Discovery Parks - Clare

不要訂，不要訂，不要訂！重要的事情説三遍。和照片完全不符，屋裡設施陳舊簡陋，蒼蠅成羣。太差了實在沒法住，衹好連夜驅車回家了，因為這樣還衹是浪費錢，如果住，那就是花錢買罪受了。

We selected a budget cabin with a kitchenette and were very pleased with the facilities and the cleanliness. In addition to the standard microwave and electric kettle, there was a 2-burner hotplate and a banquet electric frying pan. Easy access (walking distance) to the Tourism and visitor information centre. Thereafter Paulette Wines, Seven Hills and Martindale Hall are less than half an hours drive. An added bonus it was very peaceful and conducive to relaxation. This was our main goal.

The cabins are well over priced compared to other parks around South Australia. For the price of their luxury 2 bedroom cabin, it is very small. There is no room to hardly move in the main bedroom with the queen bed. Forget trying to put a large bag or suitcase in there. The second bedroom has sleeps 4x in bunks. Again no room left for any bags. So the living area will be your storage space, which is also small if there are more than 2x people. The photos on the booking site make it look much larger than it is. The outside ground amenities e.g. swimming pool and paly equipment are good.

Excellent park central to wineries in the Clare Valley... awesome facilities with x2 pools...bmx track... bouncy pillow.... fully stocked camp kitchen and bbq areas.... pizza ovens... we stayed June long weekend and they had live music with coffee and pizza vans... reception staff are super friendly set the tone for a great stay.... will definitely be back.

Booked for ourselves and two other couples. Only had unpowered sites but that was OK. Couldn't do the booking as their computer was down. Were not told of the price but saw on the website it was $25 for unpowered site. FINALLY got an email 3 days later - $85 PER NIGHT - and wanted one night for deposit NOW. Two days before sent an email to us wanting it to be PAID IN FULL (we thought they were joking) but a phone call to us the next day and were threatened we would have to wait for at least an hour when we arrived if we didn't pay................ We paid and when arrived were greeted by blonde Hitler with no PR skills at all. (Think she was the same one that rang demanding full payment) She took great delight at giving us the three parks at the very extreme back of the park - actually it was just a grass area on a non-existing road next to piles of woodchips and gravel. To be positive at least we had a bit of room in our undulating scrub allotment and not cheek to cheek like so many others who were squeezed in. (One with a quarter of their caravan hanging over a deep creek). Hubby has recently had ankle surgery and we are both nearly 70 so was a bit of a pain we had to take a water bottle and a packed lunch to walk to the amenities - especially at night when there are no lights - need a torch unless moonlight. Plus no how water one morning. Googled same site when got home and price came up to $50 total for the same time frame - not $170 for two people for two nights with no power or water!!!!!!!! We have been HAD.............. We have stayed in a top caravan park in Darwin at peak holiday time with full services and that was less than two thirds of this price. In fact have NEVER paid this much even for a powered site. Shame on them and silly us for paying it !!!!!!!

We stayed in cabin which looked like one of the older cabins. It was very small but was all we needed for the week. Our bedroom was so small i could hardly walk around the bed to get in. The fly screens on the windows that our pillows were against were full of dust and needed a good clean. Toilet was running water inside it so we could hear it at night and bathroom door was hard to close. Kitchen was clean and tidy. There were lots trees around us which was great on the hot days. They service our cabin half way through our stay which was great. They bed linen was clean and beds were comfortable.
