6 reasons families love to stay at Discovery Parks
Size really matters
Discovery Parks cabins can accommodate any number from two people to groups of up to twelve in 3- or 4-bedroom cabins. They feature separate bedrooms, some with an ensuite bathroom and modern walk-in showers. Many have a queen bed in the primary suite with bunk beds in other rooms, which are always a hit with the kids. Plus, an extra cot or fold-out is easily added. Best yet, this means you can have your own private space while the littlies have their own quiet nook. Now that’s a win for all!

At-home facilities at your fingertips
Discovery Parks cabins have at-home facilities at your fingertips to ensure a smooth transition from home to holiday. Fully equipped kitchens come with gas stovetops, microwave ovens and plenty of kitchen space. Open-plan living areas are spacious, with separate living and dining areas offering plenty of room to lounge.
Outside, spacious verandas and timber decking areas are ideal for evening dinners. Essentials such as toiletries and bed linen all come as standard, too. Meaning less to pack – and unpack – during your stay.
Free family fun activities onsite
Onsite, free access to an array of activities inside each park will keep kids entertained for days. From water and splash parks to adventure playgrounds, swimming pools, bouncing pillows, BMX pump tracks, games rooms, movie nights, and even cooking classes. There is something for all ages and interests, including kids’ club holiday programs and friendly staff for any local travel advice. And the best part? This means more time for you.

Affordability friendly
A Discovery Parks cabin also keeps costs lower. From preparing your own meals in your fully equipped kitchen to all the free kid’s activities on site. So there is no need to pay for additional fun park fees. Discovery Parks is perfectly priced for maximum fun at a minimal cost.

Not just for kids
It’s not just about them… there is plenty of fun for adults, too. With the kids happy and immersed in the onsite activities means more downtime for you. Sound good? Relax on your private deck with a coffee and delve into your latest novel. Or, come night, enjoy a glass of your favourite wine. While outdoor BBQ areas are a social way to make new friends and share a drink over a sausage sizzle.

Pet friendly too
Leaving home doesn’t mean leaving your furry loved ones behind. Your fur baby can join in all the family fun. Many Discovery Parks sites are dog friendly, meaning no need to plan – or pay – a pet sitter. Parks have plenty of space to explore, plus many parks have pet-specific facilities like dog bowls, off-leash play areas, dog washes and cabins with their own fenced-off kennel areas. Check your Park of choice before booking to see what options are available.
