Top Natureland Zoo Hotel Reviews

Tahuna Beach Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"The toilets and showers were clean, the cabin as well. Friendly staff. There was no jug to boil some water and the bed was rather soft and bouncy. Parking available but the carparks were quite narrow."

Arcadia Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised at our stay here at Arcadia Motel! We were there for a Cross country event and didn't know the location but would pick this Motel over and over again! Spotlessly clean! The bathrooms looked like they had recently been redone - but turns out they were redone a number of years previously - they just look after them so well. Big rooms with everything you need. Found the 1 bed to be a bit soft for my liking but definitely not bad. Low noise levels and a lovely little pool (although was a little cold still at the start of September). Super friendly and helpful owner! Def recommend :)"

"Staff were lovely and helpful, rooms clean and a good size for a family. Short walk to a number of eateries. Laundry available. If you're lucky you'll meet the very smoochy motel cat."
