Aaok Lakes Resort and Caravan Park

Great place to stay. Quiet accommodation amongst the trees. Great for birdwatching. We were met by a forest kingfisher as we arrived. Walking around the area at dusk and in the morning was great for adding to our birding list. We photographed many of these. Staff were very friendly. WiFi coverage good.

I booked a small queen bed cabin. I arrived just as the restaurant was closing. They very pleasantly offered to cook me Barra and Chips before they closed up, and I had a couple of beers at the bar. The staff were nothing short of amazing. Super friendly and accomodating. After dinner I went to the cabin. It was small but nice and clean, and had everything I needed. These are Donga style rooms and the person in the adjoining room was very noisey at night and early morning. Next time I’ll book a family room to avoid that thing common wall. Will definitely go back.

We stayed 3 nights in a compact van room which from the outside really doesn’t impress, looking like a little windowless box attached to another but it wasn’t quite as bad as expected inside (there is actually a window). For what it was, it was kept pretty clean although looked a bit tired. However, the linen could definitely do with being upgraded. The navy patterned sheets did have some marks/staining and looked a bit washed out. There’s a decent enough area to prepare basic food with a fridge, toaster and kettle. The bathroom had what you needed and some mini toiletries were provided. Our sliding bathroom door got stuck on more than one occasion though. The small outside area has 2 plastic chairs but we didn’t use it. There is a buffet dinner available on site but again, we didn’t use this. A big tip would be to avoid using the outdoor light on your van unless you want a bug infestation when you open the van door at night. This accommodation I think would be more suited for worker accommodation than travellers and maybe more 1 person than 2. Alternatively, this did look like a nice park for everyone who had their own caravans!
