Natural Setting

  • Guests can see native wildlife such as wallabies (including padymelons), possums, quolls and even keep an eye out for the rare Tasmanian devil in surrounding areas. Moreover, Wombats can be sighted occasionally.
  • Bird-watching is strong here: sea-birds, owl species like the tawny frogmouth, and riverine bird life.
  • Because the grounds border natural parkland, kids and adults alike have space and freedom to explore in a relatively safe holiday‐park setting.

Owls

Tawny Frogmouth Owls aren't normally seen through the day, particularly sitting on top of the access post for the security gate.
