Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach

What guests think

At Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach, reviewers praise the stunning beachfront setting with abundant wildlife and a peaceful vibe, plus family-friendly facilities like the pool and playground, while highlighting comfortable cabins and generally friendly, accommodating staff.

Several guests enjoyed ocean views and well-equipped kitchens, though a few noted smaller or dated cabins, awkward bathroom layouts, and occasional odors linked to bore water. Despite many comments about clean, well-kept grounds, multiple reviews mention kangaroo droppings around cabins as a trade-off for the wildlife. The location feels remote with limited nearby dining, and it can be busier on weekends and school holidays. Expect a scenic, family-friendly beach escape best suited to self-catering.

Very quiet, lots of kangaroos around, great location next to the beach, nice pool, kids play area. Would have been better if it had an onsite cafe and maybe a mini golf area. Friendly staff and good cabins.

Our three bedroom cabin was very neat and tidy close to the beach and to the pool and the kids playground, everyone really enjoyed themselves. I would definitely return here again.

We absolutely loved this stay. The cabin was cleaner than other similar places we stayed in the same trip, with better facilities - and the staff were just lovely. The place itself was amazing. The highlight of each day was walking down to the stunning beach and seeing all the kangaroos with their joeys on the way. Will definitely go back!

The area is nice, the cabin is comfortable, spacious. Restroom could be better. The only negative is the area around the cabin, which is covered by the feces of the kangaroos. I accept this as a price to pay for the incredible experience of having those free animals around you.

Nice little area to stay in. Not really any restaurants open nearby though. Cabin/cottage that we stayed in had a complete kitchen so we were able to cook our meals. A small grocery store is nearby. Comfortable stay. Nice view of the coast. Kangaroos were many and present in the area which made the only negative of the place...that being, their poop everywhere. Had to really watch where you walked. Swimming pool looked nice, but it was too cool out to enjoy. Ladies in the reception area were lovely...very welcoming. We even went to extend our stay an extra day and they were quite accommodating.

This property is fantastic. We stayed last year and loved it so much we stayed for 10 days this year. Its great if you love a relaxing holiday away from everyone. The weekends do get a little busy but we stayed in the seaview cabins which is a 2 story cabin. Wonderful place wonderful staff, even looking at buying a caravan down there.

property and area was nice but tried to charge us for having visitors in with us during the day and didn’t let us park our cars inside making us walk in the rain and carry all our stuff outside the caravan park all because my mate had to let his car in at the same time because he had all his gear in it and it was just easier than doing multiple trips. later when he tried to take his car back out of one of the ladies in the office got aggressive and rude with him not letting him take his car out and screaming at him in front of other residents and staff. later she told him that we aren’t aloud to park inside anymore and let him out.
