Alivio Tourist Park Canberra

Toilet is blocked which we didn't expect......but the location is not bad.

Lovely park for families. There is lots of natural wildlife in the park as well (birds mostly). Flat van sites and plenty of room. There is a restaurant right near reception that is a godsend at the end of a long and busy day. Nice facilities.

Stayed in a Grevillea Cabin, Bed was comfortable, there are no electric blankets supplied, during the cold months, Split system heater struggled to keep cabin warm, some days had a max temp of 4c. Heater failed miserably when the night time temperatures dropped below 0c. while we were there the heater stopped on several nights, about 2.00 am when the temperature dropped to -5. The onsite restaurant called The Veranda has gone downhill as well, it used to be a family friendly and reasonably priced. But it is now overpriced for what you get, I ordered Crispy Pork Belly with aoli and Kiffler potatoes. The pork was far from crispy, and it was served the upmarket way of a square of pork in the middle of the plate with a couple of dobs of aoli in the corners with two small roasted radishes, and two inedible potatoes that were so hard you couldnt put a fork into them or even cut them with a steak knife. when I mentioned to staff I was told we will tell the chef. Breakfast Buffet was just luke warm , the only hot food was the toast you cook yourself. All food was terrible very disappointed this stay. Equipment in cabin was poor, Fire blanket was not packed properly, broom head was broken and broom unable to be used.
