This park is really nice. We stayed in a small cabin and we really enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. We strolled around the property and enjoyed seeing kangaroos and koalas as well as numerous types of birds. The staff at the desk are really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Wonderful location. Friendly, helpful staff who are happy to have a chat and share their knowledge of the area. Loved being able to wake up to the sounds of the birds and watch the kangaroos grazing only meters away while having a morning cuppa. Will definitely recommended this location to friends and family visiting the island.

Overall great stay!

The actual cabin was great. It was in a perfect remote location like we wanted. It was very comfortable and spacious. There were kangaroos and koalas around us, which was so great. Now the downsides - we arrived to the cabins around 6 pm and the front desk was already closed. We have USA phones with roaming data, but no data there. There was a sign up in the window to call their Australian number, but we had no way of doing so and had just driven 1.5 hours after getting off the ferry to get there. Thankfully our rental had a WiFi hotspot we were able to use to call. The lady who answered didn’t sound too pleased about us calling but we were able to get the key for the cabin. The other issue we had is that we booked one of the nicer cabins, which was further away from reception. The WiFi didn’t reach our cabin the whole time we were there. That was disappointing to say the least.

We stayed in 4 of the motel rooms. The rooms were spotless and looked brand new. The aircon took no time at all to warm the room and there was a good size communal kitchen. The park is very close to Flinders National Park, including Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. It is also quite close to Seal Bay and Raptor Domain.

The best!!

We had a one bedroom cabin with a veranda in a wonderful peaceful setting surrounded by eucalyptus trees. It was so fun to do the daily koala update as far as where she/he/they were located. Great place for all travelers and the perfect base to explore Flinders Chase. Thank you Discovery KI team for a great stay!

Pleasant stay

The location is ideal for a visit to Remarkable Rocks etc and other attractions around Western KI. The people were super friendly and helpful. The deluxe cabin was very comfortable. Quiet air con, plenty of space in the living area and a balcony where we could watch the kangaroos, geese, wallabies and even Koalas. Wifi was mostly ok. Telstra 4G worked well. There is a shop with enough for a simple meal and they do some takeaway items at lunch (pies etc). We loved our 2 night visit.
