Testimonials

"We stayed at Pelican Waterhole for a long weekend with our two children and another couple and their two kids. We all had our own, very comfortable, rooms and the house is fitted with child safety gates - so the young bubs were very safe. The kitchen, lounge room, TV room and games room were great, with lots of space and with simple country style furnishings that both the parents and kids could relax with. The toy boxes, and access to the swimming pool kept the kids entertained and the gym was also a bonus! We walked to the beach and cooked our meals and had an excellent stay. We would highly recommend Pelican Waterhole as an excellent family accommodation and Kurrimine Beach as a great place to play and to fish with the family."
