Accessibility at Bimbi Park
Bimbi Park is a bush-based holiday park in the heart of the Otways. Our natural setting is a big part of what makes a stay here special, with koalas in the trees, native wildlife and a relaxed camping atmosphere. Because we are surrounded by bush, some areas of the park have uneven natural ground, slopes and gravel paths.
We want all guests to feel welcome and comfortable. We have cabins that may suit guests with limited mobility, depending on individual needs, and our sites can be a good option for guests travelling with their own accessible caravan, camper or equipment.
Our main amenities block includes accessible facilities, with an accessible bathroom and toilet designed to make stays easier for guests with mobility needs.
We know there is always more we can do. We are continuing to improve accessibility throughout the park and are currently looking at developing a group of purpose-designed accessible cabins in the future.
As every guest’s needs are different, we encourage you to contact us before booking. We are happy to discuss the most suitable accommodation, parking, access, bathroom facilities and any other requirements to help you plan a comfortable stay.
Please call us on (03) 5237 9246 or email info@bimbipark.com.au before booking, and we will do our best to assist.

If you want to see koala's then this is the place to stay. We saw plenty and even one at the base of a tree which made a bline for me. So cute. The place is quite rustic but has everything you need. The bathrooms were pretty cold (begining of August) but very clean and lovely. The camp kitchen had everything we needed and a cosy lounge to play games in. Also quite an extensive library. We really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely winter break for 3 nights family 2 adults and 2 kids, shared bedroom was the perfect glamping experience comfy bed and heated room and still got the camp experience.
Staff friendly especially the French couple.
Bathroom block lovely with great showers and very clean. The kitchen and lounge areas basic amenities but comfortable with fireplace. Would suggest a listing of what is included in the camp kitchen as there was no oven which could be an issue for some. A great place to explore the Otways nearby Maits Rest 1 km bush walk is perfect for young children. Also a lovely walk to Cape Otway Lighthouse approx 7 km return from park.

Long review incoming: make a cup of tea:
Location: madness. A portal to a complete different relaxed way of life for most of us city folk. Green, fresh, beachy, absolute madness
Service: check in was very easy, with clear instructions and always a helpful staff member during staffed hours at the office
Cost: for the benefit of relaxing and being in a nice place, it was stupendously well worth it.
Accom: accom was good, there were smaller cozier places for couples but I went with some friends. We were able to cook one of the best grilled cheese pizzas we have ever had there
One drawback: my boss didn’t let me spend more time there .
Great park, great people, greatness all around, left right and centre

Stayed in an unpowered site wanting a quiet stay with lots of wandering. I got it: away from the main buildings on a huge grassy site surrounded by majestic gums and koalas in the branches. The facilities were excellent, camp kitchen spotless with all you need for cook up and a great snug area with a huge tidy book exchange.
The staff were helpful and friendly and the shop has a good stock of essentials.
I’ll be back

We booked the Eco Cabins at Bimbo Park which was a great decision. They are fully self contained and just about everything you could want in a holiday cabin was included...even electric blankets on our King size bed. They were greatly appreciated on one particularly cool night.
There is a range of accommodation options to suit all types and ages of holiday makers . We are in our senior years and we like comfortable surroundings and Bimbi Park exceeded our expectations.
The management have ensured a high standard is maintained in every aspect. Even the outdoor amenities block that services the Pods is clean, modern and well stocked.
There is wildlife everywhere...birds, wallabies, kangaroos but especially koalas. One little guy was especially friendly, allowing us to get up close and personal... we named him Bruce.
If we weren't so far away in Sydney we'd be visiting more often because Otway and the towns along the Gt Ocean Rd are so special and Bimbi Park is an ideal place to base yourself for exploration of this part of Victoria.
To provide balance to this review, I have to say that we found communication via mobile phone and internet access was difficult away from the Office area. It is possible to get a signal in places with a bit of elevation so we needed to manage our communication needs...after all this is not in the suburbs.
As Sydney residents we have not had much exposure to the Victorian countryside and were gobsmacked by the beauty of the coastline, OtwayNational Park and Bimbi Park in particular.
Keep up the good work Kat, Frank and the team.

