1 NRMA Treasure Island Holiday Resort Gold Coast
With the attractions of the Gold Coast on its doorstep, you might think this holiday park would go easy on the family fun on site. But you would be wrong. Go karts, a tennis court, an outdoor cinema and mini-golf are just a few of the activities for families to enjoy here, not to mention an outdoor gym and complimentary Wi-Fi for mum and dad. A heated spa is the perfect place to recover after action-filled days at one of the nearby theme parks, and you’ll find everything from powered tent sites to riverside villas for accommodation. nrmaparksandresorts.com.au
2 BIG4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort Cannonvale
This tropical paradise in Airlie Beach has long been a favourite for holidaying families, and we are not surprised to see it once again earn a place among our top holiday resorts for 2018. It boasts its very own animal park, complete with adorable calves, goats and chickens that will enchant little animal lovers. When they tire of that, head to park’s great pool, where there are shallow areas with mushroom fountains for toddlers, and thrilling water slides for the whole family. You can also hit a round of mini-golf for some healthy competition. There are powered sites, three-bedroom cabins and everything in between at this amazing park. adventurewhitsunday.com.au
