Question 1

Do you allow pets?

Accepted Answer

Kununurra is a very pet-friendly town with five of the six caravan parks allowing pets all year round. Kimberleyland is the only Caravan Park to offer the pet-free alternative. Discovery Lake Kununurra (https://www.discoveryholidayparks.com.au/caravan-parks/western-australia/east-kimberley-lake-kununurra)allows pets and participates in the same G'Day Rewards program (https://topparks.com.au/what-s-new/top-articles/g%E2%80%99day-rewards-mates-rates-for-top-parks-members)as Kimberleyland.

Question 2

Is Kununurra a safe place? Is Kimberleyland a secure caravan park?

Accepted Answer

t pains us that this is such a common question - we'll be straight with you.

Kununurra had, in 2021, 2022 and 2023, experienced a spate of car thefts. Facts matter and in 2024 YTD data the town has seen car thefts more than half. Want a fact check? Hop onto the Police Crime Statistics (https://www.police.wa.gov.au/Crime/CrimeStatistics#/)page to have a look yourself.

Fortunately, cars and caravans that are secured are not stolen - there has not been forced break-ins or armed robberies. Thefts that have occured around town are the result of opportunism. No matter where you stay in Kununurra or anywhere, it is recommended that you lock up in the same way that you lock up when you are at home. Lock your car and caravan, keep your keys hidden and secure - do not leave valuables outside and/or unsecured. This includes alcohol in car fridges and eskies.

At Kimberleyland, our park is secured by full fences and boom gates on entry and exit. We have CCTV installed around the park and motion sensor alarms.

The message we have for visitors is that we don't experience violence or forced break-ins, only opportunistic crime - you may be on holidays but thieves are not.

Question 3

Do you have WIFI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a free WIFI across the whole caravan park. We were fortunate enough to receive a Federal Government Caravan Parks Grant in 2023/24 to upgrade our WIFI facitilies - the feedback has included comments such as "The Best of all the parks so far".

Question 4

Can you book tours for us?

Accepted Answer

We certainly can. Come and see the friendly reception staff to let you know what tours are available and also make your bookings for you. This is a free service and almost all tours will pick you up from Kimberleyland.

Question 5

Do you offer Caravan Storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kimberley land offers Caravan Storage which is popular with guests travelling to the Bungle Bungles, Gibb River Road and Mitchell Plateau.

If you're sitting on the fence about taking your Caravan or not, consider hiring a Kununurra Kamper (https://www.kununurrakamperhire.com.au/)- an all inclusive hire solution - All you need to do is turn up, hitch up and off you go.

Question 6

Is there a shuttle service?

Accepted Answer

Yes we can, we offer a FREE airport pick up and drop off service - just ask our crew.

There are some taxi and charter services available in Kununurra which we can help to book for you. The town centre is a 15 minute walk along the edge of Lake Kununurra.

Reception stocks essentials such as ice, bread, milk etc. There is also the Kimberley Grande Sports Bar a few hundred metres away.

We also recommend the lovely Kirsten who operates Kununurra Connect. She can be contacted on 0484086398 (tel:0484086398)- she offers an on demand service but does prefer pre-bookings where possible.

There's also the highly recommended Jenny from QuickCollect Private Taxi who can be contacted on 0438682283.(tel:0438682283)

The generic number for taxis is 131008 but we do highly recommend Jenny and Kirsten.

Question 7

Do you refill Gas bottles?

Accepted Answer

We sure do, just bring your empty bottles to reception and we will get them filled for you. Please make sure the bottles are in good condition and still in date (up to 10 years from the manufacture date on the collar).

Question 8

Do you have room for big rigs?

Accepted Answer

Yes we do! Spots are limited though so it is essential that big rigs and fifth wheelers make prior bookings by calling 0891681280, especially from May to August.

Question 9

Can you swim in Lake Kununurra and Lake Argyle?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. The best way to access the river is from 'Swim Beach' or like the locals do - from a boat.
The most magnificent swims are from the Lake Argyle Sunset Cruises.

