Discovery Parks - Cradle Mountain

 

Been eying off a family getaway to the Apple Isle? The time is now to book your Tasmanian holiday! G’day Parks has a great selection of family-friendly cabins and glamping experiences, whether you’re visiting the cities or road tripping along the coast. With the G’day Parks app, lock in a stay at one of these great parks (and join G’day Rewards to enjoy mates rates every day).

Discovery Parks - Cradle Mountain

 

One thing’s for sure: your family will never, ever forget your trip to Cradle Mountain. The park has BBQs and a camp kitchen, or you can cook dinner in the comfort of your own cabin. Fall in love with Tasmania’s iconic critters at Devils@Cradle, a wildlife sanctuary where you’ll enjoy daily tours and encounters. From October to April, join a Sunset Experience to watch the sun set over Cradle Mountain and meet Tasmanian devils up close. Most of all, the spectacular national park will take your breath away, whether you’re walking in the shadows of the mountain peaks or embarking on a canyoning adventure (big kids only).

Your Deluxe Two-Bedroom Cabin looks out over the trees—staying warm and cosy in the winter and light and cool during the summer. With a modern kitchen and bathroom, two bedrooms, and lots of space, your family will take no time to settle in.

Beauty Point Tourist Park

 

Beauty Point Tourist Park is the gateway to the very best of Launceston and its surrounds. Only 40 minutes from the city centre, stay in a picturesque and calming riverside town. You can easily spend a day exploring the joys of Cataract Gorge, from its chairlift and scenic walks to the swimming pool and water cruises. Near the park, animal lovers will thrive with a double visit to the Seahorse World and Platypus House. Cap off the evening with a penguin-watching tour the kids will squeal over.

Book a Two-Bedroom Riverview Cottage for an outlook over the Tamar River and more than enough space for a family of five. Happy hour on your outdoor deck never looked better!

Strahan Beach Tourist Park

 

Strahan Beach Tourist Park is a hidden gem on Tasmania’s west side. It’ll be easy to convince the kids with the promise of a trip to Henty Dunes; these massive sand dunes tower up to 30 metres high along 15 kilometres of coastline. Many places in town hire out sandboards so you can spend hours surfing the sand facing ocean and rainforest views. Then, head inland for a family forest hike to Hogarth Falls. The park is located right beside the beach, plus it has a games room, playground, and fire pit hire (bring your marshmallows!).

A Family Suite is big enough to sleep six people, with all the helpful amenities to make your cabin feel like an extension of home.

Discovery Parks - Hobart

 

Head down south to Discovery Parks - Hobart. Kids can funnel their energy into the bouncing pillow, putt putt course, and playground, all while the adults relax on the deck with a glass of wine. By day, stroll the Salamanca Markets, wander the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens, or soak up the town’s history at the Port Arthur Historic Site. Find your way through the hedges at Amaze Richmond or gear up for a ride through Clarence Mountain Bike Park—and make sure to take the family out for dinner at one of the many award-winning restaurants in town.

A Deluxe Two-Bedroom Cabin for four people comes complete with a TV for movie nights, private bathroom, air conditioning, and a full kitchen (dishwasher included, so there’s no need to fight over who washes and dries!).
