Arrawarra Otelleri

We stayed in the Gumnut villa which was absolutely horrible. The toilet was flooding the bathroom floor, the shower head in the ensuite was like being hosed by a fire hydrant. The toilet in the ensuite felt tiny, like it was meant for young children. There was an ants nest in the light above the master bed which was dripping ants and nest pieces on me throughout the night so we moved the bed out of the way. The fan in that room was vibrating so bad that it would shake more ants onto the bed. The aircon was working but I don't think the room was insulated so it was never enough. We had two fans running to try and push cool air into the kids room for the entire week we were there. The matresses felt absolutely horrible and felt like I was going to roll off the bed each time I move. There was some mould on the bedroom walls. The whole cabin was just old, outdated and very worn. The wifi hardly worked which was not so great because there was also no cell service in most of the park. Great if you want to have no connection but not so great when you need to use the internet to search for places to go and things to see in the area. Why am I giving it 4 stars? Because of Jan! The staff there were amazing! Jan tried to do everything in her power (and then some!) To try and help us out. She was incredible! The facilities were also great! Lots for the kids to do, direct beach access, kangaroos all over the place, pools, water play equipment, slides, tennis courts, archery, go karts, all great fun! The bikes are old and pretty run down so not worth renting. Thanks again to Jan! We hope to stay here again but in one of the more modern cabins (or in our own tent).

We chose to stay in a deluxe two-bedroom cabin. It was in a lovely location with the outdoor decking facing the stream. The cabin was spacious and clean, and there was direct beach access just a short walk through the caravan park. There is plenty to occupy the kids including a water splash area with a dumping bucket and a jumping pillow. Emerald Beach is a small town with only a few shops. If you are needing supplies there are supermarkets in nearby Woolgoolga, and eight-minute drive north.

The name suggested something slightly sophisticated with maybe French styled rooms but no. It’s an ordinary new 2 storey house with a lift to the upper level of guest rooms. The lift got us up but the owner told us it was broken for any self operated use. That wasn’t a problem. The room was small with outlook to the adjoining houses roof and clothesline. We were the only guests on the day so why put us in such a poor room. It was bland with a wall mounted TV. The bathroom is tight with a shower door that’s difficult to enter and exit. The bed was a queen and comfortable enough. We were tired after a long day driving from Sydney so just wanted to rest, watch TV and eat some takeaway food. We sat in the upstairs guest area, again with no view. The lighting everywhere is laboratory white LED downlights. They were uncomfortable so we turned off the over head ones and turned on the ones over the stair behind us. The owner then appeared and without a word turned off that light and turned on the ones above us. When told him why he launched into telling us how much he paid in power bills and so he turned off all “unnecessary” lights. We pointed out that we had no lights over us. He then said the light over the stair turned on a hall light downstairs. So I pointed out that we were paying $185 for the night to which he replied he didn’t get all that. Then straight away he offered to refund the tariff if we moved out. All over a light that would have cost 10 cents in power. We decided to stay. Too much trouble to change at the late hour but the incident kept me awake for hours. We left as quickly as possible in the morning without breakfast. What could have been an ok stay turned into a really unpleasant experience. Stay at Sansom Resort. Which I also have reviewed.

It’s a holiday cabin, it’s better to go in the summer, go out through a few small trees that are beaches, and lucky to see the dolphins. At night, I always feel that there are animals knocking on the door. There is always a sound.
