The good news is that when you book a new trip at G’day Parks, you’re tapping into a quality guarantee across our holiday park network—which just so happens to be the biggest one in Australia. No hidden costs or sneaky booking fees here (even if you’re travelling with pets, any charges are clearly listed in the accommodation description).

 

It’s easy to search for last-minute accommodation and not pay through the roof for your cabin or site. Plus, you get extra bang for your buck with our in-park facilities. Bundle both fun and helpful features into your stay, with everything from a fully equipped camp kitchen and laundry to a waterpark, mini golf, and bouncing pillow.

 

Heading north to the Sunshine State? Going south to the Apple Isle? Driving along the New South Wales coastline or soaking up South Australia? No matter where you check in with G'day Parks, you're sure to find great savings with our state-by-state deals.

Here are our top five tips to score the best holiday park deals in town—and all over Australia!

1. Join the G’day Rewards Fam:

For just $50, unlock two years of exclusive accommodation, fuel, and partner discounts with top Aussie brands like The Good Guys and Sealink. No matter the season or state, you’re guaranteed to save 10% off (up to $50) on every stay.

That means if your booking cost is over $500, you’ll recoup your membership cost straight away. G’day Rewards is the best way to snag stellar savings on your Aussie holidays, all year round.

2. Check Out our Deals page:

Dive in and browse deals by state, from Victoria’s Great Ocean Road to the Northern Territory’s Red Centre. These offers could include discounts on midweek stays, free nights for longer bookings, and kids stay free promos. How good is that?

On the website, you’ll find the Deals tab at the top of your screen, while on the app, it’s on the bottom navigation panel.

3. Maximise Your Annual Leave:

As you shave dollars off your accommodation, check the calendar to map out your best travel dates. Why not spend your short breaks snorkelling in Western Australia’s Coral Coast or winery hopping through autumn-coloured vineyards in South Australia's Barossa Valley?

If your trip overlaps with a public holiday, you’ll also save one of your precious annual leave days—it’s a win-win!

4. Go Against the Grain in the Off Season:

If you travel in peak periods, like the school holidays, deals might be scarce due to the high demand. Plus, if you need to add a flight to your budget, airfares could be pricey. Seasons also matter; heaps more travellers are vying for oceanside cabins in the heat of summer, but there’s just as much relaxation on offer with a peaceful beach getaway during the cooler months.

Travelling in the low/off season means that you get to experience a different side of a destination. Park reception staff will be more than happy to tell you their favourite local activities and must-see sights. It’s the best way to uncover hidden gems.

5. Follow G’day Parks on Social Media:

Chuck us a follow on Facebook and Instagram. We regularly share news, events, and offers from our park network in our stories—along with a healthy dose of travel inspo, for those who love scrolling through potential destinations and tapping the ‘save’ icon.

Plus, you’ll stay in the know and be the first to hear about any of our upcoming deal campaigns throughout the year.
