Discovery Parks - Mornington Hobart

Discovery Parks - Mornington Hobart is a practical, budget minded holiday park at 346 Cambridge Road, about 10 to 15 minutes from the Hobart CBD on the Tasman Highway corridor. If you are travelling with a dog, though, the headline is a negative one, and it is better you read it here than at the gate.

Dogs at Discovery Parks Mornington Hobart

The operator's own listing for this park currently carries a No Dogs Allowed restriction. Unlike some Discovery Parks properties that take dogs in selected cabins and on sites, this one does not, with the usual exception for certified assistance dogs. Some directories and older reports describe dog friendly cabins here; treat that as outdated until the park tells you otherwise in writing. Ring ahead before booking anything, and if a dog friendly caravan park base matters to your Hobart trip, look elsewhere rather than testing the rule.

Worth knowing

For a dog-free stay the park does its job: cabins and powered sites, close to the airport, easy access into the city, and rates that undercut inner Hobart accommodation. Guest feedback commonly notes the convenience and the trade off of traffic noise from the highway corridor. It is a high turnover park built around access, not a quiet bush retreat.

Getting there and parking

The park sits just off the A3 at Mornington, with straightforward drives into the CBD and Hobart Airport nearby. Parking is allocated per cabin or site; flag anything substantial such as a large motorhome or boat at booking, because space can be tight.

Max: We stayed here before the dog rule sank in properly. Fine park, good location, but we left him at a mate's place. If the dog is coming, book somewhere that actually says yes.

Close by with the dogs

If you are based elsewhere in Hobart with your dog, the Cambridge Dog Park and the South Street Reserve Fenced Dog Park in Bellerive cover the exercise runs on the eastern shore, and Cult Logic Coffee handles the city coffee stop.
