Christine is very friendly and accommodating. I camped here in my tent and really appreciated how well cared for and clean the shared facilities were, and how safe, peaceful and quiet it was. Really nice showers. The gardens are beautiful and I enjoyed being able to walk along the river into town. Was only planning to stay two nights but ended up staying three as it is such a nice spot. Would definitely recommend it!

We have stayed at multiple top 10 parks during our 3 week travels and this is by far our favourite. Christine was super friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The park is extremely well kept and very very clean. Shower/toilet ensuite blocks are very neat and tidy, shower pressure is so good too. The camp kitchen was also very clean, and it didn’t have that yucky camp kitchen smell that many do have. It was an all around great stay for us, we highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay at the Roxburgh Top 10 holiday park. I had booked the wrong date for our stay (out by a week!) and Christine was super helpful, changing our booking and finding us somewhere indoors to stay, as the forecast was for thunderstorms (and it turned out to be intense!). The cottage was super cute and comfortable and the setting was lovely. Highly recommend!
Marion R — Google review
Great park and facilities upgraded and modern. If coming off the cycle trail from the river using the back entrance be aware there is as VERY steep slope up to the camp with a loose gravel surface, the road is better. A very peaceful location.
RMW — Google review
Beautiful gardens. Very quiet site. Emplacement was jolly big. Wished we had booked more than one night in order to explore the area. Didn't use the showers which are a two dollar charge.
Stephen P — Google review
Really enjoyed our stay in one of the cottages. Perfectly set up with everything you need. Immaculate and cosy. Great operators, very thoughtful, and easy to communicate with.
Brandon W — Google review
Well what a find, not a big brash Top10 park & probably now my favourite. I stayed in my sleeper van and didn’t require power hook up. Very reasonably priced, grounds immaculate, facilities practical & very clean, Christine the owner was great. Close to the cycle trail, track down to the river, short walk or ride into town.
Judy D — Google review
This is an absolutely delightful spot. The grounds were beautifully maintained and there is so much for the kids to do - huge playground, games, bikes, places to explore. We stayed in a cabin and it was very spacious, comfortable and welcoming - honestly more homely and enjoyable than many hotels I've stayed in! Highly recommend, look forward to coming back for a longer stay in future.

Sally has created a bit of health magic in Roxburgh for everyone to enjoy. The grand old building that has now been transformed into their beautiful store offering an amazing range of different health foods. Also a very inviting gym facility that is welcoming for both fitness and nutrition. Sally has gone that further step by looking at well being and nutrition as a complete whole, so if you are passing or live near, stop and say hi. Highly recommended :)

Lovely place for fresh fruits. Bought some Clover Honey for $11 each for 500ml and some cherry juice at $29 each. Said to be good for sleeping.

Great fruit shop, well worth the stop. The fruit even smells like fruit, sadly not always the case now days. Website ordering too, best of both worlds here.

I bought a lot of cherries and he took the money. After five days, he told me that he was out of stock, and cancelled the transaction directly. He think refunding the money can make up for my waiting time.

Great fruit shop. Their jams are delicious 😋. Brought black doris jams and strawberry
David H — Google review
Brought tray of apricots yesterday evening, tray was made up for me.Had to throw most out today as were over ripe. I believe they took the opportunity to get rid of this fruit hidden under good fruit. Won't be buying from them again. *I posted this review sometime last year, I don't know why it shows up as a new review. There is no way to reply to the owners response so I have added this edit.
