Cape Willoughby Conservation Park

We’re excit­ed to share the lat­est updates to enhance Cape Willough­by Con­ser­va­tion Park, an icon­ic South Aus­tralian des­ti­na­tion. We are revi­tal­is­ing Cape Willough­by with a new vis­i­tor cen­tre, café and light­house tours.

Nego­ti­a­tions are under­way to max­imise the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pro­vide dis­tinc­tive and high qual­i­ty vis­i­tor expe­ri­ences on site. This invest­ment ensures the park’s her­itage is con­served for future generations.

This will pro­vide a dis­tinc­tive and high-qual­i­ty vis­i­tor expe­ri­ence that encour­ages longer stays and repeat visits.
