The Cove Holiday Village Point Samson

Arrive and book in to find $52 per night powered. We just book for 1 night to start, we'll see what we think once we're settled as to whether we stay longer. The caravan park is offering a deal of stay 3 nights and get the 4th free - but we're pretty sure we'll be wanting to be further along our track than to commit to that. We go to our allotted site No. 60, Roger backs the van into position and unhitches the ute. We then do our set up - with awning out before getting into our bathers to have a swim in the pool. Relax about our campsite, Roger having 2 swims, me just catching up on my messages. Jordan Plunkett has made contact to let us know that he and Dani are expecting a baby boy due the end of December. Lovely news. Roger and I agree we'd best go for our walk (thinking Oceans to Outback) before tea. We go for a good walk about Point Samson - staying near and walking on the beaches. Back for tea, Roger uses the airfryer to reheat the takeaway food we got last night - pull apart meat and chips - worked well. We follow this with fresh fruit salad and yoghurt. Then cuppas with a piece of apple slice each. We go have showers, basic tidy up - think the dishes can wait for the morning (not many). Relaxing before bed.
Roger has us up and about nice and early this Wednesday morning. He's keen to go driving about this area checking out the small towns around here. So after our cooked breakfast (bacon, eggs etc on toast) and quick tidy up, we organise ourselves to be prepared to be out most of the day (bathers and snacks packed). We call in at the park's office and book in for another night, before driving out before 8am.
Well we're back at our campsite around 10.30am - things didn't quite work out the way we thought.....did get to drive about, but Cossack, one of the places we thought we could spend some time at, was inaccessible. Road closed - find out later it will be like this due to road works until 18th this month. It's a hot day so we'll just hang about happily in the caravan park. Lunch is our usual, sandwiches and toasties. In between relaxing with a book I make a batch of Anzac biscuits - camp kitchen here has a fantastic oven. Roger keeps cool in and out of the pool. I join in at the pool later in the day, then Roger and I go for a short 2km walk - check out the nearby wharf. Then back for tea, Roger cooks up chicken snitzels and chops up some salad. We follow this with my apple slice for dessert. Showers time, reading and bed.
Up at 6am, breakfast porridge and toast (Roger). Roger gets our caravan ready to move out - then patiently waits while I spend time on our laptop, dealing with getting my Canada trip for next year sorted - I'm organising an Early Arrival - so I can spend time with my family 💕 We leave just after 8am.Read more
