Cooinda Retreat is a tranquil spot with breathtaking views and great facilities, making it a favored destination for campers seeking a peaceful getaway. Many visitors appreciate the lush grass, well-maintained grounds, and the convenience of a camp kitchen. While most find the atmosphere serene, a few have noted issues like a strong sewage smell and navigation difficulties on-site. With friendly hosts and dog-friendly options, it's a welcoming place for both families and solo travelers.
Overall, we had a nice experience, loved sleeping under the stars and hearing the sounds of the waves. The pet enclosure was great means our dog can be off leash inside. Site was close to town and the beaches.
Unfortunately, there were just some inconsiderate people in the nearby cabins who talked loudly and their kids making noises way past 10pm also some dogs who were very yappy and barky. Management didn’t seem to do much but this site is run by volunteers so they might not have been around overnight.
Lastly, there were many ants and several ant nests/holes on the grass close to where we can pitch our tent. And lots of ants at the camp kitchen. But all of these were easily controlled with bugs spray so that’s all good.
What a fantastic spot and hosts. We accidentally set up on the wrong part of the camp.. totally our mistake! We were told this was ok and did not have to move. PHEW! Such a lovley relaxing 2 nights with the dog in a secure place. Beautiful view, good facilities, great location!
Would recommend to anyone.
We spent a lovely 3 nights on site 2A. Our dog loved the freedom. The caretaker was helpful and friendly when we had a bit of trouble figuring out the sites. Views were awesome. There was a school camp in for the first few days but we didn’t really hear them at all. Short drive into Victor or bike ride. We will definitely book again.
Only stayed for one night but was easy to find everything, facilities were good and access to the site was excellent. Many thanks for an excellent quick trip.
Absolutely serene and tranquillity. Ammenties are perfect, fantastic showers with great water pressure. Camp kitchen is amazing. I absolutely love this place.
