The cabin was clean and spacious for 2 people. The heated mattress pad was a thoughtful touch and helped on cold evenings. Literally steps from the start of the Port Campbell Discovery Walk trail. It is also a short drive to major sights like the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, the park amenities spotless, and the riverside atmosphere quiet."

We stayed in Family Cabin 15 and had a couple of minor issues. The door lock was quite difficult to open, and some of the sheets folded on the bunk beds were unfortunately dirty. Thankfully, we only needed to use one of the beds, so it wasn’t a major issue for us. Overall, a lovely place to stay and we would happily return."
