Discovery Parks - Lake Kununurra

This could be beautiful site on the waters edge with plenty of wildlife but unfortunately the facilities let it down. We had a powered site for 1 night. Pitches are small and the facilities very dated. The laundry was shut and the other machines took over an hour. The area wasn’t clean. The toilets and tshowers are old. One toilet filled continuously and one shower leaked water all the time. Outside sinks were dirty.

There seemed to be many people who enjoyed their time at Lake Kununurra but unfortunately, we weren’t one of them. Firstly, we learnt that booking months before didn’t guarantee a great site. If you intend to stay a few days here, be very specific about the site you want. There are beautiful lake view sites here. Ask for them. Shady too. Our site had a toilet block as our neighbouring site and management were unable to move us when we complained before we set up. As a consequence of the constant noise from the toilet block including washing machines used all day, screaming kids in showers etc, we cut our visit short and stayed only four nights while leaving our van on site and booking accommodation at El Questro where most of the beautiful scenery is anyway. Management later reimbursed us most of our money which we were grateful for. I just wished they’d moved us in the first place. To be honest, this park was one of the only places where we had zero tv reception or adequate internet to stream so that in itself is a deal breaker for me. The Olympics were on and we had to drive into town to message our kids. We enjoyed the Ord River Cruise from this park but other than that, it was a disappointing place to stay.

We stayed for 3 nights in an economy waterfront cabin, it was just perfect! The views from our front door, outstanding and ever changing with the different times of the day! The cabin had all we required, kitchen, dining area and comfortable bed.

We stayed in a two bedroom garden view unit. It had a spa but it did not work very well other than that it was a great unit. The location is second to none. Lake Kununurra is absolutely gorgeous. The washing machines in the laundry are not great. Several were out of order most days. There were a few damaged items of clothing, they probably need a decent upgrade. The staff were always friendly, the pool area was lovely. we would definitely return and probably upgrade to Lakeview room.

Great location but the cabins are a little tired and in need of some TLC. Cleanliness was average as well. We not about 10 minutes out of town. WiFi was nearly non existent unless you walked outside to back of cabin. Bit overpriced for what you get.

We stayed in a standard cabin for 4 nights. The cabin was near the lake’s edge, which was great. Although we had campers & campervans directly behind the bedroom window, which meant you could hear conversations word for word. Staff were great & site is near the Kununurra lakeside trail. Cabin was very average though. Superficially clean, with grubby finger marks on doors & cupboards. Ceiling cobwebs, peeling paint, dirty lounge, tissues shoved in ceiling fan base. It just generally felt not very clean. Needs some TLC to freshen up & decent clean in between guests.
