The Retreat West Beach Parks

This was our first family holiday in six years, so it was lovely to go to a well-maintained and facilitated venue. Our accommodation was in a near spotless condition when we arrived and having meals on the front porch overlooking the site was delightful. A highlight was being driven to Harbourtown on Wednesday by a staff member for a shopping spree!

Hands down the best park! Facilities are incredible with the kids playing on the water slides for hours. The beach access was super convenient. We also booked out the pool room for a group function was a large space equipped with everything we needed. The staff made a group booking seamless and were very accommodating. I can not thank the team at The Retreat enough for the excellent service and facilities.

Very comfortable unit. All we needed for our week’s stay. Had all amenities we needed plus very central to our requirements. Easy drive to Glenelg, Henley Beach, the airport and only 15 minutes to the city. Also close to Harbour Town for a bit of shopping. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Our group stayed in the Spinifex Shacks. Equipped with full kitchen and large living area and outside dinning area. We were able to accommodate 5 adults, however the size of bedrooms were probably more suited to a maximum of 4. Direct access to the beach and in close proximity to other activities, eateries and the airport made the location ideal for our large group. On-site facilities included a swimming pool and BBQs, with a small selection of drinks and ice creams available for purchase.

Our third and longest trip to The Retreat at West Beach. From the minute our family arrive, we just love it here! The close proximity to the beach, Glenelg, Henley and activities such as mini golf, West Adventure and The Big Wedgie is amazing! The park is relaxing, not overbearing and brilliant for children learning to navigate a cabin park. We always stay in the Sundowner cabins, a little older but a lot of space with an oval in front of the cabins, playground and washers very close by. Skala Bakery is brilliant and is within walking distance or biking distance. The West Beach Patiserre is at the Big 4 and also serves brilliant coffee and snacks etc - this place saved our life on Xmas & Boxing Day! The new West Beach Lifesaving Club has newly re-opened and worth booking for dinner and drinks. If you get chance - The Moseley beach club is awesome and family friendly too. Enjoy!

Amazing Place, we stayed in Sand Dune cabin #1 for 5 nights .. Fantastic cabin and recently new, But with some minor wear and tear. Obviously the park Is located very close to the airport so plane noise is to be expected.. once all the doors and windows are closed plane noise is less intrusive .,But yes did keep Us awake a little especially at 6am & 10pm. The pool and slides are 5 star resort style. At times a bit dangerous from Teenagers running up The slides and wiping out small children. *Not the park’s responsibility to monitor irresponsible guests* My only complaint would be as the cabin was located close to the pool the music from The pool Area seemed to be non stop. It was a great vibe, and some pretty good beats , but just not at 8am in the morning ..if you just wanted to chill outside, eat some breakfast or read on the deck , it was a hard balance to concentrate with the music & planes flying over head, was not a great relaxing environment for the ears.. However Cabins , facilities, grounds , access to the beach , staff fantastic can’t fault. Except the gardener who it appears does not like pulling or spraying weeds. The grounds are some of the most well Kept manicured lawns/grounds I’ve seen and weeds everywhere. Set my OCD off, I just found it strange to ignore all the weeds when keeping such lovely gardens . Definitely would come back when visiting Adelaide again..
