About Discovery Parks - Forster

Families return year after year to the magnificent river and facilities of Discovery Parks - Forster. A hidden treasure of the region, the park is situated right on the tranquil shores of the Wallamba River.

Overlooking the river from your cabin balcony you will hear the trickle of water as the river life passes by. But there is more to do that just relax at this park and you can jump straight into an extraordinary selection of water activities.

The river offers fishing, kayaking and water skiing by day and then you can nestle back into your cabin and experience the amazing sky display at night.

With a variety of self-contained cabins to choose from you won't need to leave but if you do explore the park you'll be treated to a pool, bouncing pillow and pump track. Or take a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk walking trail.

I mixed up my travel dates and arrived the day before ai had booked my accommodation for.
Fortunately the lady behind the counter was very understanding and very helpful. She was able to change my reservation and got me in that night.
The cabin was very clean and modern.
It was the perfect spot to spend the night.

A family-friendly place with beautiful pool, splash zone, playground and jumping pad. The river view cabins really do have a full view of the river. The boardwalk is lovely but very short. At one end is a stagnant lagoon that smells awful, but at the other end it's a beautiful broad platform with tables and a fantastic view. Everything is clean - amenities, cabins, pathways. The pedal cars are very worn and well beyond the point of being adjustable. The seat popped off ours mid-ride but luckily no injury. Wifi is available but not strong enough to run any streaming on the tv so the staff recommend connecting your phone to wifi then hot-spotting the tv, but if you don't turn OFF mobile data first, the tv will run using your phone data - and if you do turn that off it won't work. This didn't bother me as I wasn't there to watch TV, but it's an expensive misunderstanding for anyone who tries it (and some people do want a bit of tv on their holiday). Check-out was scary - you leave the key in an unlocked box, so anyone could take it and let themselves into your cabin, take/damage things. To avoid risk, check out in office hours, or take your vehicle out then walk back to your cabin and lock the key in if they allow that? Check-in was meh - staff were chatting and ignored me for a few minutes then did basic check-in. When we returned for something else we had great service, with our child receiving activity sheets, etc that were not part of our inital check-in.

From the moment my son and I arrived, we knew it would be a wonderful few days here. So much so we booked an extra night and 4 nights this time next year. The owner's service when discussing the extra night and the stay booked for next year was first rate. It's definitely worth the visit for singles, couples and families, campers, caravans and those who love the villas like us.

This was our second stay and we were upgraded to a river view cabin.
We arrived very late but the lights were left on for us which was very welcoming. It was sooo beautiful to wake up to a view of the river with a hot chocolate from the kitchen.
We absolutely loved this experience and feel very lucky to of had the opportunity to stay here.
We can’t wait to comeback in November to stay again.

We are absolutely coming back here with the relos. This place is great, the view of the river is beautiful, a convenient little cafe on site and so much for the kiddos to do with the heated pool, splash pad, jumping pillow, trikes to hire and a arcade movie room coming. Bbqs with seating are so convenient and everything is clean and tidy everywhere you go. We slept sooo well, the sheets were a beautiful cotton so we didn’t over heat. All the staff were friendly and kind.
We HIGHLY recommend booking your stay here.
We just loved our stay here

When we arrived after hours for check in, a fellow traveller had mistakenly taken our room key from the out of hours pick up. When we notified the staff they organised a new cabin for us immediately.

Rooms were clean, kitchen utensils in great condition. The surrounds are beautiful and the amenities are kept clean. The pool and waterpark are clean, safe and family friendly.

Staff are friendly and helpful!

Great stay, I’d recommend it to anyone and stay here again.

Fantastic stay. Lovely clean, new and modern rooms. Lots of sensible design. Comfy beds and functional kitchenettes. We thought it could be noisy at night but it was lovely and quiet after 8.
Big props to the pool and splash playground which had lovely water temp. We have stayed at other similar parks further north where the water in the pool etc at Easter time was freezing and not enjoyable.
Only draw back was that we looked forward to the onsite dinner nights ie Friday/Saturday pizza nights. Unfortunately we waited an hour for 2 pizzas, despite ordering just after opening.
Other than that, everything was great.

Requires attention

My husband and I stayed at Discovery Parks en route to the Gold Coast with our small dog which is why we chose this accommodation as it was inexpensive and dog friendly. We arrived when it was dark to get our key from the safe outside reception (we were given clear instructions by sms about the key) but there was no sign indicating where reception was so finally we had to ring the after hours number to be guided in very dark conditions. We then found our cabin with the help of a map and it was lovely that they had put the heating on for our late arrival.
After settling in we tried to turn the TV on but the remote didn’t work so inspecting the TV we managed to get it on but only to discover how filthy and dusty it was behind. The TV is small and hangs out from the wall so it would not be hard to keep clean. Also the air con/heating and TV remotes could both do with a good wipe over.
After spilling a little water from the dog’s bowl I went to wipe it up off the floor and discovered it needed a good scrub not just a wipe over which I expect happens after every stay. Also the blind over door needed fixing. The bed was fine and we did get a good nights sleep. A nice place to take the dog for a walk.

