RAC Margaret River Nature Park

Partnership now offers seven parks

SEVEN caravan parks now fall under the umbrella of Australian Tourist Park Management's partnership with WA motoring organisation RAC.

The news follows RAC's acquisition of eco-style Wharncliffe Mill Bush Retreat, which has been renamed RAC Margaret River Nature Park to promote its unique location in the heart of the Margaret River region.

ATPM, which is owned by the NRMA, owns and manages close to 40 parks around Australia.

ATPM/NRMA Parks and Resorts chief executive Paul Davies said the addition of the Margaret River property, in the heart of Western Australia’s best known food, wine and adventure region, fitted well with the company’s strategy to grow tourism in regional Australia.

"ATPM is dedicated to providing guests with exceptional holiday experiences through combining fantastic locations, great hospitality and excellent facilities," he said.

"This philosophy applies both for our client park owners and our own properties."

RAC executive general manager (Brand and Tourism) Tony Pickworth said the new acquisition would give RAC members and other guests a relaxing and authentic South West bushland experience.

"Located among the tall timber of the Wooditjup National Park (formerly Bramley), the park provides guests with a nature-based holiday, displaying the unique beauty of the Margaret River region," he said.

"RAC Margaret River Nature Park includes cabins, safari tents, dorm rooms and powered caravan and camp sites, giving guests a range of ways to tailor their experience."

The park joins other iconic WA locations in the RAC Parks and Resorts family, including Exmouth Cape Holiday Park, Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Cervantes Holiday Park, Busselton Holiday Park, Karri Valley Resort and the Ningaloo Reef Resort in Coral Bay.

"Whilst our parks and resorts welcome guests from all over the world, they are designed to encourage Western Australians to holiday in their own backyard and offer value for money experiences in WA's most popular tourism destinations," Mr Pickworth said.

NRMA and other motoring club members receive discounts on stays, with RAC members receiving up to 20 percent.

Guests will also soon be able to use RAC’s new 'lay-by' system to book their holiday and pay it off in instalments.
