From the moment we walked in, we loved this property. They have an amazing lot of multiple pools, a waterslide, jumping pillow, games rooms and buggies to drive around the property. The room/ lodge we stayed in was wonderful, clean and tidy, spacious, just a home away from home. We had an absolute ball and I haven't stopped talking about this place. If only all Discovery Parks could be like this one!

Quick Trip to the Alice

Quick visit to support my sister and family who were hiking the Larapinta Trail. We stayed here last year and were impressed with the accommodation and amenities available in the park, so it was a no brainer to stay here again.
