Discovery Parks - Hobart

We were severely disappointed when we arrived to this park. There were 4 sites squashed together and it would have easily been the smallest site we have ever stayed on. Barely enough room to set up the awning and you are looking into your neighbours window the whole time. The astro matting on our site was filthy and smelt mouldy, the highway is literally metres away and you’re camping next door to a prison. Amenities were an unusual set up and overall it was just a horrible location and feel. Very run down facilities, random cars parked throughout the park and just very noisy from the highway. We ended up leaving early and not seeing out our booking as we were incredibly dissatisfied. It may be great for an overnight stop but it was not worth the significant price we paid. It is sad to admit that we think this would have to be the worst caravan park in Tasmania. It pays to do some proper research and the website is very misleading to what you are actually presented with. One positive is that the staff were friendly and welcoming.

My overall rating is listed as average since the accommodation is located across the highway from a female prison. Despite this, we did feel safe during our stay and access to the park is via a boom gate. Our cabin was very well equipped, with amazing hot water, a washing machine and the best hot chocolate around! Convenient vehicle parking, right next to our accommodation. The office hours are limited however there is a key drop off box if needed. Shops are a short drive away if you need to buy groceries during your stay.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cabin was cosy, well presented and comfortable. It was also very clean which we loved. The park itself has great facilities. great BBQ area and a jumping pillow and mini golf for the kids. Great experience, loved it.

Do not expect any privacy. Do not put up a "please do not disturb" sign The cleaners get offended, ( knock on the door 3 or 4 times a day to say things like " what are you doing? What are you watching? and don't do their jobs . Shame the housekeeping staff let the place down
