BIG4 East Narooma Shores Holiday Village NSW

One of the things that I really like about staying here is the water, the park is absolutely on the banks of the Wagonga Inlet which is a lovely stretch of peaceful water. I have seen it develop a ripple or two from time to time, but not that often.

The park is a kids holiday haven, with a resort swimming pool, jumping pillow, pedal go karts and a kids club during Christmas holidays. It is also a perfect spot for people who just want to go fishing – you can even freeze your monster catch in the park fish freezers to take home with you.

If you want to do things off the park, then the area has plenty to keep you busy including scenic cruises, golf, kayaking and whale watching (in season). If you are into oysters, then the annual May Oyster Festival (13th to 15th May 2010) would have to be high on your list of must do’s.

While you are there you might like to take a day trip to Montague Island, which is about 9km off shore. The island is a national park and home to around 12,000 little penguins, New South Wales largest colony of fur seals plus providing a breeding ground for 15 or so bird species. If that is not enough, dolphins, whales and grey nurse shark make regular calls here.

Narooma is a friendly place, and staying at BIG4 East Narooma Shores Holiday Park makes it even better.

BIG Fun on the Bellarine

“We wanted BIG4 Bellarine Holiday Park to be an accommodation provider like no other. Every aspect of our park was built with the needs of the modern traveller in mind. With a full size soccer pitch and Aussie Rules goal posts, indoor heated swimming pool, water playground, children’s adventure playground and cinema room, there is plenty to keep guests busy. In reality, they don’t need to leave the park – we even have an in-house barista to satisfy those morning coffee cravings! ” Tim explains.

Beyond the park gates the region’s historic villages, stunning beaches and local tourist attractions provide a whole new playground. The Bellarine Peninsula really is the ideal holiday destination.

For something decidedly different and entirely entertaining, Queenscliff’s legendary Blues Train is ideal for a spectacular dining and musical experience. The kids will enjoy Adventure Park Victoria, Victoria’s largest water park, complete with a range of land and water-based rides. Sitting close by on six acres of beautifully landscaped gardens is the Bellarine Adventure Golf Course. Featuring two magnificent 18 hole course, this is not your average mini-golf!

“Holiday Parks are far more than merely a place to rest one’s head, and BIG4 Bellarine Holiday Park is a magnificent park in a great location.
