Discovery Parks unveils new developments to kick-start 2025
Discovery Parks has unveiled exciting new accommodation developments as it builds on its as Australia’s leading owner-operator of lifestyle holiday parks.
From waterparks, resort style pools, eco-friendly cabins, the developments are part of Discovery’s $90 million investment strategy across its portfolio of 90 parks and resorts this financial year.
Discovery Parks Chief Development Officer John Domino said the recent developments have focussed on putting the guest experience at the forefront of investments.
“Our guests call our parks home for the duration of their stay, so we want to welcome them across our network with a diversity of facilities that enhance these destinations and enrich the holiday experience,” John said.
“We thank our guests for the successful summer period we’ve experienced, and we hope that we can continue to provide their home away from home, with features such as resort pools and water parks that they don’t need to clean or pay extra fees for, and morning coffees with fantastic views.
“It’s exciting to be involved in enriching our parks and communities with these experiences, and we will be doing much more in 2025.”
