The place was packed when we arrived, so book in if you can. We camped out and used the facilities which were very clean and acceptable. Had fun with other guests around the fire pit. Overall, very good.

The cabin had everything we needed. It was obviously new and well appointed. Great refuge for when the rain came through! The park itself is really impressive - modern additions to the facility stood out.

It was wonderful staying at the property. Their amenities were excellent...only suggestion is to include drinking water in the cabins and increase the food options within the property. We had to go to main market down the street to get the food, however, overall it was wonderful staying there.

The property was nice and the cabin was a good size. I liked that it had a full sized oven. Shower was a bit temperamental though. One thing that was a let down was the lack of good customer service by the reception staff. It put a bit of a sour note on my stay.

First time staying at Discovery Parks and can say that I will happily be back again. Truly enjoyed our stay there! Perfect location, walking distance to shops all whilst keeping the serenity in the area. Cute cabins that are updated and well kept. The only downfall was there was no internet working in our cabin. After a long drive from Melbourne to Goolwa, we were hoping to unwind and watch a film, but it was late at night and no staff were operating at that time. It showed the TV connected to Wifi, but there was no internet to the Wifi. Not sure what happened or why...but other than that, we were extremely impressed with the place and will be back again for a longer period of time!
