Reviews
"We use this place every year for our Choir Camp. It suits our purpose admirably. It's always clean & fresh. The kitchen is excellent."
"What an amazing place for camping! YMCA always have great locations, and the lodge size makes it manageable for them to always keep an eye on the kids. There's an air rifle shooting range, a climbing wall, mountain bike tracks, heaps of terrain to explore around hills and farmland, and a beach just below with shallow and calm waters to kayak on. The facilities are clean, and offer all the kids need to have a blast."
"Beautiful beach!! Come here once a year with my inlaws and my sons has the time if his life sooo much space to spread out. Take a trip in your free time."
"Came here for a night camp with our school. Facilities were great and the instructors/ staff were amazing. Very friendly and great with the kids. There were a range of activities and the children enjoyed everything. Highly recommend coming here."
"Great place for a school camp. The facilities were great and the team were outstanding, guiding the children through the activities, building their confidence and above all, keeping them safe while having fun! Thanks Team!"