Had an amazing stay at Bimbi Park! The service was absolutely excellent — the staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The location is beautiful, with stunning views and such a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax and unwind. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by nature. It was the perfect getaway, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend Bimbi Park to anyone looking for great service, breathtaking scenery, and a memorable stay!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay here. We saw many koalas, even one on the ground. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We booked a cottage without a private bathroom. The shared bathrooms were very near the cottage (50m walk) and very clean. Shower water is on a timer and requires tokens. UV treated drinking water is at reception spigot. Tap water in the cottages is fine for cooking, hand and dish washing.

Stayed in retro van for 3 nights. Fun experience like caravanning in the 80s. Comfy bed & good heater fortunately because the nights were chilly.
Would be nice to have hot water & somewhere to hang coats but I guess dealing with these minor issues is part of the rustic nature of the camp.
Spotted and few koalas, a possum and many birds.

Fabulous long weekend, short stay, booked last minute in a pod. I was worried about no power in the pod but it still beat having to put up a tent and mattresses as it was comfortable, dry and warm overnight. The hosts were able to kindly locate us nearer to the central areas upon request. We loved the set out of the grounds, ability to get a fire drum and everything we needed for marshmallow roasting. Shop was nicely stocked with last minute essentials and treats for the kids. Lucky enough to have had a koala in the tree next to us for 24 hours which was superb! All amenities were well located and we loved the coffee van, pizza night and fish n chip evenings on site served by friendly chatty hosts. Brilliant stay half way between Apollo Bay and Port Campbell. Will be back!!

We spent 4 days at Bimbi Park. We have a fantastic room with our own shower and toilet. The room was perfect. Beautiful sheets and a comfortable bed. The room had a huge window looking out over the fields.. In the afternoon the sun warmed the room and dried our hiking clothes.
There was a clean and well equipped BBQ area and kitchen if you wanted to cook.
The park itself is clean and well run.
We loved our stay and will go there again. Ww think it's the perfect place if you are walking the Great Ocean Walk or want a weekend away with a family. Kids would love the place.
It's an amazing place. Highly recommended.

Stayed for 2 nights on a powered campsite with a tent. Plenty of space and easy to navigate the park. This place is such a beautiful and tranquil spot with so many wild koalas and other animals to see and hear! The coin shower system is great, just make sure you are quick with your showers as the 3 mins per coin does go fast! Used the camp kitchen twice and it was so well played out with plenty of space for food storage, bench tops and seating. Thanks so much!

Couldn't ask for a better stay, we'll definitely be back!
The family recently stayed in a Bush Camping site for 2 weeks across New Years 2025/26, and it was some of the best we've done outside a National Park. Kat at the team in the office and across the park are exceptional - nothing is too much trouble, the prices are reasonable, and the location is second to none. All amenities are within easy reach across the entire park, and it was a great base to explore the Otways and surrounding area. We've already booked our next escape over Easter, and can't recommend it enough.
Thanks all for such a wonderful stay - keep doing what you're doing, 'cause it's working!

Had a wonderful time at Bimbi Park and will definitely be coming back.
Campfires, clean toilets and showers, basketball ring for the kids and the wildlife were all amazing.
The extra services put on by the hosts such as movie nights, pizza and fish and chip nights and the communication re total fire bans and special walks were all without fault.
It was a great trip.

Our family and friends had a fantastic 4 night stay at Bimbi Park. The large bush sites were beautiful, and we loved spotting koalas and kookaburras around the park.
My daughter forgot to pack her pillow, staff promptly delivered one to our caravan - a really nice gesture and saved our sleep!
We also appreciated the text message reminders about activities like bottle feeding the cows, pizza night, movie night, bush walks etc.
The free 13km bush walk offering from Shelly Beach to Blanket Bay, led by Frank (owner & legend) was a highlight and included transport to/from the start/finish line.
Wi-Fi was limited to reception, which we loved as it encouraged our family to switch off and enjoy the surroundings. There is so much to see and do in the area too! A really wholesome, family-friendly stay. We’ll be back 🙂

Such an amazing park with Koalas everywhere. I’m normally someone who prefers national parks, but the bush camp was a perfect middle ground where you still have access to all the facilitates but feel like you’re in the middle of the bush ! Lovely drive in and only 30 minutes or so from Apollo bay so still very close to shops and restaurants.
Staff were so welcoming and friendly even during the summer holidays, and offered some many activities from feeding calf’s, costal walks etc.
Highly highly recommend anyone stay here!

