Fun Playground

I enjoyed the great playground area at Kennedy Park Resort. It had plenty of activities for my kids, including jumping pillows and spring-free trampolines. They made friends and had a blast playing, which allowed me to relax a bit. The facilities really cater well to families!

Modern Bathroom

The bathroom in our motel unit was impressive. It was spacious and modern, providing a lovely atmosphere for us to get ready each day. The hot water pressure was excellent, and cleanliness was great.

Great Games Room

The games room at the resort was a highlight for us! It included a pool table that the whole family enjoyed. It provided a fantastic opportunity for us to unwind and have some fun together after a day of exploring.

Our family camping trip to Kennedy Park was an unforgettable experience, filled with great facilities for kids and an overall amazing atmosphere. The variety of swimming pools and the central café were definitely highlights. However, we faced disturbances from other guests at night, which dampened our experience a bit. Overall, it was still a fantastic place for families, with lots of things to keep everyone busy.

I had a great stay at the resort. The holiday unit was recently renovated and quite comfortable. The heated pool and jumping pillow were a hit with the kids. The location was decent, a bit of a walk to town, but overall, it was a great value for the price, especially in the off-season. Just a little noisy one evening, but nothing that closing the doors couldn’t fix.

The resort was about a 30-minute walk from town, which was manageable. It’s nice to have a place that's a bit removed from the hustle and bustle.

The hotel has some great amenities, including lovely pools and spacious areas to relax. However, our experience was marred by noise disturbances from the ground floor room where we stayed, which made it tough for the family to rest. Although the overall facilities were nice and the return to this hotel was enjoyable, the specific room situation led us to leave earlier than planned.

Unfortunately, we found our ground floor room quite noisy, which disrupted our sleep and made our stay less enjoyable. It would have been better to have options available for a quieter room.

I had an incredible time at the campground! The facilities are absolutely top-notch, with spotless kitchen and bathing areas, and plenty of amenities for families. However, I was disappointed with the check-in process, as our room wasn't ready until nearly 5pm. Overall, it's a great place for camping, but the management could use some improvement in handling busy times.
