My second time here and as always it was a nice stay. Very safe quiet and relaxing stay. The shared facilities is clean and the other campers are respectful. Close to the central business district, so plenty to do.

NRMA is relatively reasonably priced for our travel but we didn’t expect that the room had no bathrooms. We made it work and it was a good experience for the kids. The room was equipped with what was needed for our stay.

We had to share bathrooms, microwave, cooking and cleaning stations with other campers, but it was very clean and I had no issues.
The service was fantastic and the staff were friendly.
I would recommend to bring ear plugs cause the birds and bats live in the surrounding trees and can be loud, but its a beautiful natural sound.

The woman working the front desk was SO friendly! There was a small shop in the reception area for guests to purchase snacks and goods. Our room was very clean and the air conditioning worked great! The coffee and tea station in the room was very nice as well. The only thing I have to say is that there are some glass slits at the front of the room for guests to open and close like windows. It was very easy to hear other guests and people walking by because of that. But our neighbors were relatively quiet, so absolutely no complaints!! Just know, the bungalows don’t have bathrooms. You’ll be using a shared shower and toilet with other guests (separated by gender).

Room was clean, clean sheets, clean towels, plates, cups, cleanish bathroom, mold and water bugs- roaches, microwave, water kettle and refrigerator. Entire surrounding area could be cleaner. Great price, was ok for a few days. Close to bus stop which was convenient and several tour companies pick up here. Close to airport. Staff was nice and helpful. Wildlife noisy at night.

Booked room with wi-fi and toilet in room. WiFi was terrible. Had to go outside to use it. Had to go to outside toilet and shower that had to be shared with others. Wasn’t comfortable with that in middle of the night. Ordered a taxi at front desk for taxi to airport. It didn’t show but we manage to call one before we missed our flight. Difficult task.
