Save on your next down south getaway with these awesome accommodation deals

While Perth used to have a bit of a reputation for going into hibernation come the winter months, these days our holiday plans stretch year-round.

Winter down south means the crowds are a little more chill but the vibes are just as immaculate, whether it’s curling up by the fireplace at a world class winery, whale watching along the coastline, hiking through lush green southern forest or sneaking in some cheeky truffles in Manjimup.

If you’re eyeing off an upcoming winter getaway and looking to save a few precious dollars while you do it, WA’s largest family-owned caravan group, Summerstar Tourist Parks, have just launched a series of Winter Down South specials.

They’re relevant for their Busselton Lazy Days Caravan Park, Margaret River Tourist Park, Riverview Tourist Park and Walpole Rest Point Caravan Park from May 1-August 31, 2024, and you can check ‘em out below*:

4 nights for the price of 3
If you’re like most of us at Perth is OK! and don’t have a camping bone in your body, this first deal is looking like an absolute pearler: If you book roofed accommodation for four nights or more at any of the four down south parks between June 1-August 31, you’ll score one night for free. All four locations have some great little units, apartments or cottages to choose from, with some having multiple bedrooms – the more the merrier!

ABOUT THE PARKS

Busselton Lazy Days Caravan Park

Accommodation-wise, this quiet and cruisy caravan park is one of the regions oldest and will transport you back to the good old days. While it doesn’t have the bells and whistles that other parks do, it’s the perfect place to relax under the native Peppermint trees with a book in hand – and forget to keep your eyes peeled for an endangered possum or two. You’ll live like a Busselton local, just a hop, skip and jump from the pristine waters of Geographe Bay and a 10-minute drive from the town centre. As an added bonus this year they’ve supplied fire pits for caravan and camping guests, plus it’s pet-friendly if you’ve got your furry kids in tow!

Margaret River Tourist Park

Located just over one kilometre from the Margaret River town centre and surrounded by colourful flowers and plants, this well-established park boasts large powered sites and powered ensuite sites suitable for big rigs, as well as renovated modern cottages (complete with dishwashers and coffee machines), a nature playground, a jumping pillow, swimming pool, massive camp kitchen and games room. It’s the perfect holiday destination for families or couples looking for prime real estate to set up camp before exploring the best of the Margaret River Region’s wineries, breweries, caves, mazes, surf and coastline.

Riverview Tourist Park

Riverview Tourism Park is surrounded by lush forest, abundant birdlife and nestled
on the banks of the Warperup Creek. This park is known for its peace and quiet,
offering a tranquil setting for travellers keen to relax and disconnect from the hustle
and bustle of life. It’s a great base to explore the region’s world class restaurants,
cellar doors, distilleries, fresh produce and artisan delights. Located just over one
kilometre from the town centre, the caravan park is home to cabins with river views
(hence the name), along with a small selection of powered ensuites. The powered
sites are best suited for smaller rigs with a maximum length of eight metres.

Walpole Rest Point Caravan Park

If you’re a fishing enthusiast or boating buff, this caravan park sports a prime spot on the banks of the Walpole-Nornalup inlet, complete with a heritage-listed jetty and gazebo for all things recreation, a boat launch and canoe hire. Rest assured, you’re in good hands. With large grassed powered sites, an entertainment hall, jumping pillow and prime positioning next to the Walpole Country Club, and just a seven-minute drive into town, you won’t go wrong with a holiday here. If you’re into hiking, the park is situated close to the Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail, so hikers and mountain bikers looking for a bit of R&R will be well suited to the joint.
