Whether it be for a Valentine’s Day getaway or to kickstart the new year with a holiday, February is a great time to explore more of Australia. There are so many locations that impress at this time of year, when school holidays are over and summer still has its legs. It may be a short month, but it’s chock-a-block full of big possibilities!

Getaway 1: Treat Yourself

Valentine’s Day makes February the ideal time to treat yourself! Get away from the hustle and bustle and take some time to relax and rejuvenate. Some G’day Parks have added perks to help you do just that, with hosted yoga classes (Discovery Parks – Byron Bay, NSW) to an on-site day spa offering massage and beauty treatments (Anchorage Holiday Park, NSW). Think locations with glamping tents, ocean views, and deluxe spa cabins for a little extra luxury—spoiling yourself has never been easier.

This February:

  • Book a stay in a luxury glamping tent on Rottnest Island, WA and sip cocktails at Pinky’s Beach Club
  • Go island hopping in the Whitsundays, QLD
  • Take a yoga class in Byron Bay, NSW.

Getaway 2: Chase Adventure

If you’re seeking adventure over romance, the last of the summer months delivers plenty of choice. With warm coastal waters, you can take your pick of swimming, snorkelling, and diving, or stay on dry land to sample 4WDing, hiking, and cycling or mountain biking. True adrenaline junkies will get a kick out of ziplining, sky diving, or paragliding. Forget the lovey-dovey stuff—use your February getaway for ticking off once-in-a-lifetime adventure experiences. G’day Parks brings you close to the best of regional attractions and, if you’re a G’day Rewards member, you can save on local attractions with our partner, Experience Oz.

Getaway 3: Nature Calls

While much of Australia’s far north is in the middle of its wet season, there’s still plenty of country to explore that is simply bursting with stunning nature in February. Given the weather is usually more temperate the further south you head, take in natural wonders, wildlife delights, and breathtaking scenery. Make your February holiday a love note to the beauty of our country by sampling the great outdoors.

This February:

  • Hike in the Tasmanian wilderness (without the winter chill)
  • Watch turtles hatching on the coast near Bundaberg, QLD.
  • Swim with sea lions south of Streaky Bay, SA while the water is at its warmest
  • Walk among the giant trees of WA’s south-west, whether on the ground or along a stunning treetop platform.

Getaway 4: Pack Your Pals

Holiday parks are a perfect solution for group travel, providing options for camping groups or roomy self-contained cabin accommodation. If travelling with your buddies is more your cup of tea, why not turn Valentine’s Day into a group getaway to celebrate your friendship? With the madness of Christmas out of the way and the kids back in school, February holidays are suited to groups of singles and friends looking for a fun and relaxing time.

This February:

  • Cycle your way from cellar door to cellar door along the famous Riesling Trail in the Clare Valley, SA
  • Plan a river holiday by the mighty Murray in VIC or NSW
  • Road trip along the Great Ocean Road, VIC
  • Eat your way through amazing gourmet experiences in Margaret River, WA.

Getaway 5: Enjoy a City Stay

Sometimes, a weekend getaway to the big smoke can be just the ticket. Staying in a holiday park adds a fun twist to your city stay, with a host of awesome in-park activities that you simply can’t get in a hotel. Fill your days with cafés, galleries, museums, and more! Book a specialty experience or event – like a concert or bridge climb – for some added excitement, and pack light so that you can go on a shopping spree.

This February:

  • Laugh along to comedy and theatre at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Adelaide, SA.
  • Watch sport, browse laneways and art galleries, and taste rich cups of coffee in Melbourne, VIC.
  • Splash around in Streets Beach, shop, or cruise the river in Brisbane, QLD.
  • Markets, museums, and mouth-watering local produce await in Hobart, TAS.
