About the Hotel
Accommodation Types & Features

Some units include a satellite flat-screen TV, oven, and private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. Shared bathroom facilities use token-operated showers (AUD 1 per token for 3 minutes). Many cabins overlook paddocks or bushland, and koalas are often visible from the deck.
On-Site Food Options
The park runs a coffee cart (Nathaniel's Coffee Cart) in the morning, and offers pizza nights and fish & chip nights. A snack bar sells basic groceries, drinks, and ice. The shared kitchen and BBQ facilities allow guests to cook their own meals, and a minimarket at reception stocks essentials like sauces, pasta, and toiletries.

Guests can play 18-hole mini golf, use the splash park, basketball court, badminton, table tennis, and children's playground. Movie nights, outdoor pizza and fish & chip evenings, and a magic show are held regularly.
