax very friendly and responsive to our requests. They also offered good advice on places to see and things to do. The park is very close to shopping and beaches. The Diggers club is within walking distance if you want somewhere to go for a meal in the evenings also.

It was our first visit to Nelson Bay, nature is fascinating, lots of activities around to get engaged in, shopping is near by which was great. The only constructive feedback that I would like to share is that property needs renovations, not decently cleaned when we received the key.

Our cabins were great and spacious. The park was clean and a great location! We will be back :)

The 4 days were lovely, and the staff were excellent and very helpful. The only problem was the Wi-Fi which had intermittent dropouts, was slow and had to be signed into everyday, which was a bit annoying.

I booked a water view cabin but did not get one.No view at all but the cabin was great.We really had a great time . that was the only hiccup.They said at check in there were no more available and its because I booked with Hotels.com that there is no guarantee .I did not realise this.But over all brilliant holiday .Great location.

Good, but some things to consider
The cabins are nice and clean. We booked a two bedroom cabin for two people but they only made up one bed, assuming we were a couple I guess. My father and I prefer to sleep in separate beds though .... so we made up another bed ourselves (they left sheets which was good though). The remote batteries were dead and the plumbing is super noisy so if someone gets up early it will probably wake up the others.
If you bring more than one vehicle you need to park the extras on the public road outside.
Overall the stay was fine and the cabin very functional and clean, and the staff very nice, but it is priced the same as a 3.5 - 4 star hotel in the same town where there would be daily clean and service available if you need it after hours, pool, and plenty of parking.
Excellent beach access and recently renovated amenities. Some campers allowed noisy children to scream through grounds after 10pm, a little difficult to encourage younger ones to sleep however that is difficult for the property mangers to alter.
Wonderful air conditioning in the villas was apprecited during humid evenings. Well worth a visit!
