Discovery Parks - Darwin

Discovery Parks - Darwin is a large tropical-grounds holiday park at Farrell Crescent in Winnellie, the closest holiday park to Darwin CBD, with dedicated pet-friendly sites and cabins on offer.

The pet policy. Dogs are welcome year-round except during July, when the park runs at capacity for the dry season peak, confirm current dates at booking. Pets are allowed on specifically designated pet-friendly powered and unpowered sites, and pet-friendly cabins may also be available; book the pet-friendly option directly and ask about any fee. Dogs must stay on a lead at all times within the park and cannot be left unattended at a site or in a cabin. Pets are kept out of food preparation areas, playgrounds and amenities blocks, and it's one dog per booking as standard, with a second needing management approval. Bring your own water bowl and bedding, and call the park ahead to lock in a pet site for your dates, phone number listed on the park's official booking page.

The place. Landscaped tropical grounds with a swimming pool, BBQ areas and a camp kitchen, plus a mix of powered/unpowered sites and cabins suited to both short stops and longer stays.

Location and nearby. 11 Farrell Crescent, Winnellie, close to Tiger Brennan Drive and an easy run into Darwin CBD. The DogsNT & DODC Showgrounds on Tate Place and Winnellie Dog Park are both nearby for a stretch of the legs, and several outdoor-friendly cafes sit in the surrounding Winnellie strip.

Who it suits. Caravanners and campers wanting a dog-friendly base close to Darwin without staying in the city centre, and cabin travellers happy to keep the dog leashed around the grounds rather than free-running.

Book pet sites early, especially outside July, and confirm the current pet fee and site allocation directly with the park before you arrive.
