Discovery Parks – Devonport, The Gateway to Tassie’s North West

Discovery Parks – Devonport is the kind of place where great holidays begin the moment you arrive. Known for its spotless facilities, welcoming atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff, the park offers a relaxed and comfortable base right on the edge of Bass Strait. Guests love the coastal setting, the easygoing vibe and the unique chance to watch the Spirit of Tasmania glide in and out of the harbour — a postcard moment you can enjoy from the front of the park.

Devonport is perfectly positioned for some of Tasmania’s best day trips, making the park a favourite for explorers. Cradle Mountain’s iconic alpine landscapes, the charming murals and heritage of Sheffield, and the sparkling waters of Lake Barrington are all within easy reach. Mole Creek Caves offers a completely different kind of adventure underground, while chocolate lovers can indulge at the famed Anvers Chocolate Factory in nearby Latrobe — a sweet highlight for families and foodies alike.

Throughout November and December, local life buzzes with energy. Travellers can browse fresh produce and handmade goods at the Devonport Farmers Market every second Saturday, cheer on competitors at the legendary Triple Top Mountain Run, or enjoy community concerts from the talented Devonport Brass Band as they celebrate their 150th anniversary. It’s a great time to soak up the region’s culture and festive spirit.

At the park, the lead-up to Christmas brings a lovely sense of excitement. Staff prepare for the busy season, families roll in with holiday energy, and warm summer days set the tone for relaxed coastal stays and shared moments.
