The kids will have a ball on the huge 35-metre water slide, playground, and dedicated ‘chill out zone' complete with TV, books, and games. Little beach bums will love the patrolled beaches, just a short walk from the park, for safe swimming and surfing.

Budding sports stars can make the most of the tennis court and multi-purpose sports field (ideal for netball, hockey, or soccer) while mum and dad can chill out poolside or grab food and drink in the licensed restaurant. If you have some little animal lovers in tow, head 30 minutes west to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary – the biggest koala sanctuary in the world – to hand-feed kangaroos and cuddle a koala.
