I arrived at 1pm and it state check in to Cabins was 2pm. As I walked in the lady behind counter was not friendly at all and just say \"check in is at 2pm and say come back\"
More important all cabins was already cleaned as we asked the lady that was cleaning a cabin so no delay there. we have travelled 1200km and that service was appalling. Most places would have let us in unless there was still issues with the cabin. We then came back at 2:45pm and office door was locked. Must say never seen service like that at all. That is why people like that give Mt Isa a bad name.

I like how the reception staff member warned us to not leave valuable items in the car as sometimes juvenile criminals will attempt to steal any valuable items.

I didn’t like that the TV in my room could only receive SBS TV via a TV aerial and that none of the streaming platforms (Netflix, ABC iview, 9Now, etc) could be watched on the SmartTV in room because the WI-FI was faulty and not working properly. This is quite poor on behalf of the parent company.

Comfortable Stay

Check in and out was easily completed and the staff I dealt with when checking in & out were approachable, friendly, & polite. Although accomodation used (Standard Cabin) was older & dated, the caravan park has spent money on refurbishing the cabin (interior paint, vinyl floor planking, & linen). The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were near new.

Horrible scammers. I paid and booked a room to stay overnight on 7 Oct 2024 through WotIf. However, I never received check in instructions. I called the property and left a voicemail. Still did not reply. Therefore I had to pay again for another hotel to stay overnight. The Wotif team tried to arrange me a refund but they were unable to do that coz the Discovery Parks did not agree to.
On the other hand, the Icon at Mt Isa I stayed because Discovery Parks did not facilitate my check in even after charging money was so helpful.
Avoid this place scammers by all cost. Stay at other places.

Sorry an older cabin is much better than almost having to go to hospital.

Room was tired and outdated, bed was horrible to sleep on. An open drain in the bathroom caused there to be an influx of cockroaches every night. When informing reception they said they would send a cleaner out. The solution was giving us a bottle of insect repellent. Seem to be renovating cabins, so hopefully these problems will be fixed. Also make sure to lock cabins and vehicles as saw people roaming around during the night to try and break in

In Need of a Facelift

These cabins are very well used and in need of complete renovation. The stains on the curtains at the door were the sort of introduction that indicated just what to expect inside. Cabinets are old and chipped, the wall under the aircon had a crack running down it, the bathroom basin and shower recess were very worn. In summary that are just old. There was a cut off and bare electrical wire protruding from behind the mirror. If this doesn’t matter to you then ok the price is cheap but also the TV was basically the size of a computer monitor and forget the Wifi. Yes it’s free for 24 hours but useless as the speed is ridiculously slow. To top this it’s on the main highway out of town so be prepared for some early morning truck noise.
One positive was how nice the check in ladies were. They were sympathetic to our complaints but could not offer us anything else suitable. They offered to give us our money back but we were stuck because no better place was available for our three nights. We did use the bbq on two nights and it was very good.
Be aware, you get what you pay for so maybe be prepared to pay a bit more and get something nice.

Disappointing

We’ve camped at this park previously with great success. I arrived to find we were being upgraded to a better style of cabin, and I was grateful, given the circumstances under which we’d arrived.
Using an excutive cabin was very disappointing. The beds were uncomfortable, in bad positions and made it hard to get to the bathroom.
The air conditioner was too small for the space, and struggled to cool the small space down. It coughed and made loud noises through the night.
The bathroom basin clogged when water run through it and needed unblocking.
The front screen door wouldn’t roll and could not be shut with a fight.
These are probably small things that can be fixed, but made our stay quite uncomfortable.

Terrible Service

They need to update their facility description as not thr entire place is pet friendly - even though they advertise on wotif as pet friendly. After booking and paying for a cabin on the premise that it was advertised as pet friendly on wotif, we rang the accommodation and was told that only the caravan park was pet friendly and not the cabins that we had booked. We were then told that our booking money was 'lost' since we wanted to cancel. I had trouble understanding the term 'lost' but the lady kept insisting our money was 'lost'. After about 3 minutes of pointless conversation, I figured out she meant to say the money was 'non-refundable'. Quite poor customer service both from the park and the lady at the front as they clearly advertise pet friendly but don't mention that it's only the caravan park that is pet friendly and not the cabins. Highly unlikely that we'll book here again and do not recommend it.

Our room stunk of cooked sausages when we arrived! A stiff wind was luckily blowing and after opening all windows and doors and leaving the cabin for a couple of hours it was sort of ok. It was the same size cabin as we had stayed in a few nights before but seemed much squeezier because of the layout. Tooo much hanging space unless you were staying for weeks. Could have been better used space with a small couch. Comfortable though.

I called the number provided by Expedia at time of booking and the manager answered and gave me the code to a safe by the office door to get my keys.
