A popular caravan park in Carnarvon on the WA’s mid north coast has just been bought by the G’day Group … and it seems more cabins could be in the cards, .
The Wintersun Caravan and Tourist Park currently boasts 173 tourist sites and 19 cabins, along with facilities including a resort-style swimming pool, recreation shed, grass bowling green, playground and a jumping pillow.
G’day Group Chief Investment Officer, Amanda Baldwin, said the property presented an ideal opportunity to expand the group’s Western Australian network along a popular coastal touring route.
“We see fantastic upside through leveraging our operational and marketing expertise, to attract more visitors and increase length of stay,” she said.

“We are also eager to capitalise on the park’s development potential to refresh facilities and install more cabins to attract a broader demographic of traveller.”
The 4.7-hectare freehold acquisition reportedly fills a key gap in the G’Day Group’s Discovery Parks portfolio, between Perth and Onslow.
“Carnarvon is a hugely popular destination for the caravan and camping community with more than half a million domestic visitor nights each year, around half of which are in holiday parks,” said Ms Baldwin. “Not only is the park the largest in the region, providing us with greatest market share, it also has an excellent reputation and has been well run and maintained under previous management.”
The property will be renamed Discovery Parks Carnarvon.
G’day Group says it will initially invest around $1 million in the property, including installing new lighting and signage throughout the park, new playground equipment and a shade sail over the swimming pool.
