The 16 best parks and gardens in Kununurra

The Mirima National Park walking track offers a fantastic way to explore the park's stunning landscapes and unique rock formations. The trails wind through lush vegetation and provide breathtaking views of the surrounding areas, including the impressive Mirima Range. Along the way, informative signs highlight the local flora and fauna, as well as the cultural significance of the site. The well-maintained paths cater to various fitness levels, making it accessible for all nature lovers. Perfect for a day of adventure and relaxation!

Easy, well-signed trails located in National Park just outside Kununurra. Great views and walks among the rocks, ridges and native flora. Variety of distance trails all can be completed relatively easily and quickly.

Went at sunset on a Monday evening, walked the short hike to the top of the rocks to see the sunset over the town. It was absolutely lovely and relatively easy. It is $17 per day to enter the park and there is a toilet facility and BBQ area at the bottom of the hike. Lovely cool breeze too. Would recommend having a small picnic on the top too.

Such a lovely place 3 minutes from town. Well kept tracks, nice scenery, peaceful and not too strenuous. It's not the bungles but it's pretty good.

I walked here from the Hidden Valley Kununurra Caravan Park. I went at 6 a.m. to enjoy the morning warmth. I did the big trail, and it took me about 1h30 from the parking lot, including breaks to take photos. I left the campground at 5:45 a.m. and came back at 7:50 a.m.

Absolutely fabulous hikes did all 3 ,two yesterday morning and went back to do the bigger one early this morning as it gets hot take plenty of water.

Awesome spot! Really well done and a great little walk. Definitely worth it.

Great views from both car park lookout and from the summit of knob (short but hard work hike). The view from the top of the hike/knob is worth the effort but is a narrow/steep rocky path at times. Tricky to find start of trail which isn't well signed through an old pedestrian side gate obscured by trees adjacent to a locked access road gate.

Great views from the very top. Bit of a climb but not too bad. Don't wait too long after the sunsets as it would be difficult coming down in the dark.

this hill top lookout offer you 360° incredible views over Kununurra township and its surroundings ~ Mirima national park, Ord river, Lily creek lagoon, Elephant rock and Airport etc, especially at sunrise /sunset time. the lower lookout next to car park is also a great spot for sunset if you want to avoid 1.2km steep return hiking. I've visted this site twice during my 3 nights stay in Kununurra, first time by driving and second time by walking from town centre.

Great spot to view the layout of Kununurra. Looks out over the township and out over Agricultural area through to Ranges.

Absolutely do come up here if you’re in Kunnanura. The views are simply stunning. It’s a little bit of a hike to get up but achievable by most. Even if you somewhat lacking in fitness give it a go, take it slow, it’s worth it. From the top you get 360 views out over kunnanura and the Ord river, the landscape is that stunning stereotypical Kimberley landscape. Beautiful!!

What a walk to the top. Totally worth the killer legs the next day for sunset

I thought it would be a great idea for the township to have a lookout that is accessible to all, but alas this is a 1.2km arduous walk and in 39 degrees that’s a no from me.

I'll admit that I am not a liquor aficionado, so for me this visit was more about checking out the Hoochery atmosphere and snacks. Friends tried the tastings and the distillery tour and said they enjoyed both. Located in a repurposed large corrogated shed with choice of inside or outside seating. Plenty of off street parking. Gift shop with souvenirs and plenty of bottled options.

Went for lunch had brisket tacos delicious Crispy chicken bao buns beautiful. Washed down with Mexican style corn beer crisp and tasty and a pink gin and soda very refreshing. Great rustic bar and large beer garden which is dog friendly. Highly recommend for lunch and a refreshing drink.

Nice distillery, we did the tour and highly recommend. Daily at 2pm. Gin tasting is nice. Must try the tray of fries and most importantly chocolate rum cake - it is still made by the original owner despite her age. It's delicious! 💕

Great atmosphere. Do the tour for $20 pay at counter tells you everything about the the process of making the alcohols. Food was good. The rum cake you need to try and the rest of the cakes were good too

I liked one of the gins, but had no information provided by the person behind the counter. If you put someone behind the counter for tasting, make sure they know the product they are providing tasting plates for. Found some.information inside the menu folder. Perhaps it might be beneficial to hand a laminated tasting sheet with each paddle- might result in more sales.

I went to this venue on a weekday with a local who was friendly with one of the staff. Lovely food - we purchased Tacos, Bao Buns and Sidewinders and we shared a Gin paddle. Good portion size. About $85 for the lot. Nicely presented, very welcoming and efficient team. Clean toilets (super important) complete with instructions about closing the lid to stop the frogs going for a swim. Easy parking. It was a hot and muggy day; the seating area near the bar was quite nice - not too hot and tables well spaced. I was in my first 24 hours in the Kimberley and not acclimatised to the weather at all. Other areas of the venue felt much warmer, so it caters for people who like heat and those who don't. Small gift shop selling alcohol and themed merch.

