Reflections Lennox Head - Holiday Park

Great park, good clean facilities. Grounds ade well maintained and everything is clean and tidy. Lake Ainsworth is lovely to swim in and the beach is so close. We love Lennox Head and all it has to offer! Easy walk to shops and cafes, walk along the beach or on the footpath. Untouched by huge developments and high rises. We hope it will always remain this way.

Let me start with the good. This park is in an amazing location. Across the road from Lake Ainsworth and a bit past the lake is the ocean with a patrolled beach so you are spoilt for choice for swimming. The lake is fresh water and the temperature is like bath water. Perfect for kids, adults, paddle boards, etc. There are plenty of grassed areas, picnic shelters, bbq's around the lake. There is a kiosk at the beach and a Cafe within 5 mins walk. The main town is about a 15min walk. There is a Friendly Grocer in town that is quite well stocked, 3 liquor stores, a butcher and bakery. If you need the Woolies you will need to drive 10 mins but other than that you won't need to drive anywhere. Down the road is 4wd access to 7 mile Beach but you need a permit. As for the park the front office stocks various ice creams, drinks, lollies and milk. The Norco milkman also visits regularly. You can also hire kayaks, paddle boards and push bikes for a reasonable price. During our stay they had a movie night, activities for kids and a visit from Santa. I found it convenient that the laundry had a credit card payment system and you get a text when the load is about to finish. $7 a load to wash and $8 to dry. You can get an iron from reception if you need it. In the section we were in there didn't seem to be a camp kitchen but there may have been one at the far end of the park. People were washing up in the laundry. Amenities were pretty standard. Bit frustrating the you need one code for the toilets and another for the boom gate but not a deal breaker. Park is pet friendly as are parts of the beach but the lake and surrounds are not pet friendly. Mind you, it wasn't cheap but still cheaper than many on the coast. Sites are very squishy. We had a small caravan and awning and could barely fit our car on the site. Neighbours are right up to each others' boundary. All in all, we loved our stay and will most likely be back.

Our Delux cabin needed a lot of maintenance and heavy duty clean. Had good size fridge, tv and mini dishwasher. Rusty chairs on deck. Mould evident in shower, rusty bits. Cannot speak about other facilities available in the park. Was disappointed. Priced at what I would have paid in a hotel or resort per night. Stayed there as friends were camping and we wanted to be in the same location.

The park’s location, amenities and local staff are great. BUT the Reflections management should hang their head in shame. How the Reflections management could let the roads fall into the shocking state they are is disgraceful. This is not an overnight problem, we stayed here in May 23 and it was well started then. The pot holes are massive, the photos I’ve posted are a tiny representation of the whole park. WE are paying good money to stay here please Reflections show us some respect and maintain your park.

My elderly Mother booked the standard cabin while the rest of the family had 3 powered tent sites. The powered sites were great and ours had Astro turf, although many didn’t. Cabin number 10 had a queen size bed which was comfortable. The cabin is tired looking. She didn’t need to use the bunk bed which was just as well as the lower bunk is only centimetres off the floor. The cabin itself does not have any table/chair inside. There is a large table on the veranda with two chairs but because the table is too big, only one person can sit down as the 2nd chair is butted against the wall and you can’t squeeze in or get the chair out. The handbasin was extremely difficult to turn off unless you have a lot of strength and the shower was also very difficult to regulate- going from very hot to lukewarm. We have advised staff of this and they are going to look into it. The location of the park is magic, next to the Lake and opposite the surf beach and dog friendly off leash area. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are large pot holes in some parts of the road which can be a trip hazard, especially at night. The surf club opposite has a take away shop but does not have any dining room/bistro options which many surf clubs these days do. There are some nice cafes within walking distance.

Booked several sites for family holiday. Was asked to pay up front and did. Had a death in the family and asked if we could move the booking. Was declined, no refund and all our sites were re booked by other people. No empathy at all just greed. My family is down over $2000. I understand if the park were not able to fill our booked spots but this was not the case.
