Congratulations to the April 2025 Business of the Month; Whyalla Caravan and Tourist Park.
From the moment we stepped into the Whyalla Caravan and Tourist Park property, it was the realisation of what transformation can provide. Whilst I was going to write this as a good news story; and that is still an element, the real truth here is that hard honest work is the prevailer of what has led to this success.
Stephen and Tanya Edwards and family first arrived in Whyalla around three and a half years ago having purchased the property. Steve tells me that at the start they would get about six caravans a week but it is now highly recommended to make a reservation as they are generally fully booked out year round. There was just the two of them that started the journey but now have a team of eight to help with everything the park requires to keep in its meticulous condition.
The park boasts over 50 different caravan sites, 3 styles of cabins, cottages, units, and for our FiFo friends there’s also workers accommodation. All of this situated in an ambience of native trees and shrubs with an impeccable clean environment. Stepping into the Reception area you’ll be greeted with not only friendly service but an array of everything visitors need to navigate Whyalla and its community.
Other amenities include a camp kitchen for those wishing to mingle amongst other guests and sit around a bonfire during the colder months, a fully capable fish cleaning station for those avid fishers, and very clean laundry and bathroom facilities. But here’s the good news; they’ve recently purchased a further six acres alongside to essentially double the park area.
Steve and Tanya, you really do need to be congratulated on what you have achieved with your vision.
And lastly, whilst Whyalla Caravan and Tourist Park is referred as ‘The Quiet Alternative’, I would like to think it could also be known as the ‘The Loud Achiever’… well done.
Please remember, shop local, shop Whyalla…
