Our stay at the caravan site was fantastic! The amenities were impressive, especially the showers, and the kids loved the games room. The location right across from Shoal Bay was perfect for beach walks. However, another family had a troubling experience with a buzzing noise in their villa that disrupted their sleep, so it seems like there might be some maintenance issues to address.

I had a wonderful time at Shoal Bay Holiday Park! The location is unbeatable, just a stone's throw from the beautiful Shoal Bay beach, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff went above and beyond to help us during our stay, especially when the weather turned and they quickly upgraded us to a cabin for a reasonable rate. However, I wish the rooms had more storage space for our belongings, and we experienced a few amenities that could use an upgrade. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a family vacation with lots to explore nearby.

I had a wonderful stay in this caravan park, perfect for our reunion with friends. The cabins were clean and spacious, and the overall vibe was very quiet and peaceful. Plus, being just a three-minute walk from the town center with shops and cafes made it super convenient. However, some noise in the mornings from other guests could be improved, especially early with port-o-loo trips.

The amenities were well maintained, though I noticed fewer toilet cubicles this time, leading to some waiting during peak morning hours.

We had mixed feelings about our stay. The location was fantastic, being close to the beach and restaurants, and the park was generally clean and well-maintained. However, the facilities could use some improvements, especially the camp kitchen and game area, which felt outdated and limited. It's a decent option for families with young kids, but we found ourselves looking for more during our visit.

The entire park was clean, and the bathroom facilities were well-kept, but the overall room atmosphere lacked character.

We didn't have much to say about dining since the choices were limited; we didn't find a great restaurant inside.

While the half-size tennis court was a nice touch, the camp kitchen felt old and uninviting, and the game room was filled with cheap toy machines.
