Lee from Australia (October 16, 2024)

8/10

It was very close to venue and the facilities very clean.

What could be improved: For a local to book this was quite expensive especially at a caravan park. It almost costs as much as hotel.

Eloise from Australia (September 24, 2024)

The property was able to accommodate overflow parking for our group and catered for a slightly earlier check in, with a smile! We’d been on an intense outback charity event and all were so grateful to arrive to accommodation, that surpassed all group member expectations!

What could be improved: Nil

Have stayed before and will stay again as its always clean and comfortable and the check in process is very easy. Location is central and easy to get to. The cabins are comfortable and have everything you need.

The park was great, lovely pool,nice grounds. Late check in was sorted by the park staff so appreciated.
The park was on the highway but close your room door and no noise, bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. Staff that we dealt with were great.

Discovery Parks always deliver. Our cabin was super clean and very comfortable. The bed was great. Wifi is spotty and weak so we used our Telstra hotspot. We really like Discover Parks and try to stay in one if we can. They are consistent, clean, shared bathrooms are clean and well done.

We had to drive to everything but I felt we were lucky to get a place last minute. Darwin is a funny place. We found a kabab restaurant that was very good considering it was just a hole in the wall joint! There was an Aboriginal Art Show that was amazing.
It's famous for it's WWII stuff but we didn't have time. Off to Litchfield and Kakadu.

What could be improved: The location was in an industrial area. Not far from town. It wasn't bad, just not pretty or interesting.
