AUSTRALIAN Tourist Park Management (ATPM) has acquired the lease for
Mitchell Gardens Holiday Park in Bairnsdale, Victoria.
The nine-year deal with East Gippsland Shire Council brings the company's
property portfolio to 30.
Twelve properties are operated under its own Escape2 Holiday Parks brand,
five are NRMA holiday parks and the remainder are managed on behalf of
various local and state governments and private owners.
Chief executive Mark Manteit said he was looking forward to working with
the council to manage and improve the park facilities, maintenance and the
overall guest experience.
"Our first order of business was to change the name of the park to
Bairnsdale Riverside Holiday Park to reflect the enviable riverside
location," he said.
"The website and park signage will be refreshed in the coming months with
the new name and brand."
Mr Manteit said the park appealed to ATPM for its stunning location and
excellent facilities.
"We choose parks that combine fantastic outdoor locations with excellent
facilities and hospitality," he explained.
"The park sits on the banks of the Mitchell River, near the Bairnsdale
shopping district.
"The local area has so much to offer and this park is the perfect base to
enjoy a Bairnsdale holiday.
“We want all our guests to have a holiday that creates lifelong memories,
both at the park and within the community.
"By providing excellent facilities, accommodation and hospitality, we hope
guests will stay longer at the park and enjoy all that Bairnsdale has to
offer."
Mr Manteit said his company was looking forward to creating and operating
a park that would be an asset to the local community.
Other changes already made at the park include upgrading the wireless
internet, which will be offered free to guests, and expanding pet-friendly
sites to include all caravan and camping sites at certain times of the
year.
