It’s great to see a place that welcomes pets, we didn’t have one but lovely spot to stay with your doggy.
Place was well set out glamping was good and comfortable, lovely quiet little place by the sea, sadly the fish n chip wasn’t open Sat night but found the bowling club for food.
It was easy to checkin, but I did send 2 messages without reply. But when I rang they were straight on to my request, so better to ring than message.

We stayed in the 1 bedroom cabin which was perfectly situated, clean, modern, well equipped, and so comfortable. The fire pit and BBQ area were great and location right across from the water and main jetty worked well for us. The area is peaceful with a great cafe nearby. Highly recommend!

I stayed in a safari tent with my daughter. Clean, quiet and such a fun experience for her. We loved hanging out on the deck and I loved having modern facilities while still feeling like we were camping.
Will definitely stay again

Our first glamping experience was nothing short of amazing. We stayed for a couple of nights and brought our dog, Lexi, along with us and she loved every minute of it. The site was incredibly dog-friendly, which made the whole trip that much more enjoyable for our little family.
The accommodation was spacious, clean, and beautifully set up with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There was also heating, which kept us warm during the cooler evenings.
The views from the site were absolutely stunning.
Lexi had plenty of space to roam and relax, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches that made the site pet-friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and can’t wait to come back again.

I needed to get away for a weekend and randomly chose Greenwell Point. The small cabin I was assigned was perfect for one and had everything I needed, with wonderful views. The local area is beautiful and the walk along the water was perfect for the soul. Will go again when I can.

This place was the real deal. It was spotlessly clean, with crisp white bedding, tastefully presented, and reasonably priced. We will return soon with my grandchildren and their parents. We also appreciate the acceptance of our six greyhounds (I'm only joking)— our Toy Poodle!

Overly compact 2 bed cabin
Purposely selected this property as it had 2 bedroom cabins. Unfortunately my travelling partners were unable to come, which was probably a good thing as the cabin was quite small, with a small bathroom and would've been very tight with 3 of us. During the first evening there was a cricket invasion, that appeared to access via the sliding door track. & both doors were closed.
Aside from the compact size the cabin was generally comfortable.
Location was the best aspect being right across the road from the River and within easy walking distance to the Hotel and shops.
Another friend got a single bedroom cabin that would've been almost double the size, more modern and with a large verandah.
