We have been going to Beachaven for the past 5 years in which time there has been considerable change. Some great, some not so great. However this will most likely be our last. It has now simply “Gone to the dogs” This last Christmas has seen a change in policy where dogs are now allowed into the camping ground, even... More

Great location - awesome beach but having been to the camp before felt the great improvements of recent times are slipping - overflowing rubbish bins not emptied often enough so rubbish piled ontop of the bins and beside them on the walkway, toilets cleaned at odd times - closing the toilets being cleaned leaving little kids using unisex toilets -...

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is disappointing to hear you felt the great improvements of recent times are slipping, we had no verbal complaints during this period reported to reception. We did have many positive comments over this very busy peak period, so we are a little surprised. We do clean the... More

Thanks Murray and Yvette for a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Beachaven. We were lucky enough to enjoy an almost unbroken run of fine weather during our 10 day stay and thus perhaps avoided some of the difficulties others experienced during their stay. You are clearly working very hard at improving what was perhaps previously a rather tired facility, but most... More

OK, I have to say that this would be a nice enough holiday park if the owners would not have insisted on paving the paths and driveways with CRUSHED GLASS and GLASS DUST. I could not believe it, I thought this must be a joke with a hidden camera or something. They really fill the many potholes in the paths... More

A really nice, new, up market camping ground, everything has been done really well here and it is super close to the beach! We stayed in the motel unit for two nights and it was great, nice modern, clean unit. One thing I was really disappointed with, we booked for 6 people in a motel and also a camp-site for... More

We stayed a week here in one of the 2 bedroom cabins. The cabins were great - very spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly - BBQ, kitchen etc was always clean. The only problem was the kitchen and lounge in the shared area flooded badly when it rained which wouldnt make a pleasant stay for campers in tents... More

Camp ground is lovely. Has had huge improvements since we were there a few years ago. Ladies toilets are lovely. Always clean, not once did I find a loo that had run out of loo paper. Showers awesome, not need to be up at crack of dawn for a warm shower! Only downfall is it rained majority of the time... More

Great motels - and the playground for the kids, just next to. Had an awesome Christmas eve. We'll definately come all the way from Denmark once again, to stay at this lovely camp. So much... More

It's a lovely camping ground with spacious sites. Plenty of room for large tents, gazebos and cars etc. No problems getting adjacent sites with friends so we could spread out even more. The ladies block is very modern and I never had a cold shower. We never experienced any water lying around despite quite alot of rain which we cant... More

It floods, This campsite floods, the kitchen and lounge was under water by 2 inch's. We had heavy rain, not civil emergency stuff. By talking to others, it seems this campsite floods time after time every year at some stage. Our group bookings were also stuffed up, so our sites were spread out - very not cool. 3 Sets of... More
