Discovery Holiday Parks
Perth, South West, WA

Overview

The capital of Western Australia, Perth is located alongside the Swan River, some 20km’s inland of the Indian Ocean. Perth offers an endless array of fun activities, fabulous shopping and delicious alfresco dining, but by far, the most popular attraction, are her fabulous beaches. Clean, sandy, pristine strips of silky white sand with clear water…it’s tempting not to leave! But you would surely miss some amazing experiences.

Just south of Perth, the Port city of Fremantle and the beautiful Rottnest Island are definitely worth a visit. In the historic city of Fremantle bask in the alfresco dining, markets and entertainment, whilst after a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island, soak up the relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy fine wines in the Swan Valley region, or for spectacular Perth, visit Kings Park and the Botanical Gardens and experience the tree-top walk.

With just so many activities to keep you busy, you will need somewhere tranquil to rest your weary head. Escape to the Discovery Holiday Parks - Perth, located just 20 minutes from the city centre, it is surrounded by beautiful wildlife and is the ideal haven to recharge those batteries.

Discover Perth. But be prepared…you may not want to leave!

Attractions & Activities

4 Day Itinerary

Day 1 – Perth Zoo

Australia’s best small zoo is just 5 minutes from the Perth CBD on the banks of the Swan River.  Perth Zoo is open every day of the year - in fact it has not closed for a single day since it opened back in 1898.

The zoo has a huge variety of animals from all over the world including giraffes, tigers, penguins, a reptile house, lots of different species of birds, a large range of plants and many more animals and attractions throughout the zoo. There are also a number of eateries located in the zoo.

You will need at least half-a-day to see everything Perth Zoo has to offer but we recommend a full day to make the most of your visit.

Perth Zoo's Close Encounters take you behind the scenes to see and learn about their rare and extraordinary animals, up close! Close Encounters provide informative and exciting perspectives of the animals on display at Perth Zoo.

Experiences include:

Behind the Scenes Tours - enjoy being that one step closer to  amazing animals with a unique insight to behind the scenes life at the Zoo.

Keeper for a Day - tag-along with a Keeper and discover the different aspects of their day and how they care for Zoo animals.

For more information, call Perth Zoo Events on (08) 9474 0402.

Day 2 – Swan Valley Self DriveTour

For a winter escape away from Perth, few places are as appealing as the Swan Valley.

This ‘Valley of Taste’ is situated only 25 minutes from Perth and not only offers a glorious tapestry of wineries, breweries, cafes and restaurants but some gorgeous natural scenery – especially in wintertime.

For in winter the Swan River swells to a new high, the countryside glows in hues of verdant greens and the air takes on a cool, fresh, invigorating feel.

And in winter the wining and dining establishments take on a whole new feeling of romance as fireplaces emit cosy warmth, candles glow from table tops and the menus explode with rich and hearty winter foods that will warm your very soul.

The Swan Valley is also a fantastic winter escape for the whole family and boasts a great line up of attractions aimed at keeping young ones entertained. There are also plenty of great picnic spots and the Swan Valley Cycle Path is popular with everyone.

Day 3 – Rottnest Island

Surrounded by coral reefs and shipwrecks, the underwater life in and around the island makes diving and snorkelling both breathtaking and beautiful for expert and novices alike.

The best way to experience Rottnest is to grab a bike and a snorkel and take off! With 63 sheltered beaches and 20 bays to choose from, you’ll soon experience the magic of Rottnest for yourself.

RottnestIslandis also home to a small marsupial known as the quokka. Growing less than a foot tall, the quokka cannot be found anywhere else in the world which is why it is a star attraction on the Island.

Rottnest Express runs tours from the park. Their Discover Rottnest Package allows you to discover a side of Rottnest that most people never see. You’ll be taken on a comprehensive coach tour of the Island. There’s a full commentary by your driver who’s a veritable gold mine of information. He’ll tell you stories from days gone by as well as giving you all the current day happenings.

 Rottnest Express also offers an historic tour and if you’re a history buff this tour is not to be missed. The Island has a long and colourful history and your guide will paint a picture that takes you back in time. You’ll see the massive guns and tunnels that made Rottnest the fortress she was and also learn a little about the Islands Aboriginal heritage.

Day 4 – Relax in Perth

Feel like a walk amongst the treetops while you enjoy spectacular views of the city skyline and the State Botanic Garden? Then come and walk the Lottery West Federation Walkway. The Walkway was opened in August 2003 and is currently one of Kings Park and Botanic Garden's most popular tourist attractions.

The Walkway extends 620 metres through the Botanic Garden along a combination of on-ground pathways and a spectacular elevated 52m glass and steel arched bridge suspended amongst a canopy of tall eucalypts.

KingsParkhas many other bush walks and beautiful gardens and lawns which make a great place for a picnic. Many favourite spots overlook the Swan River with amazing views of the city in the background.

When you’ve finished enjoying your picnic lunch why not wander down to the foreshore and listen to the Bell Tower? Walk around the Barrack Street Jetty and enjoy one of Perth’s main attractions. Then stroll 60 metres across to the Ferris wheel and view Perth from a whole new angle.
