Your family deserves a little break, wouldn’t you say? And even if they don’t, they might do someday (if they’re very well behaved). Thus, we’ve compiled a handy list of spots across the country to suit everyone. Grab the kids, grab the dog and have a blast.

BIG4 Batemans Bay Beach Resort

Batemans Bay, NSW

Sat next to the idyllic seaside town of Batemans Bay, the eponymous resort has everything you need for coastal good times. The private cabins are comfy, pet friendly and fitted with all the essentials, and there’s plenty to keep you occupied. Whether you fancy a game of tennis, a stroll along the beach or heavy arcade session, you’ll be well and truly sorted.

Anglesea Beachfront Family Caravan Park

Anglesea, VIC

The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia’s most iconic features, and the charming village of Anglesea is right in the heart of it. The Beachfront Family Caravan Park is equipped with a swimming pool, spa and gym, as well as some lovely accommodation options if you don’t happen to own a caravan. The surrounding beaches, bushland and coastal towns are just waiting for you to discover.

Gold Coast Holiday Park

Gold Coast, QLD

Two words: theme parks. The Gold Coast is Australia’s theme park capital, and Gold Coast Holiday Park puts you in prime position to visit Movie World, Wet’n’Wild, Australian Outback, Dreamworld, Whitewater World and Seaworld. That’s a lot of worlds. The park’s accommodation choices are great too, including campsites, caravan space (big rigs welcome), a modern motel and even private cabins.

Beach Heaven

Middleton, TAS

This one sounds like it pretty much describes itself, but we’ll go into it anyway. Perched in one of Tasmania’s most beautiful spots, Beach Haven is a gorgeous cottage right on the D’Entrecastreaux Channel waterfront. It’s spacious, luxurious and sleeps up to 14 people (pets welcome too), with everything from a full kitchen to free Wi-Fi to a secure kids’ play area onsite.

Huon Valley Caravan Park

Huon Valley, SA

What’s better than a fun caravan park? A fun caravan park on a farm, of course. Huon Valley Caravan Park is a big old slice of rustic paradise, making all the joys of country life available to you. Hiking, fishing and biking are just the beginning, and the park itself is well positioned for daytrips into Hobart, Bruny Island and various other nearby points of interest.

Diamond Forest Cottages

Manjumup, WA

Western Australia’s towering forests are magnificent all year round, and Diamond Forest Cottages gets you up close and personal with their fairytale landscape. The cottages have all the comforts of home (plus a little extra – barbeque on the veranda, anyone?), and the farmland setting means there’s plenty of animals to meet. It’s utterly idyllic, and you’ll basically never want to leave.

Byron Rainforest Resort

Byron Bay, NSW

The Byron Rainforest is a tranquil oasis just a short distance from the sea, and it’s perfect for a quiet break away from the bustling city. The resort fully gets this, and it’s designed specifically for young families, disabled guests and pets. The nine cottages provide an excellent HQ to experience what the region has to offer, so get ready to taste, play and explore your way through Byron Bay in peace.
