The hotel is located next to a busy road and under a flight path, making it quite noisy. The facilities are decent, with clean and comfortable rooms, but be prepared for some cleaning issues. On the bright side, the grounds are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. However, the location is not ideal for those seeking peace and quiet.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The location was incredibly convenient with easy access to public transport and local amenities, making it easy to explore the city without the hassle of parking. However, the cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired, which impacted my overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, I found value in the comfortable beds and the overall layout of the cabin.
Rooms

The cabin had a double bed in the main area and bunk beds in a small bedroom, but it really needs some TLC. There were marks on the walls and a bit of mould in the shower, which was disappointing.

I was pleasantly surprised by our stay at the park, especially given how last-minute it was for New Year's Eve. The cabins were surprisingly spacious and clean, providing a good environment for our family. The pool area was enjoyable for both adults and kids, though the water temperature could use some attention. On the downside, the site was a bit noisy at night due to its proximity to the main road, and the maintenance of the pool could be improved for safety.

I had a wonderful stay at this holiday park while visiting family in Melbourne. The chalet was clean and quiet, and I appreciated the helpful and friendly staff. The swimming pool was a hit with the kids! However, we could have used more crockery and cutlery during our stay, which was a slight inconvenience.

I had a very good stay at Discovery Parks. The unit was clean and the location was convenient, just a short drive from the city. The facilities looked great, but we didn't get a chance to use them. However, the units did feel a bit dim and could use some updates in maintenance, which was slightly disappointing given how much we enjoyed our time there overall.

The unit was clean but felt a bit dated and needed some maintenance work, particularly with doors and cupboards. It had a wide verandah that overlooked the pool area, which was nice.
