Discovery Parks - Coogee Beach

We visited the Coogee Beach WA Discovery Park over Easter/Anzac Day this year. I understand that it’s Easter so should expect to pay a “premium” but the premium we paid did not reflect the quality that I would have expected of a Discovery Parks Cabin. As I had always believed Discovery Parks to be of much better condition, I have decided to share this feedback with you as I was not able to include photos in the feedback survey that I completed and if this sort of sub standard “quality” is not reported, how do you know? We paid $315 per night for a total of 5 nights ($1575). The staff I encountered, whilst “friendly” were not particularly helpful. They were merely “ticking the boxes” of being there. The location was great. The camp kitchen was very good. I suspect because the park permanent residents probably make sure the kitchen space is kept tidy and well looked after as they use it for their social club. We spent the 2nd half of our visit on a powered site so got to use the amenities and they were for the most part, OK. They were as I would expect them to be. The cabin we were placed in was dirty, there were cobwebs in the toilet, and dirt on the floor. There were broken things like the plastic holders for the blind chords and a tap in the kitchen with a piece broken off it. The cabin walls need a coat of paint and hole’s fixed, the bathroom was terrible.

The property was great, with everything you need, even your own laundry. It was quiet and a very short walk to best beach in WA, in my opinion. Sunsets are just amazing.

This terrific, affordable, little park, has a beachside location and a lovely, relaxed vibe. It has a mixture of unit accommodation for hire, and plenty of shady sites for vans and motor homes. The site allocated to our big motorhome, was spacious, and easy to access. There are many permanent residents, who over time, have developed and decorated their modest sites, with potplants and lush gardens, These permanent dwellings, enhance the ambience of a secure, friendly, country village. A gentle morning walk from your park location, along tidy paths and across one, minor, sand dune, and you are presented with a heart lifting vista, of white shore and sparkling, aqua water. Fantastic beach for children in the morning. The wind can get fiesty on the beach in the afternoon but the park itself is very sheltered. Ablution blocks at the park are a little outdated but scrupulously clean and the water was always hot whilst we were there. We hope the owners do not bow under pressure to sell this unique location to developers. It is a gem of a spot for travellers looking for a true beachside experience.
