BEST WESTERN TROPICAL WANDERER RESORT

Well maintained park, en suite powered site excellent and quiet, well kept. Seems a bit strange office closing at 4pm when some travellers arrive after that time. Will be back again.

This was an unplanned stop, but it was late in the day so we drove in. Check in was efficient but at the higher end of cost $75 per night for two. We were given a drive through site which was great, and it was close to amenities. We were told they had Wi-Fi but typical of a lot of parks; they say they have it but it never works as it should. Most of the park is taken up with cabins which we assume was for mining workers who FIFO. It was a very quiet park. Hubby played 18 holes at the golf course and said it was OK, nothing special but it was close.

Booked this place for Rocky Nats a year ago through Booking.com (price per room doubled over this weekend). I tried to cancel due to being unable to travel after surgery but was an hour too late and lost the 50% deposit ($420). Got in contact with the park direct and was told a refund was out of the question. My husband decided he would travel on his own to save losing the money so I let them know this and was then told that because I'd pressed Cancel, we would have to make another booking and pay again. She claimed there was absolutely nothing she could do for us and blamed Booking.com. We demanded a call back from management, which never came. Absolutely shocking treatment and wouldn't pass the pub test any day of week.
