Pelican Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
"I booked into the pelican park really just expecting your normal park cabin experience, especially for the price i paid. But my family and I were blown away by the quality of the family room we stayed in. It was very clean, comfortable and well appointed for a caravan park. The lady at the reception was very friendly and informative. The cabin was spacious, clean and had everything you could want, kitchen, laundry etc and a lovely balcony decking area with a beautiful view of the river. Our beds were comfortable the shower was awesome and living area was comfortable and spacious. Our only disappointment was the fact we didn't realise how awesome the place would be and only stayed one night lol. 10/10 we definitely will be back for a longer stay."
