Location is great! We loved Narooma.
However, felt, and some guests agreed in talking that some improvements should be made and we were fairly dissapointed with a few aspects.
1. When we arrived to check into our cabin - the smaller ones - we checked it out - on inspection we were in horror - nothing like website made it look - rust and a bed on the floor , very poor quality and it was clear that these style cabins are being pulled down, because the few ahead of us had already been pulled down, and there was abit of. Construction site happening. - immediately we went to the office to ask to upgrade! To anything but this, kindly asking to pay extra if we need to - They were abit rude at the desk and kinda hesitant at first - which we thought was rude, we were happy to pay more.
But once they let us, we moved to the waterside cabins which were must must better and we were happy.
Lovely view.
Second issue-
2. We were all given wrist bands to access the pool and amenities. Blue for adults which work to open doors. And red for kids, which didnt open doors but we were told they had to wear.
First stay here (as we stayed then left then came back) due to a planned booking for a trip to Merimbula.
These red bands we found didnt work to open the doors and they didnt fit our kids wrists anyway. We wore them with the blue or didnt wear at all.
On our second trip there we asked the office to not give us the red ones - as it was a $50 fee if they lost them- and we certainly nearly lost them a few times and didnt want to risk that. They said they HAD to.wear them, we explained that they didnt fit the kids wrists
And didnt want them. They instead gave us 2 red wrist bands that just had narooma on them (these look like the kind you get for free at an expo) they didnt fit the kids wrists either, we kept them at the cabin, but relaxed abit thinking at least its no fee if we lose these. Well so we thought.
One did go missing - and on checkout, they charged us $10 for losing it.
This just left a bad taste in our mouth as we really really genuinely asked not to have them - we were always with our kids anyway and with a 4yo we had a feeling we would lose it. And alas..... :(
3. We feel that amenities should be open between 9am and 6pm too - the 10am-5pm opening times for all activities at the park we felt should have been extended.
Overall we just felt the 1-2 staff members at the desk were.a little rude, they were happy to call up heaps regarding making payments and stuff but did not think to let us know that renovations were taking place. And when we ask to upgrade we feel it should have been a no brainer no problemo vibe - rather then the rather rude .... " we are fully booked"..... "but can you check" then she checks and behold there was an option....
Vibe, just check first before saying fully booked expecting people to stay in the cabins which are obviously ready to be replaced.
I dont usually leave bad feedback, but we prob wont come back here - the policies were a little ik to us compaired to many other places we have stayed and staff can always be more understanding and nice.
Once we payed heaps extra and stayed in the nicer cabins - it was a pleasant stay - but expensive - i think there are nicer places
