BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park – Melbourne family holidays

BIG4 Traralgon Park Lane Holiday Park is an easy two-hour drive from Melbourne. Turning in, we immediately knew we were in for a fun time. We could see a huge adventure ropes course, a jumping pillow, a playground and a swimming pool. The kids were already exclaiming in excitement!

The holiday park itself is immaculately kept. Brightly coloured cabins line quiet, paved streets. Beautiful trees, hedges and gardens decorate the park.

We passed motorhomes, caravans and tents. Children rode their scooters along the streets whilst parents lounged in camp chairs, chatting. The atmosphere was one of relaxed family fun. Traralgon Park Lane is a pet-friendly holiday park, so even the family pet is welcome at all sites and cabins.

Family fun and games on-site

As soon as we got settled in, the kids were very eager to go and explore all the fun of the park  – and who could blame them!

We went on the jumping pillow every day!

We all went for a bounce on the huge jumping pillow first – it was a lot of fun! But with so much entertainment to choose from at Traralgon Park Lane, it wasn’t long before the Park’s own hire pedal go-karts were calling – and off we went for a few laps around the park. Both kids and adults are welcome to ride on them, and it’s a great family activity to do together.

Almost every day we loved to head to the solar-heated swimming pool for a refreshing swim, or just to relax by the pool. There is an indoor heated spa just next door to the pool too.

The swimming pool was overlooked by dinosaurs!

The kid’s moulded plastic playground is a real treat for toddlers up to school-age children. It has with lots of different obstacles to climb and slides to try. For peace of mind, the playground, jumping pillow and pool are all protected with shade sails to help keep sun off.

The outdoor playground has a padded floor and seats for parents

During school holidays and on weekends, the adventure high ropes course, mini golf, laser tag and indoor fun park are all open.

Parky’s Fun Park

There’s so much to do at Traralgon Park Lane!

We decided to play the 18-hole Mini Golf course first. Fantastically themed with massive dinosaur models, life-sized pirates, Scooby-Doo, the Cars Movie and lots more, it’s a really unique and fun activity – and makes for some really great family photos in front of the T-Rex!

Mini Golf was full of adventure!

Next we took the challenge, and headed up the exciting adventure ropes course. It’s safety-first, and climbers watch an instruction video, before donning a full harness and hard-hat. All climbers are attached to the structure with metal cables at all times, which starts with easier levels, increasing in difficulty with each level. This was a super-fun family activity, and we all really enjoyed tackling the course.

It’s safety first on the high ropes course

Next-up, the kids asked me if I was up for a game of Laser Tag? Challenge, accepted! We all got suited up and headed inside the giant inflatable structure. There’s nothing quite as exciting as running around in the semi-dark shooting at each other with laser guns. It was so much fun, and our tactics so hilarious, we couldn’t stop laughing the whole time!

Our Superior Family Cabin had everything we needed – and so much more

Traralgon Park Lane offer a large range of villas and cabins. Our accommodation for the week was a Superior Family Cabin.

Our cabin had a generously-sized veranda complete with an outdoor table. Inside it featured an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. Elegantly furnished, there was a huge plush corner-suite lounge, full-sized modern kitchen and dining table. A huge flat-screen TV and DVD were mounted in the corner. It was a great family space, with plenty of room to spare. Powerful reverse-cycling air conditioning kept the inside of the cabin at the optimum temperature.

The open plan family area had plenty of space

The kitchen was fully fitted out with kettle, toaster, microwave, oven and hot plates, full-sized fridge and dishwasher. A pod coffee maker added an extra touch of luxury. There was an full complement of pots and pans, and plenty of crockery, glassware and cutlery – everything needed to whip up a family meal.

The kitchen had everything needed – including a dishwasher

Down the hall, the master bedroom featured a huge, comfortable king-sized bed. All linen and towels were supplied. There was plenty of hanging and drawer space and a large, mounted flatscreen TV on the wall at the end of the bed.

Next door was the second bedroom. It delighted the kids with it’s solid white bunk beds with sky-blue quilts. Underneath the bottom bunk,  a full-size trundle bed was concealed – perfect for those families with three children.

The kids loved their bedroom

Across the hall was the luxurious double-sized bathroom, with a twin vanity and double shower. A hairdryer is supplied.

The corner of the bathroom served as the laundry,  with a washing machine and dryer. There was also an ironing board and iron. Next door to the bathroom was a separate toilet.

The double bathroom was very luxurious

We were very happy with our cabin. A full kitchen made self-catering a breeze, and having a washing machine and dryer made it so much easier to keep up with the family laundry. The dishwasher was another huge time-saver – both children AND parents get to relax on this holiday!

BYO tent, caravan, camping trailer or motor home

There’s plenty of powered sites available for tents, caravans and RVs, and even ensuite sites.

Camping and caravanning facilities include a fully equipped indoor camp kitchen, separate BBQ area, recreation room and TV lounge, shared amenities and a laundry with modern washing machines and super-fast dryers.
