Reviews for Parklands Marina Holiday Park
Review 1:Nothing we didn't like but did notice the trampoline is an old rectangular one which doesn't have the safety net sides that the newer ones do.
Review 2:Super clean. Cabin with double bed and bunks had plenty of space for a family of 4. Children loved the play facilities and swimming pool. Would happily return.
Review 3:Probably a little dated in the decor. A fresher colour would enhance and get rid of wood off walls. More upto date tables and chairs. The pool area with the wooden fence needs a water blast and a good lick off fresh paint on it.
Review 4:The fact there was a kitchen and Tv in the cabin. That was great. Everything we needed. Beds very comfortable. A nice experience. Great bouncy air cushion for the kids to play on.
Review 5:Nothing in the cabin outlining local attractions, restaurants, facilities or how to use the tv.
Review 6:Walking distance to very good eatery (Jolly Rodger) which I only knew about because I had been there before. Convenient parking. Onsite shop
Review 7:Lack of lighting in the area between cabins (I was in No.1) and about 9.30 went to the Ladies. Even though I had been there before and knew the path was beside the pool fence, the way was now partially blocked by a large boat with outboard motor. In my endeavour to get to the path I tripped over the railings of the playground perimeter. At 76 years I'm terrified of breaking a leg or hip, but fortunately only lost of hunk of flesh from my shin ( I had jeans on which protected me a little). The shock left me deeply distressed and very angry. I now have a bruised and tender shin which will need some care. I had no time to make a complaint as I was leaving to get the ferry in the morning. BUT, PLEASE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT LIGHTING IN THAT AREA. Boat, or no boat, that path needs to be lit.
Review 8:This was the 3rd time I stayed as the other times were most satisfactory, but this time I nearly broke my leg, or my hip, due to lack of lighting.
Review 9:I had paid in advance yet they queried this on arrival. It was a good job I had brought THEIR scanned & emailed card payment receipt with me!
Review 10:Exactly as described & functional.
Review 11:You do have to pay for wifi but minimal cost
Review 12:Neat unit with clean comfortable facilities, staff were pleasant and provided information on local area. Location down by the marina is nice.
Review 13:Excellent value, good facilities and great location, relaxing and quiet, only 10 min stroll to marina and nice bush outlook, plus friendly cat and ducks!!
Review 14:Arrived after midnight due to late ferry crossing...no problem for the very friendly staff. Very comfortable unit with everything there for a great nights sleep.
Review 15:The sheets were not the cleanest. We could have done with a hand towel in the bathroom.
Review 16:Park layout was good, location was quiet and very handy to walking tracks.
Review 17:Not Applicable
Review 18:I liked the location, it was quiet, not far from town, walking distance to the marina and the sea life in the bay (awesome). Staff were helpful and friendly. the complex was clean and tidy. Definitely coming back.
Review 19:Cleaning up the ants in the middle of the night. But that's just life. And there was a strange smell when we arrived. But went after we left the door and window open a while. Might of been the cleaning product used? Im just sensitive to smells.
Review 20:Lovely lady who was very welcoming. The cabin was very clean and comfy. Had a great time. Well set out. Lovely setting. Kids just loved the play area. Was lovely having the bed's all made up for us. A lovely unexpected surprise that was very welcomed.
Review 21:The heater was too small and no electric blanket.
Review 22:We stayed in a cabin, it's cute. Great parking for our small truck. Cabin was clean and comfortable and a little deck was a nice place to soak up some winter sun.
Review 23:The bed for me was too hard and I suffered with back problems throughout the stay, however, my husband was happy with a hard bed - although he does happen to be able to sleep anywhere. We did have a shortage of plugs as he has a CPAP breathing machine. We used an extension cord we brought with us.
Review 24:Loved the quiet and peacefulness of the units. People were friendly, talkative and pleasant. Facilities were just lovely, clean, bright, smelt nice and in the right places. Loved the fishing cleaning area and boat clean and then the parking. Just great all round. Very happy and will be there again.

Review 34:Very dated, mostly clean but shower needs cleaning above eyelevel as well (mould starts to grow higher up). Cooking on stovetop takes long and doesn't fit two larger pots/pan the same time. Amenities the bare minimum. Hostess seemed a bit uptight, didn't feel overly welcome, this changed our whole experience. Not on walking distance to town center.
Review 35:Nice surroundings with view on the hills. Outside is well maintained. Cabins are nicely spaced out and not too close to other guests accomodation.
