Wheelie Long Points:
Batemans Bay Beach Resort is in Batehaven on the NSW south coast, about four hours south of Sydney. One of the properties in the Big 4 Holiday Parks group, it offers en suite, powered and non-powered sites for camper trailers and tents and a wide range of cabins, including the easy access cabin reviewed here. With a double bed and pull-out sofa, the cabin accommodates three people so was perfect for me and my two carers (my husband and our eight-year-old son!). The eternal problem of providing a wheel-in shower that won't flood the entire bathroom was tackled with a very slight dip down into the shower floor. This kept the majority of the water in the shower area, but there was still a lot of over spray which could have been minimised with a more generous shower curtain. The fold-down shower seat was quite small and positioned directly in front of one of the grab rails which was a little uncomfortable on my back at times. It was adequate for a slight person, but I suspect that someone with a larger frame would struggle. Personally, I prefer a portable shower chair so that it can be positioned according to need. At $800 for five nights, the cabin wasn't cheap, but it allowed us to enjoy a comfortable holiday with friends who were camping at the resort. The public areas, including the pool, camp kitchens, games room, jumping pillow and mini golf were all accessible to me on the scooter. The cleanliness of the entire park, the abundant bird life and the gentle sound of the Bay's ebb and flow were a delight. The resort also has en suite, accessible camp sites so when we figure out a wheelie good camping solution, we will definitely return. |
