Mandalay Holiday Resort

www.mandalayresort.com.au Slides, tipping buckets, water gardens, floating rivers, huge shade awnings – the more splash, screams and slips a water park has, the more the kids love them. In fact, holiday parks these days have such fantastic water features that many kids don’t want to leave the property. Fun factor aside, water parks are usually also at least partly shaded, which is a godsend for parents in the summer sun.

A holiday park with a bit of a difference is Busselton’s Mandalay. This Western Australian gem has a colourful waterslide where the kids really can slide down a rainbow! Wonder if they’ll find a pot of gold?
