Date of stay: 30th March 2025

The cabin was perfect for our stay, had all we needed-just bring your own food. The small shop onsite was handy. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, we really loved it!

Emma
Date of stay: 28th March 2025

Honestly, we had a really great stay here! The pods were surprisingly roomy and had everything we needed, which made relaxing after a busy day at the park much easier. The location is spot-on - super close to the attractions, so we could easily pop back whenever the kids needed a breather. The staff were lovely, always friendly and happy to help with any little requests. We also enjoyed having access to the on-site restaurant and soft play area, especially in the evenings when the place was quiet. It struck a nice balance between downtime and fun, really adding to our trip. All in all, it was a memorable holiday and wed happily come back again!

We had a great stay! The place was super spacious and really well thought out, perfect for families. The location is stunning and everything was spotless. The ramp access makes it so accessible. Wild Acre village adds a lovely touch to Sundown Adventure. Would definitely come back!

Emma
Date of stay: 26th March 2025

We had a lovely stay overall. The hot tub was a real treat, though it did drop in temperature by Sunday night, which was a bit of a shame. The cabin was comfy, but the double bed was a bit too soft for us. Also, the kids' single beds arent full length, so bedtime cuddles were a little tricky!

James