Amazing food, gin and vibe! Definitely try the beef brisket tacos and popcorn cauliflower

We had a one bedroom cabin. The cabin had a horrible stench to it. We just couldn't eliminate the smell of it during our two day stay. The bed was comfortable. The bunk beds situated in the middle of the cabin makes the area squishy. The location is great, a little out from the main town of Kununurra. The lake is stunning, and you can go for a flick. We will come back :)

The staff at this park were amazing. The location fantastic and we love it. Janine at the front desk was so helpful and her customer service skills amazing. By far she has been the most helpful and best staff member we have come across from all discovery parks. She deserves a pay rise and acknowledgement. Well done Janine excellent work and thank you for making our check in and stay so welcoming.

Outstanding park. Just far enough off the busy highway; just far enough from the centre of town. The park setting is perfect for a sundown drink looking over the river. Faultless service, friendly staff and a great experience.

Beautiful park with massive tree canopies that provide welcome shade, and sitting by the lake when the afternoon breeze kicks in. The park and amenities are very clean. The Discovery staff are a happy bunch and exceptionally helpful. Simply awesome, thank you all.

Beautiful park on the lake. Amazing sunsets & super clean amenities. Everything at your fingertips. Shops, parks, attractions,& Ivanhoe crossing are all close by. Quiet, serene & just a lovely place to be.

Way over priced ($94/night) for the quality of the park. The site we were put near had 3 you people staying in an old horse float truck with 3 saffies and 3 cats. All around their site was dog poo. Been there that long some of it was chalk that's how much the staff took notice. (Dog poo doesn't turn to chalk overnight ).The next day they left while we were out told staff and handyman said I can't pick that that up I'll just hose it in. Hosed for 1 minute and left. This park isn't worth half the amount of money. Nothing like the photos we saw when we booked.

Stayed on powered site. Site was large, amenities modern and clean. Park a bit dusty with all internal roads being dirt and most sites the same. But, hey, that's northern Australia in the Dry

Lovely park with lots of huge shady trees. Plaques beneath each tree explain what species it is and when it was planted & to commemorate which event. The park looks over the lake and presents some nice photo opportunities.

Lovely park for a short walk, great place for sunsets.

Quiet, peaceful walk early in the morning.

Lovely kept area, place to relax in the shade

Pretty park on the lake with lots of shady trees, grass, picnic tables and a great kids playground. There’s also new exercise equipment and paths, great place to chill out and walk around reading all the celebrity plaques and info on the tree species.

Amazing place setup for the Ord Valley muster

Great walk path and fantastic views 😍

Lovely clean cabins and park,unfortunately we could only use 1 gas burner to cook with as others would not work properly, hot water was a bit slow to come through but eventually worked. Laundry amenities has no dryer but luckily we had a hot day and clothes dried on the lines that were available. Would definitely come back here again.

We recently had an unexpected need to stay in Kununurra for almost 2 weeks. Although there was availability at any of the parks in town, Ivanhoe Village was the one we picked. Quiet, clean, tidy, green lawns and good value, it's directly across the road from the Kununurra Showgrounds and is a short 10 minute walk into town if you're so inclined. Nat & Shane were wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The State of Origin telecast onto the inflatable big screen was a win too. We'd definitely recommend Ivanhoe Village and, if we were travelling through Kununurra again, would happily stay.

We booked a powered site for 3 nights. Very friendly staff. Lovely shady quiet park. The pool and surrounds was perfect. Good laundry and line facilities. Would definitely stay there again should be return to Kununurra.

Stayed for two nights and had a great experience. We had an ensuite site that was clean and fully functional. The groundsman was extremely helpful and had a fantastic sense of humour, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Watched the State of Origin in a makeshift outdoor theatre—such a fun and unique touch! Would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

Very good place to stay. Felt safe. Friendly and efficient staff. Nice pool for a refreshing dip. Camp Kitchen is small but good. I stayed in an En-Suite site which was nice. Maybe some stepping stones between the slab and en-suite door would be a good idea.

We have spent an extended time here and have found this a beautiful caravan park with large areas for caravan and car. The staff are really friendly and helpful. The grounds are lush and green and well maintained. The ablutions are clean but could be updated at some time. Overall a restful stay.