First time for us at Bimbi Park and we loved it .
What a beautiful gem in the middle of nature, birds, koala, kangaroo. Children running, playing and lauging around, loving and embracing the nature.
We loved feeding Daisy and Loki ( the goats), we had a Koala next to our door step, mama kangaroo and baby joy at the back paddock, the birds greeting us in the morning.
We also gave some feedback for few minor things and they were so welcoming on that , which shows great professionalism and consideration of the guests feedback.
We really wish we could have stay much longer. Now I see why my friend is addicted to Bimbi and goes at least once a year! We will be just right behind them with the promise to ourselves to visit Bimbi at least once per year ! Still so much to see and do !
Plus when you read their stories really touches you especially if you are a parent.
Well done to you all for creating such a wonderful space .
Grazie e a presto!

We had a lovely stay at Bimbi Park. Firstly, they were very flexible and accommodating when it came to adjusting our stay due to the fires. It’s clear they’re passionate about what they do through the inclusion of additional services like the coffee kart, fish and chip and pizza nights, movies, walking tours and well-signed self-guided walks around and from the property (not all dog friendly obviously due to the location in National Park). Facilities were well-maintained and kept clean (I even saw someone in there cleaning at 10:30 at night!). I would recommend using a timer for the shower and making sure you’re super efficient though as you do lose a bit of time at the start waiting for water to warm up, and the remainder of the time goes fast! 😂 and of course, can’t forget the koalas 🐨 the noisy highlight of our stay! I’ve never seen them so up close before! ☀️ Thanks Bimbi!

Bimbi park is a must stay if you are looking for a spacious, nature camping!! Sleeping under koalas is not just a slogan. We saw many koala and everybody was respecting their space. In addition, the camping has great and clean amenities, and enough fun activities on the camping and in the area. We’ll definitely come back!

We stayed in one of their retro van, which are equipped with own little kitchen, utensils, pans, plates etc. The double bed is also very comfy and you can see koalas every day just above your van! stunning! will be back

Bimbi park was fantastic for our first camping trip as a family. Our two year old still talks about it, the friends he made and the koalas he finally got to meet and now impersonates. He’s only 2 & 1/2 but loved the freedom of running down to the playground without us. Because he was always in our vision from our campsite. The staff and Bimbi family are fantastic and you’d struggle to find a nicer bunch of people. Highly recommended to all. We’ll be back

Camped here over Christmas. It’s a lovely park. The owners were very accommodating and even drove us to blanket Bay so we could do a one-way coastal walk with the kids. The toilets were regularly cleaned every day. We saw over a dozen koalas. One of the best places we have been on our trip so far.

It's a family of 4 here, and we spent 3 nights in one of the Bimbi Park Solar Cabins. We had a very nice experience! There are lots of koalas in the park, and it's very nice spotting and watching them sleeping - this is what they do almost all the time! There are also some kangaroos in the park, although a bit shy. We haven't had a chance to experience other park activities, because we were busy visiting the area. Overall, a highly recommended family experience!

When they say camping under koalas, they mean it, we had two koalas sleeping in the tree right outside our cabin. Bimbi Park is in a beautiful natural setting with different options for whatever your budget. We were in a private room and had to use the camp toilets and shower, but everything is very clean and maintained very well, it's not a problem at all. Other than the koalas, there were lots of beautiful native birds everywhere you look and lots of nice walks to take from the property. If you prefer a relaxed setting and to be immersed in nature, I would say Bimbi Park is a good option.

I started coming to Bimbi before kids and loved it. And now I bring my kid and he loves it. The best! The clean facilities are fantastic; warm showers, a large camp kitchen with lots of fridge storage, a camp living room with library and a wood fire. There are lots of nature trails to explore and beautiful oceans nearby. My son loved playing mini golf, the playground, feeding the goats, counting the koalas, roasting marshmallows, riding his bike, and most of all the splash park. My son and I would especially like to thanks Kat for all the love and care she showed us - thanks for the beautiful memories Kat; we can’t wait to visit again xx

This is our 11th Year in a row visiting Bimbi Park. We LOVE this place and we LOVE Katrina, Frank and their awesome boys! Bimbi offers a safe and friendly community for a magical, Australian bush experience amongst the Koalas, along the Great Ocean Road bays and beaches. They offer many activities for families, couples and solo travelers to participate in. Franks cooks a mean Pizza from his open fire pizza oven and there is an onsite fish and magic shows, face painting and other special activities during school holiday dates. We camp in the unpowered area and our kids love their time immersed in nature. Highly recommend visiting Bimbi Park on your travels.

