Firstly, I need to clarify this 4 star review constitutes 4 stars within context. It's not 4 stars for accommodation overall, it's within the cabin/caravan park environment! So, don't compare it to a spa resort or a funky inner city apartment. It's a cabin park full of cabins...
Having said that, I was really impressed with it in many ways. Here is my list of great things:
- easy to find.
- friendly and helpful on phone when booking (even when I changed it from 3 nights, 3 bed cabin, to just 2 nights and one bed and only a couple of weeks before booking - very accommodating).
- extremely welcoming and helpful at reception.
- made it clear to me that there was a man available 24/7 if i needed anything (anything?!). Considering my possibly unfounded, generalised opinion of Port Pirie and of staying there on my own, I found this rather reassuring.
- cabins spacious and very clean and neat.
- on main road in town. Easy to get to everywhere.
- enough room to put my mountain bike inside!
- loads of cabins so it's perfect for large groups to stay together.
A couple of downsides:
- all the cabins looked the same. There were big numbers on the side for identification though, but aesthetically it didn't make for a pretty setting.
- no trees or plants at all so the park was very plain looking and austere.
- the cabin park roads and paths comprised stones - not easy on my high heels.
All in all a very pleasant stay! read more
