Official groupings and Quokka Watch feed labels
The official page lists North Thomson Units as Ocean View, Premium and Premium View, with Heritage Bungalows, Heritage Cottages and the Chalet separately. Quokka Watch's availability feed uses more detailed heritage labels and also currently exposes North Thomson Standard. Those labels are retained for monitoring, but they are not presented as additional current official groupings.
