Village National Pritchard Road Country Resort — Hotel in Emerald

We found the accommodation through the Tourist information Centre in the city and it was excellent.||||The park itself is run by a family who live on site and seem to have a good grasp of their customers. There was free wifi internet across the park (although the signal was stronger the closer to the main building you got), plenty of parking of which approximately half was undercover.||||We stayed in a chalet which was a building which had twin lodgings in but a room in the middle had been locked off to keep the noise from travelling between rooms.||||We had a fridge, ultra quiet AC, TV, wardrobes, and parking outside our door.
