Amaroo Holiday Park

Amaroo Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
"2nd time we stayed in the same room #77. We enjoyed our stay. The only struggle we had since the first time we stayed is the internet. If they can make it faster would be excellent. LWe had to connect the internet to our phone to run our online business smoothly. The only thing we used property wifi is for my daughter to watch her starwars movie on the tv. The rest we used our phone data. If wifi can be improved it will be much happier. Perhaps the router where at the office and our room is quite far. Other than wifi, it was excellent. Love the location as always and the room we stayed. Will stay in the same place again next holiday. Thank you."
