We do not permit campfires on individual sites; however, we have a communal fire pit located in our entertainment precinct for our guests to enjoy.  

Bikes, Scooters & Skateboards 
We want kids of all ages to be active and enjoy our beautiful park and grounds so non-motorised wheeled transport is welcome. Please note gardens, grass areas, in between accommodation, our timber decks, and the front of the park near the boom gates are strictly out of bounds. The entire park is a shared zone and all vehicles (biked included) must adhere to the park rules – speeding and reckless behaviour will not be tolerated. Once the sun goes down, bikes, scooters and skateboards need to be safely put away until 7:30am the following morning.

The Lake is clearly identified on our site plan and strict supervision should be maintained to prevent children and non-swimmers from gaining access.

LOSS OF GUESTS’ PROPERTY - Traveller Accommodation Providers (Liability) Act 2001. This Act changes the common law about Innkeeper's liability. Under the Act, an accommodation provider may be liable to make good any loss of a guest's property in certain circumstances even though the loss is not caused by the fault of the accommodation provider, or the provider's agent. This is limited to $250 for each accommodation unit provided for the use of the guest on the day, unless the guest/s property was placed in safe custody facilities. This does not cover motor vehicles and things owned by the guest left in or on motor vehicles.
