Arrival Information
We are excited to have you visit our exceptional Park! To ensure a smooth arrival, please follow the security gate instructions provided during the booking process. On the day of your arrival, your phone number will be registered with the gate. Check-in time begins from 2pm onwards, allowing us to maintain the park’s pristine condition. Kindly refrain from arriving early and expecting the gate to open. Instead, make your way to the office where you’ll find a map of the Park displaying your assigned site details. If you have reserved a private shower and toilet or opted for on-site accommodation, you can collect your keys from the office as well. Don’t forget to return the keys to the designated box located on the shed before leaving the Park.
We want your camping experience to be amazing, so we kindly ask that you set up your camp only in the designated locations assigned to you. This helps us prevent any overbooking issues and ensures a smooth stay for everyone. However, if you have a specific reason for wanting to switch campsites, just swing by the office and chat with us beforehand. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, as long as the site is available. (This doesn’t apply to large group bookings, as we have special arrangements for those.)
If you find yourself in need of firewood during your stay and haven’t pre-booked it, no worries! Simply reach out to us before 5pm, and we’ll take care of it. You can easily pre-book your firewood by logging into your account using the instructions provided in your Confirmation email. We’ve conveniently scattered firepits throughout the park, and you’re more than welcome to move them around to suit your campsite preferences. For your convenience, we have 15kg bundles of firewood available at the office until 5pm, and they’re priced at just $15 per bundle. So go ahead and enjoy a cosy campfire evening!

You can even pre-purchase these goodies from our online store, and we’ll make sure they’re ready for you upon arrival.

About Our Resident Pets
If our dog Rosie comes to visit you, please don’t feed her and if she is annoying simply point to the house and say “go home”.
Rosie usually has her green scarf on and she will come and greet you. She is a very friendly dog and loves belly rubs.
Rosie also handles any complaints.
The other little dog that comes and visits the Park is Jimmy. He loves to play ball even though he is blind and deaf. He is an old dog that used to live here and now he comes and visits the Park, checking out who he can get to throw the ball. Jimmy gets frustrated when Rosie steals the ball and barks, just say “stop barking” and he will. Also you can tell him to “go home”. Jimmy is afraid of small children and we don’t recommend you let the young ones play with him. Both of these dogs are rescue dogs and they are best mates.