2 separate overnight stays on a return trip to Darwin to deliver a boat, staff went out of their way to fit boat and vehicle into a safe spot without disconnecting which was sincerely appreciated. Beautiful well maintained park with friendly and efficient staff - highly recommended

This Caravan Park has a great location right in Kununurra. The service has been exceptional. We received confirmation emails prior ro arrival and were welcomed upon arrival. More importantly, we requested dog sitting services and Nancy the manager went out of her way to introduce herself when we arrived so that the dogs would be more comfortable the next day. It was evident that the dogs were well looked after, when we collected them at the end of the day. I would recomend this intimate park as a place to stay and will visit again.

Located only 5mins walk to shops and pub. Amenities were good and clean. Nice and quiet with lots of shady trees and a concrete slab. Our favourite thing about this park is the doggy play pen, located on the edge of the park near the entrance, we were able to let the dogs off in the playpen to do their business on the ample grass and trees. Bags were provided and bins to dispose were just outside the pen.

Had a fabulous stay. Staff were lovely. Easy check in. Nancy looked after our Rottweiler so we could visit national parks. She was so lovely and clearly loved dogs. Clean park close to coles. Thanx for having us.

We stayed here for 3 nights, limited large van sites , however they were great, pool was lovely and amenities clean, little park walking distance to town, perfect stopover to explore. We felt very safe in this Park. Nancy and Greg are awesome managers 10/10 form out group of 5 vans.

Nice safe & clean place to stay. Very close to town and can walk to supermarket/shops etc. Ladies in the office are wonderful and very very friendly. Lovely Nancy in the office looked after our dog while we did a local experience.

A beautiful park closed to everything walking distance. Extra clean shower and toilet, best I ever seen. The manager are so friendly and helpful. We recommend people to come to this park. A beautiful country feeling. Inside park is very secure. If you need anything just go to the office and they will help.

A Lovely tidy park , lots of shade. The Amenities were nice and clean and it is a good location for accessing the shopping area. Managers were very friendly, and we were impressed by the gated security. The pool was sparkling and inviting. We will definitely stay again.

easily accessible, not flowing when we saw it in May, underwhelming if you have visited any of the gorges on the Gibb

Lovely spot, I am sure it would be a lot more impressive in the wet season, going over the ivanhoe falls to get there was great. It's worth the trip.

There was still some water in the pool when we visited in late July. You might visit because of the many butterflies (at this time of the year?)

If you have spare time while your around Kunnanura black rock falls is definitely worth a look. You can do a nice little scenic circuit from Kunnanura to the falls and back to Kunnanura via the Ivanhoe crossing on the Ord river( know conditions on the causeway first, the water can get deep)

Couldn’t get there Because this is how the path looks for half an hour, like…?? I don’t have a 4WD and no one mention this in any website, comment or magazine (yes I check everything before I go somewhere)

Easy drive after Ivanhoe crossing. Only walked about 10 minutes from the carpark to see the falls. Covered shelter & gas barbecue at the carpark

Lovely place, looked a little dry though. Would have been nice to get a swim in if there was more water.

Middle Springs, located just outside the charming town of Kununurra in Western Australia, is a true hidden gem that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, adventure, and relaxation. This picturesque spot is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, providing a refreshing escape from the heat and a chance to immerse yourself in the stunning Kimberley landscape. The springs are part of the Ord River system and feature a series of crystal-clear pools connected by small cascades and gentle waterfalls. The water is cool and inviting, making it an ideal spot for swimming, especially during the hot dry season. The natural rock formations surrounding the pools create a beautiful and serene environment, perfect for unwinding and soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. One of the highlights of Middle Springs is its accessibility. The site is relatively easy to reach, with a short drive from Kununurra followed by a manageable walk to the springs. The trail is well-marked and offers scenic views of the surrounding bushland, adding to the overall experience. Once you arrive, you’ll find plenty of spots to relax, whether it’s on the smooth rocks by the water’s edge or in the shade of the surrounding trees. For the more adventurous, Middle Springs offers opportunities for exploration. You can follow the water upstream to discover smaller pools and cascades, each with its own unique charm. The area is also great for photography, with the clear water, vibrant greenery, and dramatic rock formations providing endless opportunities for stunning shots. One thing to keep in mind is that Middle Springs is a natural and relatively undeveloped site, so there are no facilities like toilets or picnic tables. Visitors should come prepared with plenty of water, snacks, and any other essentials. It’s also important to practice Leave No Trace principles to help preserve the beauty of this special place for future visitors.

You will need a 4WD to get close to this Spring. There are 2 Creek crossings if you follow the sigh from the main road. It had a bit of debris on the surface however I went in for a dip. Apparently there are fresh pools if you want to walk up on top. We chose not to go up.