We spent one night at an unpowered site. The sanitary facilities were clean, the shower run on coins (1 coin - 3 minutes). There was a small playground for children, a climbing wall, a comfortable lounge, and a kitchen. Unfortunately, barbecuing wasn't possible due to a power outage. There was a lot of wildlife in the area, especially koalas. I suspect that's why most people stay there.

We stayed in a family cabin for 2 nights and it was great value for money.
- Spacious and can comfortably accommodate 6 adults
- Kitchen has basic cookwares, utensils, and cleaning items
- Bathroom was clean and had main toiletries you need: shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, facial tissue, and toilet paper
- Has a lot of amenities and activities to entertain guest of all ages. Too bad it was raining on our 2nd and 3rd day so we weren’t able to explore all of them
We’re highly recommending this place when you visit the Great Ocean Road region.

We came to Bimbi Park late one afternoon after our previous campsite was rained out, Kat was so incredibly kind and accommodated us. The campsite was perfect and was very close to a koala. Fire pit was great and allowed us to get nice and warm with the wind and cold temps. The showers were also great - hot water and very high water pressure, very clean and tidy. It was so great that we extended to another night which the team very kindly accommodated us for. It was peaceful, the other guests in the park were lovely and friendly. Will absolutely come back here and couldn’t recommend it more!! Thanks so much 🙂

Great location and price. Amazing to say we saw more wild koalas here Vs traveling the rest of Australia in a year! A must for anyone traveling the Great ocean road.
The stay was made even better by Sophie. Thank you for upgrading us. Also very kind and informative about finding koalas and getting around the park.

Brilliant place to stay for all types of accommodation. Roads are designed to cope with all size caravans without an issue. Huge camp kitchen and lounge. Plenty of activities for kids. Wild life in abundance!! Amenities are well maintained and very clean. Pet friendly. Definitely worth the stay but don't make it a short one. It makes a great base for seeing parts of the Great Ocean Road.

My family and I stayed at Bimbi Park over the November long weekend and had a great time. So much space and the camp kitchen was great.
On our drive to Apollo Bay we saw a koala and its baby just sitting on the edge of the road (and the mum koala couldn’t move). We contacted Bimbi Park reception who sent one of their staff out to collect the koalas and take them to a wildlife carer in Apollo Bay. This speaks volumes to me about park management as they were letting one of there staff come and collect the koalas whilst being paid by Bimbi Park - they could’ve easily have just given us a wildlife carer number and got us to do it.
The person who collected the koalas was the same young bloke who helped with the pizzas, the fish n chips, made the coffee in the morning at the coffee truck (maybe his name was Nathaniel as the coffee truck is called Nathaniel’s coffee cart) and he was also a koala picker upper 😊 - all round excellent people and park!

Stayed at Bimbi Park as a part of our 7 day Auswalk - Great Ocean Walk. The accommodation was excellent & staff were friendly and helpful. All meals were provided as a part of our Auswalk package. I had dietary requirements of gluten and lactose free. They catered to these requirements with excellent meals and attention to detail. I could not fault them.

Another fantastic experience at Bimbi Park. It’s such a rare gem 💎 with wonderful atmosphere, friendly accomodating hosts, a great variety of accomodation to suit many camping styles,.. we love the retro onsite caravans 👍. Beautiful, relaxed bush camping in a well maintained site full of birds and koalas! Lots of things to do including fusball and mini golf and a good kitchen and undercover area if weather is harsh. There are beaches and rock pools with dinosaur footprints nearby. A really great place to go!!!!

Bimbi Park is a brilliant place to stay, I've stayed numerous times ice the past 25 years or so.
The owners clearly love their business, adding improvements but keeping the wonderful feel of the campgrounds.
The amenities are great too, clean, spacious, and plenty of hooks to hang clothes in the shower cubicles.
It's rare to find such a fun, relaxed, campground that caters for everyone with so many different areas to camp and accommodation options.
Having Koala's in the trees is very special too! 🌞
The owners clearly love their business, adding improvements but keeping the wonderful feel of the campgrounds.

We stayed in a deluxe cabin. It was much better than we expected. Very comfortable and well equipped.
The park is lovely - lots of birds, koalas and some Kangaroos visible from our balcony. A very relaxing place to stay

Bimbi is a nice park with plenty of space.
Facilities were clean and the staff helpful.
The location was close to the things we wanted to see- The light station (worth a visit), the Redwood Grove and the Treetops Fly walk.
Would recommend.

