Opal Hot Springs & Holiday Park
Great room, newly renovated. Parking by the cabins was a bit confusing though. Got our parking spot taken over when we went to town for dinner and came back to another vehicle parked in front of our cabin.

VR Hamilton
Parking was a nightmare. Not too mention having to pay $20 a night just for parking. Really hard to get in and and when there's other cars. Hot water from the tap was so boiling hot i actually burnt my hand. Room was really spacious and bed was confidant enough. Didn't feel confidant having showers ...
