Bimbi Park - Camping under Koalas Reviews

Although we were driving on local trails at night, the road surface was fine. Pay attention to the roadside prompts. There were many wild kangaroos wandering in groups on the road, so drive slowly. Beware of kangaroos standing in the road and staring at the car. The campground was very satisfied, although the flight was delayed and arrived at midnight. But the administrator took care of all the procedures and thoughtfully packaged the bathing token. Although the room was an RV, it was hygienic and clean. The towels were very comfortable. The next day I was woken up by the noise of a parrot. This is a real sanctuary with flocks of parrots and other birds. Unfortunately, there were strong winds and heavy rain, so we didn’t see the koala. Would go again. In the freezing rain, thank you! An elderly tourist took me to the administrator's residence. I will remember his appearance and enthusiasm throughout my life.

On the way of self-driving on the Great Ocean Road, before crossing Apollo Bay to Port Campbell, Otway National Park is a must-go mountain road. This campsite is one of the few accommodation options on this road. You can drive there with confidence. The road is paved with good conditions along the way. When you turn off the main road near the campsite, it is a gravel road that can be driven by ordinary cars. Kangaroos were seen on the roadside at night, and the reflection of the sign was quite scary. It is recommended to walk during the day. It is not a hotel, but more like a campsite with a variety of room types. There is no private bathroom. There is a public toilet in the entire camp. It is very clean but the water is limited. One token can wash hot water for 3 minutes. You can really see koalas in the campsite. During the day, go to the front desk to find the person in charge and ask which forest there is and then find it. The success rate is high.

I randomly chose this shop on the Great Ocean Road in the evening. I didn't expect to enter the koala territory and find koalas 100%. It's half an hour from Apollo Bay and is right in the middle of the Great Ocean Road. According to a Chinese here, after midnight, it is the peak period for animals to be active. Foxes and koalas start to come out and are not afraid of people. We didn't come out at night and missed the colorful stars in the sky and the obvious Milky Way. We booked late, so it was a bunk bed. A family of three contracted eight beds. The bathroom is public and needs to be walked over to use it. There are plenty of tools in the kitchen, so you can make your own room and heat it, which is very convenient. The next day we found many koalas

In a forest deep in the Great Ocean Road, driving in is a different experience. There is no wifi in the campsite and there is basically no signal. China Mobile has a little bit. The cabin is very clean and has everything you need. You can see the starry sky at night. The next day, I saw a koala on the tree at the door of the cabin. I was very lucky.

This campsite is amazing! It beats all hotels! I was so surprised Check-in: It was almost 7pm when we arrived, and they put the key in the door! It was very convenient for me to get it! The only drawback is that the eco room is not on the map, and I searched for a long time before I found it! It is a very quiet place! Location: You need to drive into a forest, but you may find wild koalas! You can also see a lot of wild cute kangaroos! This is really great! Kangaroos are all over the back mountain in the evening! So cute! Parrots chat everywhere in the early morning, it's very lively! Room: Everything is complete in the room, not very new but everything is available, and there is even a thoughtful electric blanket! The bed is also very comfortable! Cook something yourself, very comfortable! There is also kiln-baked pizza on weekend nights! Delicious and finger-licking! The key is the price! There is also a public kitchen for ordinary rooms! Very good 😎 Just clean it yourself! My son wanted to stay for another day but there was no room, he said he would rather live in the car! He also said that he would open a park like this when he grows up in China! I think it’s great and I support his idea. I will go to Bimbi Park if I have the chance! It’s great! So funny!

Beautiful campsite surrounded by nature.

We stayed at Bimbi Park as part of our Great Ocean Walk. It was great to have somewhere warm and comfy to come back to after a long day hiking. Seeing the koalas in the tress outside our room was a bonus. I highly recommend Bimbi Park for families because they have lots of things for the kids to do.

We had such a wonderful stay at Bimbi, one of the best run parks I had been too. Great facilities, everything was so clean and wonderful staff. We played mini golf, went on so many great walks right from the park and saw lots of koalas. Big thanks to the whole Bimbi team for making it such a special stay!

The location is fantastic, our cabin was situated on the edge of a paddock and surrounded by trees in which we saw multiple koalas each morning. The walks from the park to the beach and the loop then to the lighthouse were beautiful. Very peaceful. Only four stars because in winter the cabins are cold and the single heater isn’t very powerful , especially as it was not working initially. The very helpful staff member came immediately and sorted it out . In the winter you cook for yourself or drive 30 minutes to Apollo bay where you must try the Fishermans Coop . Food amazing

Cabins were clean and very comfortable Very pretty outlook and we saw koalas! We had food included which was absolutely amazing. Sophie was a great cook and a wonderful hostess. You can buy wine from the shop to eat with dinner. Breakfast was also very tasty and healthy. There were lots of other accomodation options like pods and camping spots. A really pretty place and the walks really amazing.

The deluxe cabins are perfectly comfortable and the setting is incomparable. Horses grazing in the pasture across the fence. Birds of all sorts all around. And the koalas! They weren’t kidding about calling this ‘camping with koalas.’ The trees along the road and around the campground were full of them! Yes, it really is a campground, so no other amenities nearby — bring your own food for cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen (and don’t forget any necessary condiments). This is a place you won‘t forget.

We stayed here for 3 nights in an eco cabin as part of our GOW with Walk91. The cabins are well appointed and very private. The staff were all very friendly and the catering was amazing! We hoped to see a local or two, but didn’t expect to see quite a few dotted around the park. Frank was a great host….and chef to boot!

Great campground. Very peaceful and plenty of room. Spotted a few koalas and heaps of birdlife. Nice to have a fire going on the cold nights. Easy walk to the lighthouse and Station beach. Brilliant hot showers. Great place for a base to explore the Otways. Highly recommend

We were doing the GOW, using Bimbi provided transfers or self driven, it's a great central location for up to the Wreck Beach point. Wonderful, peaceful location with more than acceptable accommodation and friendly, helpful owners.
