Koala Shores Holiday Park

Great place to stay. Beautiful scenery with the river frontage and all the walking tracks. Cabin was immaculately clean. The park amenities are top notch and all clean. Booking was easy and staff were very friendly. My new favourite place to stay in Port Stephens

We wish we had of stayed longer at this place . It was in a very pretty spot. The cabin was clean, and the park was very clean. The pool area looked amazing. It is right on the water, plenty of gum trees, kookaburras and space. There is a Coles nearby and a fish and chip shop nearby too.

I stayed here with my husband and 2 kids. Overall it wasn't a bad place to stay, but were just disappointed with a fee small things. We stayed in a cabin which was enough for us. We had a portacot for my 1 year old which we (just) fit into our room, and our almost 4 year old slept in the bunks. Very basic kitchen and utensils but was enough for us. Room has a nice big fridge and the shower was nice and hot with a good amount of pressure. There were a few things that could've been fixed to make me give it a 4 or 5 star rating. The shower was quite dirty, the screen door into the cabin was broken, not even on the rail and quite hard to open to get in to the glass door. The blind cord in the room was not attached to the windowsill which is dangerous with young kids. There was also a broken floorboard on the deck that was broken, and the lounge had a huge lump in one of the pillows so it wasn't able to be sat on. Apart from that, it was relatively clean, has a TV and WiFi included. The pool is amazing, and the kids loved the jumping castle. There's 2 small playgrounds which are probably better suited to older kids and are a little old. There is a communication kitchen with a couple of vending machines and claw games in it. We didn't use the tennis court or mini golf but those are available and free for guests. Overall we enjoyed our stay, it was just a shame about the couple of issues with the cabin.

Cockroaches and bugs literally everywhere, so disgusting, had to move the bed so ants wouldn’t drop out of the lights into my eyeballs while I was sleeping. No towels provided, heavily dripping tap, hardest and loudest doors to open. Would not recommend lmao

We had a great time in our on site cabin. Loved the improvements since last time. The new road is better than before, and the kids loved the jumping pillow. Right on the water, caught a whopping flathead, but not any crabs like last time. Sorry to see Anna has moved on, she used to go above and beyond. Remaining staff are fantastic too, though. Can’t wait to return.

Stayed in a cabin with another family in Dec/Jan over New Year’s. We were slightly apprehensive after reading some older reviews, however it is obvious that a great deal of work has gone into upgrading and refreshing the accommodation. Although the cabin was not enormous, facilities were clean and more than adequate. The kids also really enjoyed the big air pillow, swimming pool and go-carts. The only things I would have wanted to have been different would be the long drive to the beach (not the resort’s fault!) and some recycling facilities. Otherwise, a terrific place for a family holiday.
