Old Bar 2024 - Lani's - now Ingenia Old Bar

[Grantus]

Enough hot water for all the campers too? 

I only ask because I’ve been told the dawn showers were hot, but not for much left after that….. and did need attention/ upgrade. 

Although not staying at Lanis, also really looking forward to the Old Bar Beach Festival long weekend, to catch up with all again.

Can’t comment on the hot water supply in the amenities block Grant……we were on an ensuite site.
Given the amount of negative feedback regarding the hot water in years past, I’d be very surprised if the issue hasn’t been sorted out. There seems to be a lot of money being spent on the property to bring it into line ……

Here’s hoping. If you are paying for use of amenities in your camping fee, you kinda expect a hot shower when you want one……

Be warned about the road works going in to Old Bar - I can't see them getting it completed before the festival. 

The road outside the new ambulance station is a nightmare.

We stayed at Ingenia Suffolk Park on our way up to Airlie the other weekend and I can only say good things too…..pets allowed……fire allowed……..good Pizza place at the front BYO…….and a very nice walk to the beach and a ten minute walk down to a very good bakery…….$34pn

Just learned from Doug (douggieboy) that Old Bar (Ingenia) is now aligned with Big 4, so show your Big 4 card when paying any balances on arrival for a Big 4 discount 

I just had a reply to my query with BIG4 - it may not be that straightforward.
It looks like bookings need to be made through BIG4 online for the discount to apply at "Partner Parks".

"We refer to your email below and advise . . .  you can obtain the 10% membership discount at our partners parks such as Ingenia Holidays Old Bar Beach only when booking at a Partner Park, is made via online www.big4.com.au.   

BIG4 Perks+ Members who book directly through the partner park’s own website, over the phone or as a walk in will not have their 10% membership applied to the bookings there."

Thanks for the clarification Doug....
We were just up there and asked a similar question, same response.
They were also very guarded when I asked about my Big4 Perks......free ice every day, early check in, late checkout for being a "Top Mate".
I could not get a direct answer at the time.
I'll go back and delete my previous post.