It's sort of hard to rate because I stayed involuntarily during the floods in 2025 because I spent the previous night sleeping in my car and couldn't get the hundred kilos home to Port. I'm sure the surrounds are spectacular under normal circumstances but we were almost in the brown water of the river. The cabin was pretty cool though and I felt like it was a great decision and lucky I found them.

Loved this park, we visited in non school holidays and it was quiet amd relaxed, we can see that kids would love it and imagine the park gets packed during school holidays. Id stay here for sure again.the apartment was spacious and comfortable with gorgeous views of the river. The only improvemrnt point internet connection was poor and frequently unavailable.

The property and the staff were great
However, the cafe is expensive
Three people in front of us and we had to wait one hour to get our food
Could not get poached eggs because they could not cook them did not know how
And it was run by young people, which is not their fault. They are there to learn. Maybe they should put someone experienced on with them to cook.

Talk about value! I arrived late and had to leave early, but the cabin was great. Heaps of space and bedding, with a full kitchen etc. on my way out I stopped briefly to look at the beautiful views of the river.

Id really like to come back again when I'm not on a mission to get from North to South asap and spend a few days.

Everything was excellent but unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the whole facility over the time we were there as the weather turned nasty and we lost power for the whole night and it was still off when we left at 8-30am so kitchen and bathroom facilities couldn’t be used .

We just had a lovely stay for two nights! Kids loved the splash park and pool. Scenery and lake were lovely. Cabins very smart, climate controlled and clean. Had towels, toiletries, kitchen utensils etc. beds comfy enough. Overall a great stay that kids loved and was safe. My eldest is high needs and he loved it.

We wanted somewhere close to the highway but not the usual “roadside” hotel.
Thought we’d try something new and I’m glad we did. The unit smelled so fresh and clean, super spacious with plenty of spare pillows, blankets & towels.

Amazing cabins and fantastic facilities. A long weekend with a 2year old and 4 year old. The water park was a huge highlight and the best I’ve seen at a holiday park. The pool was great so all swimmers and such a great having the pool lights on at night. The sunset by the lake is stunning, great family photos were captured here.

A short drive to Forster and even shorter drive to the amazing Artisan Farmer!

We had the best time!

Stayed in the Standard 2 bedroom cabin which suited the 3 of us just fine. Nice newly built cabins with A/C, creature comforts and walking distance to the water park, pool and lake.
Only complaints if I had to find them, was the screen door didnt have a locator for the door latch and bathroom door latch didn't line up so it couldn't be locked.
Highly recommended and will be back 👍

It was my first time at Foster and my first time at this accommodation. The accommodation facilities were clean, but the internet didn't work well. The gas wasn't on so I couldn't use it, but I couldn't ask because the reception was closed.(9-5)

Location was just so serene. If you want a relaxing holiday this was the place to be. Only one thing we were in a 2 story place which was quiet until the top unit was rented out and the noise was pretty bad from the kids running wild upstairs. Would prefer a single cabin next time . Views were perfect pool was great . .

Wouldn't return

The booking stated free wifi however from our unit we could even detect the wifi let alone join it. As I had work to complete this meant driving into town each day which defeated the purpose of staying there. When I queried this with reception they agreed the wifi was terrible and that it may work at night (it didn't). As we were situated directly next to the cafe and their signal was strong I asked if we could join their network however this was declined. The unit we were staying in was also very noisy. We could hear the people upstairs come and go, We could hear their showers and even their conversation. No ideal.

Poor customer service. I called 4-5times to ensure we have a good selective of cabin as more cabins got available on wotif to book... but no clear answer. Just said what we have booked is the best. But NO!!! When we went there our cabin was in front of the yucky scary lagoon. On wotif there were other cabins available on wotif at the time I called... I wish the customer service offered clear understanding and helped make a change to our booking.

Previously we stayed at Discovery Parks in Dubbo which was a super fabulous experience hence this time we didn't even look out any other place for accommodation knowing Discovery Parks is here in Forster.

Also... the Cabin wise... the dishwasher didn't have buttons to operate properly... had to use a pen tip to push the button!! Like seriously???? This is what we get for spending more than $800 for just two nights!!!???? What a bigget rip off. Will need to think back before we ever choose to stay here again.

No bin liners were in the bin. Had to go ask for them with the linen/cleaning staff.

Only 2 towels... for 4 people... for 2 night stay!!

Lovely location. Amazing that it is dog friendly, our dog had the best time. Unit was a bit dated but exceptionally clean and very comfortable. We were unaware however that our cabin was not stand alone and the neighbours we had were extremely noisy. You are able to hear the neighbours talking clearly within the unit. If that was not the case it would have been beautiful and tranquil here. We would come again but book a different cabin hopefully!

Fabulous

Fantastic place to stay. So many great facilities, from the swimming pool and water park to the playground & scooter track. There are go-carts, kayaks etc to rent out, and free board games & DVDs to borrow if the weather isn’t good. Great little beach area at the side of the river too.
The cafe on site is good, and there’s a big indoor camp kitchen as well as plenty of bbqs. If that’s not enough, there are plenty of organised activities during the school holidays, and you’re only a 10min drive to Nabiac or Hallidays Point.
All the staff are lovely.
We will definitely be going back!
