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.
pool area would be good for the summer months
Cute rabbits around the property

Really enjoyed our stay at Goolwa . 3 bedroom house was exactly the right size for us and was safe for the kids to play. Comfortable beds and great shower. Close to swimming pools and playground for the grand kids. Also close to shopping and food outlets at Goolwa.

Staff and rooms smells like Dettol

Never staying there again, the room smells like Dettol the whole we stayed there. Plus i paid extra for my 1 kid because i didn’t inform them in advance, even the room had 3 Bed they said its for 2 people only, terrible experience with the staff. But the park had alot of activity for the kids.

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!
