They a fun loving family who get away as often as possible and love holidays of all sorts but particularly those that include water sports. So we’re not surprised to learn that the kids are dying to road test the giant coloured waterslide!

  • Fun in the sun

    We stayed here at the beginning of the year in a two bedroom superior spa chalet and it was absolutely beautiful. 2 bed rooms so kids have their own and a great spa in the bathroom. A spacious lounge with flat screen tv and DVD player.The facilities for children are brilliant with the bouncing pillow and a water slide, and you are so close to everything.

  • Overall review.

    In our overall perspective the Mandalay Holiday Resort was a great central location to stay in the Busselton area. It truly does have so many activities on offer you don't have to leave if you don't want! (Weather permitting!) It is close to wineries, farms, and a wide array of tourist places to visit should you wish to get out and about. The accommodation is comfortable and relaxing and we wish we could have stayed longer or had sunny weather to enjoy the facilities more than we were limited to-due to the rain.

    We felt very privileged to have this opportunity though and thank the MOM team very much and Mandalay Holiday Resort for having us! We would love to return in the future and stay longer.


  • Our Accomodation.

    We stayed in a 3 bedroom chalet. The attention to detail in the chalet is almost faultless! The living area had 2 lounges and a flat screen TV with DVD player (DVD's available for hire at the office). Air-conditioning and heating and a ceiling fan in the kitchen though none in the bedrooms. Many windows throughout provide a wonderful open and spacious view of the property. The table was actually big enough to fit 6 people comfortably...we have stayed at other places and had to take turns sitting at the table as there were not enough chairs or space to seat everyone for a meal. The kitchen was equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, toaster and kettle but no oven. There was no washing machine or dryer in our chalet though other ones do-so be sure to request on with those should you need them. On a longer stay it would be very useful although the property had a Laundromat that you can pay to use.

    The master bedroom had a queen size bed and LCD TV. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms contained 2 king single beds in each and all of the bedrooms had built in wardrobes with shelves for clothing, hanging space and double mirror doors to hide all the clothes. The kids loved being able to unpack their clothes even though it was only 2 days! :)

    The bathroom and toilet were clean and modern and there was also a clothes dryer which helped with drying the towels as 5 towels on the one hanger didn't dry any very well. There was ample bench space and a welcome pack of soaps, hand gel, shampoo and conditioner. There is no place to bath a baby so you would need to shower them or bring a baby bath. Other chalets may cater to that need.


  • Mandalay office convenience items

    On the day that it was raining we were really stuck for ideas for entertainment. We visited the local chocolate, cheese and fudge factories. But at the office of Mandalay, the staff were really helpful and the variety of convenience items were very surprising! From milk to butter and cereals and even colouring books and pencils for the kids! These items below helped keep the kids happy during the rainy day.


  • Ample play equipment to keep the kids happy!

    Mandalay had so many different activities for the kids to stay occupied for hours! From a giant jumping pillow to different playgrounds for different age groups, to swimming pools (one indoor and one outdoor) and even an undercover games room which included arcade machines, a pool table and table tennis table - (however charges applied in the games room).

    Unfortunately it rained all day on the only full day we had there so we could not utilize all the property had to offer. The Giant water slide was closed off much to the dismay of the kids-but it was freezing and it was not swimming weather anyway! :) There was 1 patch of about 30 minutes that it stopped raining so we raced out to jump on the giant jumping pillow!

    They also have bike hire facilities. From adults bikes to children's and even baby/toddler seats and the bike trailers-all can be organised so you can enjoy a lovely ride on a sunny day. We wished we had been able to have the weather for that as it looks like a perfect family activity. The beach was directly across the road which had riding/walking paths.

  • Close restaurants

    The chalets had fully equipped kitchens (though no oven in ours) there were also bbq facilities on the property of Mandalay and if we had been staying longer we would definitely have used them! They were undercover and looked well maintained.

    There was no restaurant on site but we found lots of restaurants close by and most said they were family friendly - one that we ate at even had a paper table cloth and crayons provided so that the kids were occupied while we waited for the food! Needless to say both the grown ups and the kids had fun drawing!


  • Sutability of the chalet for young children.

    We loved the fact that the chalets had space between them (so you couldn't hear the next people and vice versa) and they were gated! Extra security that if a young toddler escaped out the front door there was a verandah and a fence with a gate! My 3 year old could open it but there was definitely an advantage to it. Just that extra peace of mind and confidence as I know most toddlers love to try get out the door! :)


  • Arrival/check-in review

    On arrival we were so impressed with the level of attention to detail. A gentleman jumped on his bike and rode in front of the car to direct us to our chalet. He then showed us around the accommodation so we knew where everything was. The accommodation is very spacious for a few days even a few weeks! We were kindly upgraded to a 3 bedroom chalet as the 2 bedroom had bunk beds that our kids could not sleep in. There was no restaurant on site so found a lovely local restaurant that we all loved and had a great first night. We can't wait to get out and explore the park more today! :)

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
