What Our Lovely Guests Have To Say
Thank you for the 100s of great reviews and kind words, we love it here and love sharing it with you.
Lovely peaceful place to stay. The cabin was well appointed and very clean. We have family from UK with us and they were so excited to see koalas in the trees and kangaroos in the paddock. The fire drum was a hit too.
I was very satisfied with my stay. The staff were extremely polite and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The deluxe cabin was very well equipped, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for anyone traveling along the Great Ocean Road, and as a bonus, koala sightings are guaranteed.
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.
An amazing place. Clean, warm and tidy cabin with wall to wall Koalas. What a treat they were in the trees above us and we could here them grunting at each other in the night. Loads of birds and a few kangaroos too. Loved this place!
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! 🌞

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.
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.
Fantastic location and my family all enjoyed the accommodation , mini golf and the facilities at Bimbi. It's our second time at Bimbi Park and definitely will come back again!
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.
