Tracey Dyson – August 2021

We had THE best time here!!! The food was bloody incredible and restaurant quality, the staff were all amazing and the adults and grand kids could all have a swim whilst overlooking the amazing view over the town and Coral sea to boot. Our 11 grand kids (under 7) were welcomed with pencils and colouring pencils as well. Cannot thank you all enough for making Jamie’s 60th birthday so memorable. Highly recommend and thanks to Kasey at the Island gateway caravan Park for letting us know about here. We will definitely be back!! Keep.doing what you’re doing because it’s unbeatable xoxo
