We really enjoyed LEAVING ……. REFLECTIONS AT HAWKS NEST!
The stay at Reflections Hawks Nest, was the worst experience we have ever had to endure. The park is old and run down, amenities in the same condition and the price charged is high! The management was totally incompetent and really couldn’t care less.
It was fine during the day although the amount of tents, vans, trailers and cars seemed very excessive, on the adjoining 8 or 9 sites, compared to the normal Reflections Parks policy.
But at night a communal feast seemed to be held with a central Gazebo food tent, Karioke machine and projector screen!
For 2 consecutive nights, yes that’s right, 2 consecutive nights we were subject to an absolutely disgraceful performance by the adjacent sites where a group gathering was going on before the main event started. (Friday night was after 11.00 before we called management) Karioke, with a machine, projector and very loud and out of tune vocals!
These people had no respect for anybody in the park. Ditto the park managers, Who actually said, “that people are allowed to enjoy themselves “! As are we!

We should have been offered an apology, instead of, we can move you to another site.
Disgraceful performance all around.
We will never stay at Reflections Hawks Nest again and we will ensure that this event is widely known!
We have stayed at many Reflections Holiday Parks and have NEVER encountered this behaviour or total lack of...