Question 10

Are there crocodiles in Kununurra?

Accepted Answer

Yes there are Freshwater (Crocodylus johnsoni) in Lake Argyle and Lake Kununurra. These crocodiles are considered safe to swim with and only bite in self-defence.

There are Saltwater Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) in the Lower Ord River below the gates of the Diversion Dam including Ivanhoe Crossing. These crocodiles are not safe to with swim.

At Kimberleyland we have a resident Freshwater Crocodile called "Gummy" due to his lack of teeth from old age. Gummy normally surfaces around sunset.

Question 11

Are there any quarantine restrictions?

Accepted Answer

If you are travelling from the Northern Territory there are quarantine restrictions on fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as honey and other items.

Please refer to the AQIS website for more details by clicking here.(https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/exporting-animals/quarantine-frequently-asked-questions)

There are NO restrictions travelling from Western Australia into the Northern Territory.

Question 12

Are there any alcohol restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes there are - however - in April 2021 the State Government granted an exemption for bulk alcohol purchases for tourists visiting remote parts of the Kimberley. There's a couple of things to be aware of. Firstly, how to exempt yourself and secondly, the tighter bottle shop hours.

Tourists will be required to provide their residential address, address where the liquor is being taken, and their vehicle registration number on purchase.

Bottle shops in Kununurra are open from 12pm to 8pm, Monday to Saturday (although they actually shut at 6pm), and require a drivers licence or other ID to be presented. ID is scanned into the Takeaway Alochol Management System (TAMS) and all records are wiped daily. It's to stop double-purchasing from both bottle shops. These restrictions can change so for the most up to date info go to the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor's official restrictions.(https://www.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/racing-gaming-and-liquor/liquor/liquor-restrictions/liquor-restrictions-section-64#Kununurra) If you want to do a bulk pre-order or have any questions for the Kununurra-locally owned bottle shop (the Liquor Barren drive-thru) just give Darren an email on gullivers@westnet.com.au.(mailto:gullivers@westnet.com.au)

The other alternative is driving out to the Hoochery Distillery (https://www.hoochery.com.au/)who are about 15km out of town. From what we understand, each person can purchase 3 bottles of sprits from their boutique distillery. There's rum, white rum, gins, whiskey, liquers etc. You will be required to participate in the TAMS process and will not be able to purchase more alcohol from the other bottle shops on the same day. The Hoochery have recently launched their new pre-mix cans of Mojito, Seltzer and gin tonics which are available to buy there, they were only released in September 2024 so we're not sure what the volume limits are. Best just pop out and see for yourself.

Question 13

Is there a BIG4 in Kununurra?

Accepted Answer

Not anymore, no although there used to be two BIG4 parks. Instead there are two G'Day Parks in Kununurra.

One is a Discovery Parks - Lake Kununurra (formerly known as Kona Caravan Park). Discovery Lake Kununurra are one of the G'Day Parks corporate owned caravan parks.  Kimberleyland is also a G'Day Parks Member, although independently owned by a local pioneering Kununurra family.

The important thing for you to know is that both of these parks honour the G'Day Rewards Loyalty Card offering 10% per stay, with a cap. (Discovery Lake Kununurra accept Pets, while Kimberleyland do not)

Question 14

Are Big4 and Discovery Parks the same?

Accepted Answer

No, they are not.

Question 15

Are there any Top Tourist Parks in Kununurra?

Accepted Answer

Top Tourist Parks became known as Top Parks. Top Parks then merged with G'Day Parks. Our park, Kimberleyland, was part of the Top Tourist Park/Top Parks network and is now part of the G'Day Rewards Group (however we remain independently owned).

Question 16

Can we get mail sent to us via Kimberleyland?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can. You can send it to; c/o Guest Name PO Box 261 Kununurra WA 6743. We do have a rather slow mail service and only recommend express post - which can still take over a week to arrive.
