Discovery Parks - Hobart reviews
57Wow. This place is an absolute dive. I've stayed in manyyyyyy caravan parks - this one takes the cake for being the worst. My cabin is disgusting. Pee all over the toilet floor. It's a shame reception is closed, I would've demanded another cabin.
Service was great. Location was only 15 mins from the centre of Hobart. There are not many sites. Ensuit sites are very small and unusually placed with no space to put an awning out. Aside from this the park was quite nice.
Perfect location, I was worried being over the east side of Hobart but the location was so central to everything we wanted to visit.
Beautiful staff, very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back 10/10
My stay at Discovery Parks in Hobart, Australia, was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the stunning natural surroundings and the warm hospitality of the staff.
The accommodations were impeccable, offering a range of options from cabins to powered sites for campers. My cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with modern amenities. It felt like a home away from home.
What sets Discovery Parks apart is its perfect blend of nature and convenience. The park is nestled in a picturesque location, allowing me to enjoy the beauty of the Tasmanian landscape while still being a short drive away from Hobart's attractions.
The facilities on-site were fantastic, including a well-maintained pool, barbecue areas, and a camp kitchen. It's a great place for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
The staff were incredibly helpful, providing local recommendations and ensuring that I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the area added to the overall experience.
If you're planning a trip to Hobart and want to immerse yourself in Tasmania's natural beauty without sacrificing comfort, I highly recommend Discovery Parks. It's a fantastic place to unwind, explore, and create lasting memories. I can't wait to return!
Stayed about a week on a powered site. Staff very obliging, the location is perfect to use as a base and explore the Hobart and its surroundings amenities clean and look new. They accommodate for all ages. Would definitely recommend this park without hesitation
Just recently stayed here with my two dogs, pet friendly cabin was a breeze to stay in and im glad I could bring my dogs with me i know where to stay when I go down that way for any reason!
Only thing Is apart from how clean the cabin was I wish cleaners to careful eye on skirting boards they were a tad dusty and the air con kept the room nice and warm but for the price and cabin 10/10 definitely recommending this to all my pet loving friends and family if they go that way and get stuck for accomodation
Better than expected from the Wotif listing. The cabin was perfect for our young family and we had a fantastic week in Hobart on holiday. The desk staff were super friendly and very helpful too, down to calling us and letting us know our daughter had left her barbie behind! We had time to head back to get it, so averted a major personal tragedy.
We were initially 50/50 on the location as it’s on the northern outskirts of Hobart, but it turned out to be a great location as right on a major arterial and only 20 minutes drive from Richmond which has a lot of great attractions and worth a day’s visit, as well as convenient to other directions.
Highly recommended especially for families travelling on a budget.
Nice enough for an overnight stay. We had noisy people beside us which was annoying. Ensuites are very basic but fine. Staff were very friendly a little expensive but that's to be expected this time of year.
Two bedroom self contained cabins with everything. Washer, dryer, dishwasher, air conditioner, electric bbq, full kitchen. Small gripe about the curtains. Light still gets in at sunrise meaning we were up early regardless. No ceiling fan in the bedroom so the air con ended up running all night.
I wanted to cancel 1 person from booking. Unbeknown to me as we arrived on Boxing day, they advised the whole booking was cancelled, and could not rebook us in. We came from interstate to visit family. Luckily in our case we were able to be put up. But it wasn't the best. Imagine if people came from interstate and being Christmas new year period, they had no alternative.
Never going back. Due to the incompetence. Not even an email confirming cancellation.
The cabin is very old and needs renovation. The room stinks and dirty, hair everywhere, including bed sheets. Aircon doesn't work. Very disappointed.
Loved this place, had everything a caravan park/cabin you would want, little expensive but the receptionist did a great job and made it a little cheaper, with us being pensioners, and she was helpful with information, thank you
Arrived early 9.30a, rude old lady on desk snapped you're early. Honestly I didn't realise it was 9.30a, distances in Tasmania very short.
Instead of asking what was my accommodation she snapped "check I'm 2pm"
She needs training ask first.
Noisy but everything else ok
We booked a powered site for our motor home, booking processes were easy and the facilities nice and clean. Unfortunately I left my oodie hanging in the shower on Tuesday morning. After checking this morning I was told the cleaner saw it hanging but left it - and now it is gone. It is a shame the cleaner didn't take it to lost property but apparently that is the policy.
Some construction work going in the site and we were not aware of this initially when we made the booking. After informing even they carry the work and its really disturbing.
Cabin was a budget one so very out dated but at least clean. Will maybe book a better cabin next time
I booked a cabin for my daughter and her band mates to stay in while performing in Hobart. Unfortunately, due to covid, they had to cancel the gig so I rang to advise that the booking was no longer required. The lady (Tegan, I think?) I spoke with was extremely friendly, helpful and understanding and I was so grateful for her assistance. The call left such a positive impression that I will definitely stay there in the future. Thank you!
We are staying in a 2 bedroom cabin. It has good facilities for cooking with a full fridge. It also has a washer and dryer for longer stays. The surrounds are peaceful as the grounds are lined with trees.
Very disappointed in the customer care. My partner booked a room and due to unforseen circumstances had to cancel, when we called to cancel the lady said we should see the refund on monday morning. Monday came and nothing so i called again, and was told within 24-48hrs, still nothing so to I called Thursday and they still couldn't give me an answer. Just feel like they don't care. I know they are running a business, but no offer of a discounted stay or complimentary room. Yet here we are and still awaiting the refund a week later. Think I will stick to Mornington one where they bend over backwards to keep customers satisfied.
Wouldnt really recommend this place. Staff act friendly but aren’t very understanding and this one particular guy named Ash is the most rudest person I have dealt with, answered the phone with ‘hello you called on my day off? How can I help you’ … never been treated so rudely
Wifi is horrible and non existent, it dosnt clarify anywhere that wifi is free because it dosnt work. First day I told him I must be so unlucky it’s not working, he said it’s rare that it’s not, next day he was saying what do you expect? It’s a free wifi.
You assume it works upon booking … staff are not helpful and if something goes wrong they don’t sort it out and don’t get back to you. As a female traveller alone you would think they would show some concern, they have no qualms about sorting and making things convenient in times of need. Would not recommend at all, toilet was also dirty upon arrival …
