Running a holiday park means balancing guest experience with operational efficiency – and a cashless laundry room is one of the simplest upgrades that delivers on both. Guests get convenience, your team gets fewer headaches, and your business gains a reliable, low-maintenance income stream.

If you’re planning improvements for the year ahead, here’s why more Australian parks are shifting to cashless laundry systems, and how the right equipment can help you maximise revenue without adding extra work to your plate.

Why go cashless? Because today’s guests expect it.

Coins are becoming a hassle. Guests rarely carry them, machines jam, and staff get dragged into fixing issues or handling cash they shouldn’t need to touch.

A cashless setup solves all of this:

• No more cash handling or counting
• No coin blockages or machine downtime
• Better guest experience – tap, pay, done
• Flexible pricing (peak/off-peak, new tariffs)
• Instant revenue tracking
• Reduced theft and vandalism risk

For long-stay guests, younger travellers, families and retirees – tap-and-go is now the default. A cashless laundry room meets modern expectations without complicating your operations.

A reliable revenue stream that runs itself

Most parks benefit from a compact, easy-to-maintain setup that balances capacity with space efficiency. Cashless systems pair perfectly with machines designed for high-turnover environments.

Maytag Stack Washer/Dryer (MLE/G22PD)

A park favourite.

Two commercial machines in the footprint of one.

• 9 kg capacity
• Full commercial performance
• Fast cycles
• Simple, durable controls
• Cashless, card or coin-ready

For parks with tight laundry rooms, this stack does the heavy lifting.

Maytag Commercial Front Load Washers (MHN33)

A high-efficiency option ideal for guest laundries:

• ~40L water use per cycle
• High G-force extraction
• Lower energy use
• Cashless-ready
• Built for all-day use

A reliable, cost-saving base machine for any park.

Cashless-ready industrial dryers

Commercial dryers like the ADG industrial series ensure towels, linen and clothing dry quickly – and cashless payment gives guests a simple, frustration-free way to run cycles.

How to set up your cashless laundry room

Switching is simpler than most operators expect.

A typical setup includes:

1. Cashless or card readers installed on each machine
2. A centralised dashboard to monitor usage and revenue
3. Pricing options for different cycles
4. Clear guest signage so anyone can use it
5. Minimal maintenance compared to coin systems

Dependable Laundry Solutions supports operators through installation, setup and training – making the move to cashless smooth for staff and guests.