Me and my friend Maisie arrived late and we were worried because we had missed the designated check in time.. we had a realisation of the phone outside where we could call a night manager. This really helped us as we would have been lost on what to do. We had a young guy (brown hair and glasses) he was so lovely and made us feel so welcomed. We loved this experience with our check in. The pod we stayed in was lovely also. We also came to check out in the morning and the lovely lady at reception pointed out where we could spot the koalas. If we could give this experience more stars.. we would! ⭐️ Thank you for the stay 🙂

We received a free upgrade to an off-grid cabin, which we were very happy about. It was especially great that we spotted several koalas in the trees while walking through the park. One was sleeping in a tree right next to our cabin.
An unforgettable stay.

We stayed 2 nights in an eco cabin which was very comfortable in a fabulous tranquil bushland setting - koalas included. We were very well looked after by the staff. Would highly recommend Bimbi Park.

Bimbi Park was the absolute highlight of our entire South Coast trip. If you want to experience Koalas in the natural habitat literally in arms reach then this is an unmissable destination. The scenery is also spectacular.

What an amazing Park this is. Cannot fault it. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Location fantastic. Dog friendly. So many activities for those with children. Camp kitchen etc is great. BUT the best thing, without a doubt, is the adorable koalas that call this Park home. To see, and hear, them in their natural habitat is so awesome. I truly hope I’m lucky enough to travel this way again. Thank you Bindi Park.

We had originally booked a camping bod with no linen provided but due to the cold weather and not having proper bedding, we were able to upgrade our room to a caravan for a slightly higher fee and it was totally worth it. The caravan had heating, blankets, microwave, gas stop, bowls, plates and sink. There were koalas all around the property and we spotted 2 of them as soon as we checked in. We were allowed early check-in at 10AM as they had the room available, dropped our bags and went out to explore. The wifi was amazing available next to the office / reception only. We went to see glow worms at night at Melba Gully and on the way back, we spotted two koalas on the road, wallabies and kangaroos, more koalas on the eucalyptus the next morning. The sleep was peaceful. The bathrooms were clean and have a token system to put coins in for the shower for a total of 6min and $1 more for every additional 3 mins. It was amazing to stay away from civilization.

A massive shout out to Kat and her lovely son who really went out to help us when our good old Jayco Swan’s roof collapsed and broke as we were setting up this weekend!
Whilst cut short by a night, we still had a wonderful weekend away, and will definitely be back sometime in the future.

Location is BLISS !!! This was a last minute find for us. We stayed in a lovely cabin that was perfect for us. The walk to the the lighthouse and a little beyond is probably the best walk we did in the Otways. I'd like to commend the operators of Bimbi Park for making our time so special. We'll definitely be back...

Incredible accomodation!! We stayed for one night in July 2025. They have created a safe space for all wildlife. In the short time that we were there, we saw 17 Koalas, we even woke up to one just outside our bedroom window. The park is well equipped to cater for couples, families and retirees. Our eco cabin was clean, warm and had a fully stocked kitchen. It was nice and quiet in the park so you could hear all the native birds. Thank you for an incredible stay. We will be back.

We had an amazing time at Bimbi Park! We stayed in one of the cabins, which was clean, warm, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The park itself is nestled in beautiful bushland, and we were lucky enough to spot koalas in the trees and wallabies nearby—such a unique experience! The shared facilities were very well kept, especially the bathrooms, and there’s so much space for kids to play and explore. It’s peaceful, family-friendly, and excellent value for money. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!

We loved staying here, the park is simply lovely! Our daughter loved that there were animals that she could hand feed, and that she could run around freely. The staff were simply awesome, they were super friendly and helpful. Our only thing we had a slight issue with was the hardness of the mattress, but everything else was really well done and cosy.

