Batchelor Holiday Park

Great little park and great location however toilet block looked like it was built 1800s dirty and lit by xmas fairy lights. Saw 1 guy shaving by shining torch at mirror. 1 out of 10 toilet block substandard. Stayed Sept 22. Would have been 10 out of 10 with nice toilet block

Booked 5 nights to see the sights around Batchelor and checking was such a warm welcoming experience with the new owners. We chose to have a powered site in the stunning lush tropical bush area which has huge big sites. The park is spacious and well equipped and the pool is well maintained, we really enjoyed our swim and chat with the owners who gifted us some freshly caught fish! My gosh, we were going to move on to different parks while we wait for property settlement but the owners offered us an alternative option for a longer term which we gratefully have accepted. Will write another review in another month when we expect to finally move in to our new home

We wanted a short break and not far away so we checked around and we picked the Bachelor Holiday Park. We heard there was a new management and we gave it a go. We were very pleased with our dec ision because we had a great break and we enjoyed the park very much. We were with another 8m friends and we stayed in 3 villas. The accomodation was very clean, all utensils and crocery were brand new, the palce is clean, with large grassed areas and lots of trees. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The BBQs were fantastic and we enjoyed cooking there. Overall the park was excellent and we will c vertainly come back again and we recommended to all our friends and tourists. thank yiou guys.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom "luxury" villa and all I can say that, whilst these may have been luxury when they were built, they are desperately outdated now. The bathroom looked like something out of the 1980s and the bright fluorescent lighting as unappealing. It was clear that they were short-staffed and the cleaning of the villa was not good - plenty of cobwebs and dead bugs in the corners of each room and dust in the wardrobes. The pool was so uninviting that we never dared venture anywhere near it. We used the laundry and the central amenities block looked like a 1970s school yard toilet block. There were 3 washing machines and only 1 dryer - thankfully we got in early and managed to get our washing done. The owner is a nice old bloke - friendly and helpful - but he is clearly at the end of his working life and probably overwhelmed by what needs to be done to bring it up to standard again. Hopefully, he can sell it to a chain/franchise and they can invest the money needed to make this place great again.

We booked an ensuite powered site for 2 nights as we thought it would be nice to have our own toilet and shower. The large grassy site was nice, but the ensuite was not worth it. Due to staff shortages, we had to go and ask for toilet paper and soap, and clean the basins ourselves (the outside one was filthy and clearly hadn't been cleaned in quite some time). The shower was barely lukewarm, so we ended up using the communal showers anyway, which were primitive and uninviting. The communal bbq was disgustingly dirty, the camp kitchen very basic, there's no dump point (although there's one in town), and the wifi was useless. If I came to this area again, I would definitely stay elsewhere.

On arrival we were told we did not have a booking. We proved that we did and had paid a 50% deposit. The cabin was hotter inside than outside even with the air conditioner on its coolest setting. It was sited to get the full force of the afternoon sun. The double bed was pushed against the wall and could not be moved out without blocking the doorway to the bathroom. The sheets on the single and bunk beds were dirty. Although the cabin slept 5 there was only enough cutlery for 2 people. The shower alcove and shower head were mouldy. The light fitting was full of insects.
