Cape Hillsborough is one of the Mackay region’s most popular destinations with its kangaroo and wallaby experiences, bushwalks and stunning views on the bucket lists of many.
Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park provides a central point for backpackers, travellers and families to stay while visiting the National Park and the popular nature-based visitor holiday park may get a facelift soon after being acquired by NRMA Parks and Resorts.
Cape Hillsborough Nature Tourist Park will retain its current branding for now with future plans for significant refurbishments to the park facilities including new accommodation options and destination experiences, such as guided tours and Indigenous experiences at hand as part of a broad reaching three-year masterplan.
Animal lovers can rest assured that the Sunrise with the Wallabies encounter, taking place each morning on the beach in front of the park, will remain.
NRMA Parks and Resorts Chief Executive Officer Paul Davies said the easy connection with wildlife in its natural environment set the park aside as a nature-based experiential property.
“As the NRMA Parks portfolio continues to expand, we’re conscious of growing in a considered way and offer our guests the chance to interact in a memorable and sustainable way with Australia’s own incredible wildlife and Aboriginal cultural histories and stories,” Mr Davies said.
“There are so many unforgettable experiences we’d like to offer our guests, and the Sunrise with the Wallabies experience is a perfect example.
“As the sun takes its first glimpse over the horizon, our guests join the kangaroos and wallabies on the beach as the friendly Tour Guides share stories about the unique environmental aspects of the location and the region.”
The park was purchased from long time owners Ben and Renae Atherton and whose work was recently recognised through a gold award for the Best of Queensland Award for Best Caravan or Holiday Park and the Most Outstanding Contribution by an Individual at the Mackay Isaac Tourism Awards 2022.
The acquisition marks the eleventh property in Queensland for NRMA Parks and Resorts and brings the total to 40 holiday parks and resorts across the nation.
