Stayed in standard cabin which was very small, old and poorly equipped. For the extremely excessive price I expected a little bit of comfort and appliances that at least, operated correctly.

Staff were friendly and helpful at check-in. Aircon in rooms didn't cool the room at all and temp was over thirty most days. No plugs in the bedrooms to charge appliances. Ants through out the room every day even after spraying. Shower never got to a constant temp and taps were noisy. Light switch in bathroom was broken and a safety hazard for a wet area. Over priced especially the weekend rates. Over all one of the worst places I have stayed in a long time for the price. Very disappointed

Cabin was neat and tidy with all amenities. More power points are needed and the Shampoo/Conditioner needs to be changed as my hair ended up like a steelo!

Lake Bonney is lovely, facilities are good, staff are great, but the cabin is from the seventies , floor creaks, bed sags and overpriced for what it is.

We stayed in the delux sunset cabin with three toddlers & could not ask for a single thing more. Was a perfect size for our family, beds were comfortable & bath products supplied & self contained so we could cook our family tea etc. The park for children is outstanding. Beautiful lawn & gardens. Will be back very soon.
