Some friends of ours are camping there right now. My lovely Missus Bongo went out there today to visit them.

The pool was cold by Top End standards but in good repair and clean and the kids were having a ball on the slide.

When the managers were asked about the canoes and paddleboats they were told to just ask and they would send a supervisor down to the lake to well "supervise".

Mrs Bongo had to use the amenities and they were excellent and clean.

Excellent camp sites with places to light a camp fire.

Missus Bongo wants to stay with friends.

What really got up your nose qubert? Mrs Bongo's experience is soooooooooooooo different to yours!!!

How is it a health hazard? Mrs Bongo said everything seemed OK to her. Very easy to slander on a forum such as this! I'll see if I can get out there and share your concerns with the management later in the week; perhaps I might be able to take a few few photos of the kids having fun and the excellent facilities.
