Discovery Parks - Coolwaters, Yeppoon

Good no noise policy at night in this cara-park. Grounds have enough lighting at night to safely move around if necessary. I stayed in an onsite cabin which had individual parking under cover for one standard vehicle. Cabins vary in floor plan and appear to be purpose built, not the cookie cutter type in other parks. The cabin I booked had a good amount of room for a comfortable stay. Onsite coffee shop was available but did not use this facility. I was able to ride my bicycle around the park safely.

Couple of issues needed to be dealt with after checking in: 1. No water from taps in cabin. It was a problem that already had a plumber in attendance and was soon rectified. 2. Later in the evening I found there was no gas supply to unit so therefore no working cook-top or hot-water supply. Sent a message to the after-hours number and the staff who attended found the gas bottles had not switched over from the one that was empty to the full one. No further problems with these issues after fixed. It looks like this unit block has been there for many years and is a little tired and in my opinion the following things need attention: 1. The entry door only had a basic night latch as the one and only lock. A dead lock would be far more secure and a door safety chain could be installed. Uniquely the security door was on the indoor side of the entry door but it was pointless for safety as the lock on the screen door was inoperative. 2. The micro wave oven is mounted against the side wall on a shelf above the kitchenette bench but the door is hinged on the left hand side. This made it difficult to place the plate of food to be heated into the oven as the opened door obstructed access to the turn table. Partially solved by turning the oven on an angle toward operator.

The property is definitely more designed for family with kids which is fantastic.

No lamps in bedrooms, bathroom curtain had stains and cutlery was a little dirty. Oven would be ideal in kitchens. Bunk beds for adults.

The people in the camper van behind our cabin kept on smoking and it kept going into our cabin, I'm a server asthmatic which was setting me off constantly and they just didn't care, which put a damper on our stay. The children love the water park and pillow. Was wondering why there is no gate between the big slide and the toddler slides?

We stayed in the economy cabins and they were much bigger than we expected, great value for money! We also loved that the lake was extremely close and we even caught a fish!

I have nothing negative to say about this place

Loved everything. Great facilities for the whole family. Lovely staff, nice little cafe with yummy food.

The facility's were great ?

Couldn't stream anything on the TV and WiFi barely worked. Makes it hard to settle the kids at night.

Bathroom fine, bed good, kitchen equipment good, leather couch aging but comfortable.

Wifi poor, no clothesline, tiny clothes airing rack (needed bigger one because no clothesline), nowhere to hang wet tea towel (dish drying cloth).

The setup and layout was brilliant. Staff we very helpful

Thought 10 dollars per visitor was a bit unfair thought should have been 10 per family visitors of ours they had 3 kids plus them 2 they don’t come because of price. Would have 50 bucks and no food or drinks included. The city people are so gullabul all the time and just pay what they are told poor things.Other than that it was a great experience happy to stay there again. Just got to remember not to invite any guests too expensive for them. I do understand yous have costs but ripping people off is not good imagine we stay a week and want the visitors all week all adds up not good for vacation.

Was a great park plenty to do for kids and a boat ramp to the lake out back

The cafe hours could be open longer on weekends

It was very clean and comfortable

Lack of internet not working TV only one channel Abc news besides this everything else was fine

Overall, the park is really good, waterside, pool, jumping pillow etc

Cafe was closed. Last time we stayed during school holidays there was plenty of activities, kids disco, arts and crafts, community breakfast etc which is why we returned. This time there was none of those things which was a little disappointing.

I cooked my own breakfast in unit and the facilities were there.

It was very busy being a long weekend. But still had fun.

The pools and activities

Perhaps some more shelving in the bathroom

Pleasant

Great place for the kids However Kids beds were barley mattresses no aircon or fan in there room Missing curtains so no privacy/ sun comes through at 530

the cafe. the staff. the waterpark , the cabin was nice and clean.

the little bmx track could use some work. the tv in the room didnt get great reception.

Spacious for one person. The cabin was clean and tidy. All the staff were friendly and the property was clean and respectable.

The cabin next door had a change over with lots of kids and screaming. It wasn’t after the hours so no complaining but a solo traveller for leisure it was annoying.

Beautiful big 2 bedroom cabin. Large living and separate bedrooms is fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay

Clean spacious cabins, comfortable beds and plenty of cupboards to store belongings

The park is great, lots of activities for all the family. Staff very friendly, have stayed multiple times and no issues.

We stayed not too far from reception and the wifi and reception didn’t work in our rooms. So no wifi or tv for chill time after being outdoors. The big pool was like soup water consistency, so much hotter than the waterslide area, not ideal in December. Other than that couldn’t really complain about anything.

Our kids loved the water park and pool area. We also enjoyed the activities.

The cabin could have been cleaner
