Batemans Bay Holiday Park - Hostel

Durras North

Far too small and worth the money and time. Pet friendly but I have stayed in 100% better accommodation then this. There is no stove or proper kitchen. The cabin is extremely small.
Mould in the bathroom ceiling vinyl is coming up in the bathroom and kitchen cupboards falling apart.

Keep driving

I stayed in the YHA section of the park in a twin room that could only be described as a jail cell. Definitely not worth $88! I've stayed in hotel rooms for $88. Couldn't open window, no fan for ventilation and right next to the women's bathrooms for the park so be ready to hear the slamming door all night and early morning. Mattress was cheap and thin. Just not worth the money at all, should only be $45 a night tops.

Not worth the money

There is a major DANGER in this Park in terms of an abusive man possibly residing within this Caravan Park.   During the night  there was the sound of a deranged lunatic who was repeatedly using multiple 4 letter expletives outside of his Van.  Nobody knew who he was abusing and threatening, whether it be a woman, a child or an animal.  Everyone was in shocked silence whilst this ranting went on and on.  This person was threatening someone / something with a growling angry voice using all the F and C words and calling out maggot and other things.  It was the most intimidating and terrifying situation.  We all felt like prisoners and were truly wondering if some sort of attack may take place.  All went quiet for half an hour, then it began again, absolute manic chaos was unfolding again.  We were just about ready to ring the police however nobody dared make a sound or turn on a light in case this lunatic came for them.  The remainder of the entire night was spent listening to thundering footsteps, banging and crashing around.  This cabin was an old run down overpriced tiny thing and the bathroom was miniscule.  The walls are paper thin so everything can be heard.  The park itself was filled with a lot of permanent tenants who seemed to be living in very dishevelled conditions in rundown vans with old annex’s and rubbish all around.  It was a confronting sight.  The park itself is in bad need of some maintenance and money spent.  It’s in a sad state indeed.  In addition, disappointingly, nobody in the Cabins had any TV Reception, many of us who spoke about the poor conditions here were very disappointed that not even the TV’s were functioning.  The Park Managers advertise a Mobile Phone for an Emergency, however nobody answers, ever, even after multiple calls and text messages.  The Park Managers literally ignore their Emergency contact.  What does that say.  Nobody got any sleep – at all.  We fled this dangerous zone before light before the monster awoke.

DANGER Zone - Beware !!!

My first contact was by phone and she was exceptional and was. Very accommodating as we had a trailer 
We were very fortunate to be given a brand new cabin 
Was amazing 
The park is a little dated but looks like they are updating as they can 
Dog friendly as we saw a couple of pooches

Lovely cabin

I stayed in the youth hostel accommodation. I was the only one in the 6 bed female room, which was nice. There is only one plug for chargers in the room which would not be good if the room was full. There was a little heater in there and the bedding was good. There are cupboards that you can lock if you bring a lock. The kitchen is good- it has everything you could need. There is a common room that is comfy and has what you could need again. The female bathroom is indoor/outdoor but it’s alright.

Good little youth hostel

Stayed with husband and 6yr old grandaughter. Cabin was comfy with ensuite inside.pool was sparkling and play arereally food. Close to beaches and shops. Owners super friendly and helpful.I def recommend and will stay here again.

Lovely place to stay

Amazing couple who own this park. They are super helpful and always care to see if everything if going good. They also know what its like to travel. Bateman bay is a lovely town and you're just a short walk away from everything in town. Showers are hot and clean, always. Massive thank you to Kim and Leanne, from 2 lost backpackers in need of a shower.

Lovely place, amazing staff.

Stayed for 3 nights in 5 cabins ... the cabins and the park have improved immensely under new management ... still has it’s quaint charm about it though ... we enjoyed our time there once again ... used the bbq’s for brekky and had a great afternoon snacking and drinking in undercover area near the pool ... thx again guys from the wollongong Crew 

Great Stay

Great weekend stay. Staff were very friendly. Clean amenities. Great value. Clean cabins with linen provided. Short walk to centre of town. Great place to relax and enjoy time spent chilling out with friends.

Getaway

We needed a stopover place and we stayed here overnight because of the affordable price. Little did I know that we would be having a scary and regretful experience. Someone was knocking/banging each of the three cabins we stayed in at around 12:30 AM to 3AM. At least 2 times each cabin and it scared me and my wife and 4 kids (2 stayed in each of the 3 cabins). None of us went out for fear of our life. We were not able to sleep and go out for toilet. 

Everything felt weird from the moment you step in to the reception to the cabin full of mosquitoes and seeing the neighbourhood giving you an unfriendly stare (some of the residents look like longtime cabin owners). The name shady really is accurate description for this place. I would not recommend it to anyone. 

Worst of it, we got a message the following day asking us if we know anything about a smashed window in one of the cabin we stayed in? We did not do it and know nothing about it. Now I’m suspicious they might be blaming and charging us for the damage. This despite of the bad experience we had. This place is really dodgy. Looks like this is the modus operandi of the owners.
