Requires attention

My husband and I stayed at Discovery Parks en route to the Gold Coast with our small dog which is why we chose this accommodation as it was inexpensive and dog friendly. We arrived when it was dark to get our key from the safe outside reception (we were given clear instructions by sms about the key) but there was no sign indicating where reception was so finally we had to ring the after hours number to be guided in very dark conditions. We then found our cabin with the help of a map and it was lovely that they had put the heating on for our late arrival. After settling in we tried to turn the TV on but the remote didn’t work so inspecting the TV we managed to get it on but only to discover how filthy and dusty it was behind. The TV is small and hangs out from the wall so it would not be hard to keep clean. Also the air con/heating and TV remotes could both do with a good wipe over. After spilling a little water from the dog’s bowl I went to wipe it up off the floor and discovered it needed a good scrub not just a wipe over which I expect happens after every stay. Also the blind over door needed fixing. The bed was fine and we did get a good nights sleep. A nice place to take the dog for a walk.

It's sort of hard to rate because I stayed involuntarily during the floods in 2025 because I spent the previous night sleeping in my car and couldn't get the hundred kilos home to Port. I'm sure the surrounds are spectacular under normal circumstances but we were almost in the brown water of the river. The cabin was pretty cool though and I felt like it was a great decision and lucky I found them.

Loved this park, we visited in non school holidays and it was quiet amd relaxed, we can see that kids would love it and imagine the park gets packed during school holidays. Id stay here for sure again.the apartment was spacious and comfortable with gorgeous views of the river. The only improvemrnt point internet connection was poor and frequently unavailable.

The property and the staff were great However, the cafe is expensive Three people in front of us and we had to wait one hour to get our food Could not get poached eggs because they could not cook them did not know how And it was run by young people, which is not their fault. They are there to learn. Maybe they should put someone experienced on with them to cook.
