I booked 3 nights. I received absolute NO communication from staff about getting into my room after hours. They claim they sent a text, but I never received one. I tried ringing them at 6.50 pm and again at 8 pm. No answer, only an answering machine which I obviously left my circumstances on. I believe they double booked my cabin and being peak season, decided to get double money for the cabin. (I booked through Wotif.com) so I had to find alternate accommodation at 8.20pm with my 10 year old son. The water park is old and lacks pressure with green algae slime creating a slipping hazard for children. The big coloured bouncing cushion is gone. The pool smells of the nearby brown water disposal system. The septic system either blocked up or couldn’t handle the traffic and needed to be pumped out while we stayed and the smell was unbearable. Being an interstate Dad I have stayed at Howard Springs Big4 over a dozen times in the last 7 years. I won’t stay here ever again.

Not good
Room was not clean. Paying that type of money you would think you would get a better place. Check in time was 2:00 pm but still had to wait a hour for the room

Stayed in a cabin for most of May 2022. The cabin we were initially allocated was not clean (scum on doors, something spilled on floor and not mopped up, dust and dirt on many surfaces) and it smelled of cigarettes. We told reception and they offered to move us to a different cabin which turned out to be an upgrade. This one was an improvement in terms of cleanliness and smell; and we settled in, unpacking our suitcases for a 3 week stay. The next day we were told a mistake had been made and we would have to pay the additional $1000 to stay in this cabin or we could move back to the original one. The area manager was eventually consulted and it was agreed we would not pay the extra charge. After a week, all of us had respiratory issues and we discovered the bedroom aircon was full of mould. My son and I were put on medication by a doctor and told to have the aircon cleaned or stop using it. We reported it twice for maintenance but nothing was done nor did the manager come to speak to us about it (we were told that she would). I bought products to clean more mould off window sills, curtains and walls so we wouldn’t get sick again. We stopped using the bedroom aircon. Outside of the cabin, the jumping pillow is deflated and unusable, the squash courts are locked and inaccessible, the playground has sections taped off as they need fixing (other parts should be taped off too as there are sharp, rusted pieces sticking up on the platforms), many washing machines are out of order.
