BIG4 Happy Hallidays Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"This is the second time we have stayed here. We arrived late and had instructions for a late check in which was convenient. The cabin was well prepared for us and had everything we needed. It was raining but the cabin was cosy. The little kitchenette had everything we needed to make a meal. The facilities here for families strike me as very good although we were a couple without children. So close to the beach - love it!"
