SAVANNAH CABINS TO BOOST ZOO'S ACCOMMODATION CAPACITY

Taronga Western Plains Zoo has confirmed the construction of its new Savannah Cabins is well underway, with the 15 cabins set to open in September 2014.

The $4 million project is co-funded through two separate grants of $250,000 each from the Australian Government under the Tourism Industry Regional Development Fund (TIRF) program and the NSW Government’s Regional Visitor Economy Fund (RVEF) administered by its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.

The Savannah Cabins complex comprises 14 premium two bedroom, two bathroom self-contained cabins, and one cabin with one specially-designed bathroom for access by visitors with a disability. Each cabin can sleep up to six people and features a fully-contained kitchen, lounge area, private deck with barbecue. The Cabins are set on the secluded grasslands adjacent to Zoofari Lodge, near the African Savannah.

NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Tourism and Major Events Andrew Stoner said he was delighted the NSW Government’s funding will enable more people to visit the Central West and experience a night at the Zoo.

“Not only will more people be able to sleep in luxury cabins and listen to the animals outside, but the extra capacity will help contribute to doubling overnight visitor expenditure by 2020,” Mr Stoner said.
