Extra beach-side spots at Esperance park

New overnight camp sites and accommodation options are now available at the beach-front RAC Esperance Holiday Park, following a $9.5 million expansion.

The expansion project saw an additional 11 one, two and three-bedroom villas added at the popular West Australian holiday park, as well as 10 one-bedroom studios, a further 14 caravan sites and the four-bedroom Azure Lodge – well known locally as the Fresh Air League building.

RAC Group Chief Operating Officer Mark Weller said the investment into the park’s expansion would provide holidaying families more options to suit their budgets and accommodation needs.

“RAC is proud to be supporting tourism in Esperance and helping more families to get down to this much-loved holiday precinct and enjoy Western Australia’s pristine southeast coast,” he said.

“The expanded RAC Esperance Holiday Park offers extra accommodation options to suit a variety of needs and budgets along with a road expansion, revived landscaping and extra laundry and bathroom facilities for caravan sites.”

The refreshed Azure Lodge was relocated from the Goldfields in 1947 and has supported the Eastern Goldfields Fresh Air League, provided accommodation for Scouts groups and most recently was home to a Youth Hostel.

“It was very important to us the iconic Fresh Air League building was honoured in a way that recognises the part it has played in many Goldfields residents’ lives,” he said.

“We are thrilled the adapted and renovated building will now become the centrepiece of our Esperance holiday park and continue giving generations of Western Australians happy memories of Esperance.”

The RAC Esperance Holiday Park is one of eight WA parks run by the 119-year-old state motoring group.