The road in is a bit corrugated 2 water crossing to reach Middle Springs At this time of the year (Mid Aug) the waterfall is dry Can imagine how beautiful it would be in wet season !

We went here in July and the waterfall was not running. The pool of water was stagnant and about 30cm deep. Unless you are around during the wet or just after it, I wouldn't bother. There are better places to go such as Molly Spring

Great waterfall but we were lucky with recent heavy rainfall. Nice deep cool refreshing swim

Sandy track not recommended for sedans. Our Ford transit only just made it through. Beautiful day area and a few small areas to free camp along the road for small set ups. Not recommended for normal caravans. 4x4 and offroad campers only. Well worth a look! We paddled in the water and it was beautiful and cool. (July 2018)

Beautiful little relaxing swimming hole 🫶🏽

If you want to get away for a stress free holiday, this is the place to be. Great service, great location and what a fantastic swimming pool

Must visit. Great Location, Beautiful views all around.

Great opportunity to see authentic art. Just wished there were more smaller, portable, affordable offerings to pack in suitcase!

There was lot of paintings for sale. All kinds small and big. Wished to find some boomerangs or dijiridoows… unfortunately there was not to find such kind of things.

Chris our guide was extremely knowledgeable as he guided us through the national park, discussing plants and their usage. We had a taste of some native foods and learnt the medicinal uses. The Waringarri Aboriginal Arts centre is growing and new mediums are being discovered, textiles, pottery as well as the traditional paintings. We ended with Chris singing to us and his nephew playing the didgeridoo. We sampled damper and honey. We met the local bower bird who nests nearby. Sitting under the trees listening was magical. Reflecting back on our time with Chris who is very passionate about the centre and its history, I hope more people experience this amazing tour!

This is an Aboriginal owned and operated gallery and art centre. 55% of each sale goes to the local artist. Much of the local art is still done in ochre. Great place.

Beautiful gifts and clothing available along with artwork. Definitely worth a visit.

By far the best way to experience a Kimberley sunset is listening to the sound of the Didg and Ted share some stories from times gone by. Highly recommend!! Thank you Ted, Pete & Lisle for a fantastic afternoon!

Lovely gallery, better than some of the more commercial galleries around.

A nice walk/cycle from the golf course. Lots of birds to see and listen to, particularly the Corellas. A small play park for young children and some people swim here.

Lovely tranquil shaded grassed area for playing in the lake, putting a boat in, catching up with dog friends. Few lovely afternoons here sitting in shaded areas provided. Watching all sorts of birds and kids and dogs frolicking

Nice park to sit and chill out, there's a playground for kids and a toilet too probably the easiest place to access the river for a swim.

Oh yes, this place was super relaxing, could easily put down a Rug n go to sleeps or have a little picnic. Loved the Serenity here

We are 2 labradors travelling around Australia. Lilly and Skye. My mum and dad took us to the beach. The beach is our favourite place. We can be free to do zoomies. Yay! Love it

Lovely quiet and peaceful place. There are picnic facilities here as well as public toilets. Beautiful Boab trees to be seen as well.

Good day use area and can cool off in the water.

A sort-after location for caravan travellers. No pre-bookings are taken, so be at the gate for check-in at 10 am to avoid disappointment. $45 per night, basic amenities, but clean.

This is an amazing place to camp. We are leaving tomorrow, however we have enjoyed every minute of this week at the showgrounds. The caretaker never stops working. She is friendly and efficient, her team do everything to help improve your stay. The showers are the best I've had at any caravan park. Thank you.

Great spot to stop in under the magnificent shade trees. Camp host was fantastic and helpful. Turned up at the right time to watch AFLW and AFL (under lights) matches . Nothing like local footy.

Great spot .40 a night .power water toilets showers.safe and secure. Right beside the oval .dog friendly .camp host was great .sites good amd some bigger 1s for larger rigs We had 22 ft van with cruiser

Old lady there with a wipper snipper early in morning to late afternoon. Lady would stop you wanting to know everything about you. Had her grandson in the bucket of a tractor driving around annoying people. $40 a night for filthy toilets/showers. Asked for more paper towel after using the last piece on day 1. Still not replaced on day 4. Codes to get into amenities but door always ajar. So no point having codes. Town was an eye opener but ok. Would not stay here again.

Fantastic place! Caretakers are the best. Clean spaces with great views

Nice place to stop. 40 dollars a night with power and drinking water. Good clean amenities. Dog friendly - they're even allowed to play on the oval as long as you pick up after them. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great lagoon and view from park Crocs in there unfortunately

Breathtaking sunsets!
