Through a miscommunication between the booking app and the park I paid several hundred dollars which was later revealed as non refundable and I could not stay at the park because I had a dog. Nothing was made clear except one thing, I lost a lot of money.

Dear Neville. Please note you booked a non pet friendly Chalet (non-refundable) that was outlined to you at the time of your booking. You were also told this information via phone and offered another room to accommodate your dogs. However, you refused and your booking was marked as a no show for a non-fundable booking. Please ensure you read the room description and conditions before confirming the booking.

If late check-in to the hotel, we don't recommend this hotel. Impossible to get the passcode for late check-in as they requested customers to make a call to their hotel instead via email (that's extremely inconvenient if customers are not in Australia) Made a few distance calls to the hotel but they only sent a few confused sms (even wrong customer name n information) and finally the date we check-in we didn't receive the right passcode. It finally took us another 2 hours for check-in

Dear Pik Yu. The passcode for the after hours access including a site contact number was sent to your mobile number you provided on the morning of your check-in day. The email you provided was incorrect therefore we requested you update your details via phone. If you had contacted the number provided when you checked-in, the code would have been provided to you immediately. We thank you for choosing to stay with us but please ensure your details are correct so matters like this can be avoided.

Spent one night at the Banksia Tourist Park and we were well accommodated for. The two bedroom pet friendly cabin was great size for 2 ad 2 ch and a small pet. The cabins do have a couple of steps in them between the lounge/bunk/bathroom and the kitchen/main bed. Communication from the admin was prompt and friendly. Would stay again

Disliked: Amenities
There was no WIFI access in my room which was critical or my stay in Perth. I contacted management through a phone call and email requesting a refund so that I could book alternative accommodation where I would have WIFI. They refused to provide a refund, instead they offered my two free coffee's and access to wifi in a public area... this was unsuitable for my needs, but they were not understanding of my situation. I was angry and disappointed that they could not see their way clear to assisting me more. I felt that was an unnecessary adherence to their cancellation policy with no thought to their guests needs and that they were unable to fulfil those. Their excuse was that they never advertised a guarantee for WIFI access in their rooms, but to my mind this was simply a cop-out. I would have been able to give them a wonderful review if they had shown an ounce of compassion or understanding. I shall never be able to recommend their park and I certainly will never stay there again.

Hi LeaThank you for your review and choosing to stay with us. We are disappointed you did not enjoy your stay with us and the Free WIFI was not 100% assessible to you during your stay. However, this information is clearly outlined on the room description and website that our WIFI is not part of your in room service. This is your responsibility to ensure the room description and facilities meets your needs before booking. We offered you to use the camp kitchen to access a stronger signal of WIFI however you refused. Every effort was made by our team to assist you once you addressed your concern with us after your check-in.

I liked that the park was a very quiet area but there was only a walking area for dogs. No outdoor seating at property. Outdoor light at property not working. Swimming pool not open at appointed time of nine o clock in mornings. There was no shop at the park therefore a car is essential. On the plus side our property had a very good shower and bed was very comfortable.

An alarm went off from midnight until 3am saying “this is a restricted area, the police are on their way, please leave the area.” The police never came. The next morning I told the front desk about it and they both looked totally shocked, then one girl lied and said they already knew about it and thanked me for telling them. No apology. We were only there for two nights and spent half of the first one worried someone’s had broken into the property. On top of that, there were 5 baby cockroaches in the fridge and more on the walls. When we checked in they took down heaps of information about us and it felt like we were picking someone up from prison. Yikes

This was the only available place for our emergancy stay in Perth. The cabin had damage and cracks in it. It was a bugs paradise. Every day we had to spray a bucket load in the cabin but that didn't stop the bugs. There were cockaroaches in the freezer door and they were alive and had been living there for awhile. I dont think the cleaners understand how to clean correctly. Photos of the place are definitely misleading.

Well located, staff are friendly. My only real frustration was that I booked a chalet and in photos it appeared to be a standalone unit, but it was infact in a block of 5 or 6 rooms with common walls on both sides. I would stay again but certainly be double-checking that I was in a standalone cabin/chalet.
