Rainbow Pines Tourist Caravan Park

Very pleasant place to stay

On our arrival the BBQ was filthy, out of gas and had a broken burner. The next morning management were responsive and promptly replaced the gas bottle. The park management were friendly and helpful. Small tubs of worms were expensive at $20 - check them to ensure they are alive. The recycle bin was full on our arrival and never got emptied during the week of our stay. Overall the park is very dated and the $254 charged per night for the cabin is massively overpriced. I would recommend stopping at Buckenderra instead.

The cabins are very run down. I shared a cabin with another couple and the door to my bedroom was jammed half-way shut so had to slide out. It is a very old fashioned arrangement whereby I had to walk through their (main) bedroom to use the bathroom. There is no air conditioner but a heater instead with insufficient instructions, though finally worked it out! They have a minimum stay of 2 nights otherwise one must pay a penalty if you only need one night (our situation). I stayed the previous night in Providence Portal so there are plenty of other far superior accommodation choices (also Anglers Reach, plus Adaminaby) where there was no additional payment for one night only stay. Also the booking procedures for our group was unnecessarily cumbersome.

The toilet needs a renovation badly. Toilet basin tap water should come up with cold and hot mixture not separately cold and hot. The bunk beds matress protectors needs wash badly. They are very dirty at the moment. Living room sofa needs a urgent replacement

We have been here many times before on ski trips to Mt. SELWYN. Perfect budget accomodation. No shortage of hot water for a nice shower to warm up after a day on the ski slopes

We loved our visit to Rainbow Pines. The location is gorgeous. The facilities were clean and tidy. We enjoyed our camp fire. The site is not cramped. We enjoyed the bird life. The Rosellas will eat out of your hand!!
