Eureka Stockade Holiday Park
Beds were comfy and location was good. Villa was tiny tiny tiny! Barely space to walk around the beds. Really noisy as well, the road nearby must be part of the hoon blockie route. Games room was poor, with only 4-5 out of about ten games working. Wouldn't stay again.

The Eastern Hotel Accommodations
Staff were amazing. Let us in a couple of hours earlier than expected. Very close walk to the train station. It was perfect for a 1 night stop over. The rooms are basic but the budget price reflects this. Older building. Nice pub and coffee shop

Parrot's on the creek .
The host is very deceptive, it is advertised to be a 4 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, it's a 3 bedroom and one bedroom is leased to a tenant. Only 2 bedrooms available with only bathroom available is an ensuite. Certainly not enough beds for the 6 people booking. I had to find other accommodation ...