The staff are amazing and friendly. The other guests were friendly and inviting.
There is so much to do for the family and especially the kids. Mini golf, rock climbing water playground and a standard playground. Oh and don't forget to grab a bag of feed and give the cow, sheep, goats and chickens a feed. Keep a eye open above the goats to see koalas.
Great cooking facilities well enough for everybody and well kept and very clean. And if your so inclined brings some marshmallows as each site has its on fire pit ( wood is available to buy or you could go collect what you can find in the local area.
The only letdowns was the beds that were a bit lumpy/hard and the wifi being only available at the office area (we didn't have any reception on the grounds at all)

Absolutely loved staying at Bimbi Park! From the get go the service was easy! I even got a free upgrade which was appreciated for sure!! Sophie at front office was so kind and helpful while there- she had excellent local knowledge and could recommend great day trips according to my interests. There’s so much to do just around the park and facilities are excellent … given this was Winter it was surprising the great walks close by. If that wasn’t enough the wildlife was awesome! Koala central!! Even spotted cheeky echidna. Above all their sustainable practices are well set out and easy to follow for any rookie. Highly recommend a holiday here!! Location I didn’t star because it really depends on what you are wanting to do. If you are exploring the Otway NP then 10/10 for sure!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Bimbi Park. We booked a cabin, which was very cozy and comfortable. The facilities are well maintained, and the bathrooms were spotless. It’s surrounded by beautiful nature, we saw lots of koalas and wallabies during our stay! There are also plenty of play areas for kids, making it a great spot for families. Overall, great value for money. Highly recommended!

We chose an unpowered caravan site as we were passing through on our way west to WA. We just fell in love with this wonderful place and had an amazing time spotting the koalas in the trees adjacent to our caravan (only ever seen koalas in a zoo before) The folk that greeted us at check in were just amazing, friendly and helpful 5 stars guys! We were not aware of the historic importance of the Cape Otway Light Station so before a late checkout we headed down there to check it out. The tour and history were fantastic. We will come back for a longer stay on our return from WA in September 2025 and spend a longer time at Bimbi. Thanks, team, for a truly sensational experience, Cheers, Phil & Karen

A very nice bush camping spot. Lots of activities for the kids and allowed to have fire pits, which is amazing when cold. They were very accommodating with a new camp site as we have a 23 ft Caravan. This caused a little issue with reaching the power and water. Being able to watch the Koalas in the trees above was an amazing experience and well worth the drive off the Great Ocean Road.

My wife and I stayed in one of the solar cabins. It was well set out, comfortable and perfect for our stay. We had come down to the Otway national park for a few days of hiking and exploring in the area. It was nice to be able to cook our own meals as the facilities were more than adequate.
We also appreciated the help of the park staff to provide us with directions to different places of interest and hiking trails.
Finding a koala outside our cabin every morning was a great way to start the day!!
Bimbi Park is certainly well situated to explore the beauty of the Otways and we would highly recommend the park to anyone looking for a great, relaxing time away.

We had the most wonderful stay at Bimbi Park this weekend!
The facilities were great!
The owners were lovely.
Our kids loved all the activities to do around the park and loved getting up close to the Koalas and the beautiful native birds!
We enjoyed a lovely walk from the park to the Cape Otway lighthouse station.
It's been one of our favourite parks we have visited so far! Highly recommended staying at Bimbi Park! We will definitely be back.

This is the most wonderful camping ground and caravan park! Different types of accommodation to suit everyone. I stayed in an old style caravan. I stayed in an old style caravan. It was such a delight, clean, super comfortable bed with donna and hotel style linen, nice and warm everything you needed in the kitchen. The toilet block was immaculately clean. The wildlife was wonderful and so was the service. I highly recommend this magical place.

We used a powered site. The amenities are modern and clean. The manager is both friendly and a great source of ideas for activities. We spent four nights there and that was barely time to explore this beautiful area. Highly recommended. PS We could see the self contained units and they looked terrific.

Well, some other parks may have more facilities or larger campground. This park was so much more natural and beautiful. Additionally, all of the facilities were clean and bright and usable. To top that off, doing the koala hunt every day was the highlight of our entire journey. we managed to find Koalas and we checked on half of them Multiple times every day to see how they were doing. I would recommend this park to everyone!

We've stayed here twice now and loved it. Quiet spot away from the busy-ness of the Great Ocean Road. Spotted 14 Koalas too! A relaxing spot with easy day trips to waterfalls and not far from Apollo Bay.

We recently enjoyed a delightful visit to Bimbi Park with our family. The park is impeccably maintained, seamlessly blending the beauty of nature with comfort. Our accommodations were clean and cozy, making us feel at home. The area was both tranquil and secure, perfect for family activities. The bushwalking trails were a highlight, featuring breathtaking views and being easily navigable for children. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally friendly and supportive. We faced a car issue during our stay, and the staff went above and beyond to assist us, using their vehicle to charge our car's battery. They ensured our problem was resolved before leaving, which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Bimbi Park for a family retreat that offers both relaxation and adventure in a peaceful environment.
