We recently enjoyed a wonderful theme park holiday on Queensland’s gorgeous Gold Coast. Like any vacation, making the right accommodation choice was so important.

I didn’t want to be spending all our time commuting up and down the highway from Surfers to the Movie World, Dreamworld and other Gold Coast theme parks – but I did want us to be in easy reach of Surfers Paradise for the occasional fun evening out. In addition, also have the option of being able to eat in when we were tired from a long day of fun at the parks! We found staying at the Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park to be the perfect holiday location.

What accommodation is near Dreamworld and Movie World?

Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park is the perfect accommodation choice for visiting the Gold Coast theme parks. Located just a few minutes drive away from Dreamworld and Movie World, the Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park is still just twenty minutes drive from the beaches and nightlife of Surfers Paradise.

Our 2 Bedroom Lakeview Terrace cabin

At Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park we stayed in a Lakeview Terrace cabin.

Our 2-bedroom Lakeview Terrace cabin was very spacious and modern, and gave us all lots of room to move, eat – and relax!

Accessed with a secure digital room card, the entry opened into a large living area featuring a comfortable lounge, dining area and kitchen.

Air-conditioned accommodation

On the wall a powerful reverse cycle air conditioner kept us cool, and there was plenty of natural light from the glass sliding doors and windows.

The elevated balcony had a beautiful outlook. It’s peaceful view over the waterway featured a fountain and surrounding grasslands, complete with all kinds of lovely water birds and parrots.

Two bedrooms sleep four people

I quickly settled into the main bedroom. With its comfortable double bed, the main bedroom also featured a second reverse cycle air conditioner, another flat screen TV, and had plenty of storage with bed side tables and a built-in wardrobe.

The girls happily claimed the second bedroom, which contained two single beds with a bedside table and its own built in wardrobe.

A generous bathroom and two toilets

The bathroom was located across the hall from the bedrooms and was modern and a generous size. It contained everything a family could need on vacation, including a large vanity, toilet, king size shower plus toiletries including shampoo and conditioner. A convenient second toilet was also located off the hall.

A holiday cabin with a full kitchen

Our cabin featured a full kitchen along one side of the living area. Kitchen appliances included a full-sized fridge, dishwasher, stove top and microwave. There was everything you would need for a home-cooked meal to serve on the large dining table. There were also supplied tea and coffee amenities.

Where can you get dinner near the Gold Coast theme parks?

If I didn’t feel like cooking, it was great to be able to grab a takeaway on the way back to the holiday park so we could all collapse on the lounge in front of the TV – or even better, pop into the holiday park’s own Nibbles Cafe!

A Holiday Park with its own restaurant

One of the huge advantages of staying at the Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park was eating at their on-site cafe. The poolside Nibbles Cafe has a wonderful variety of delicious dinner choices to dine in or take back to your cabin, including yummy parmies, pasta and pizza.

Breakfast and coffee at Nibbles Cafe

In the mornings, Nibbles Cafe served up barista coffee and delicious breakfasts for all the family. From vegemite toast and pancakes to Eggs Benedict and a full hot breakfast – they had everyone in our family covered!

 Family fun at Big4 Holiday Parks

In addition to all kinds of great accommodation, the Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park also offers an incredible range of fun activities to keep the whole family happy!

The tallest holiday park water park in Australia!

The Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park water park is simply amazing – it’s a whole attraction in itself, with several water slides and a dunking bucket. It’s the perfect place for the kids to cool off!

A resort-style swimming pool and spa

One of the park’s main features is a stunning resort style swimming pool surrounded with cabanas. It’s beautifully lit for night swimming too.

A giant jumping pillow & kids playground

In addition to the pool, in the extensive grounds you’ll also find a giant jumping pillow, a basketball court, a large children’s playground with a flying fox, go karts for hire and there’s even a video games arcade!

A safe, good quality holiday park

The park itself is very well run and cared for. There’s a large reception building upon entry, and good park security thanks to code operated boom gates and Staff present around the park.

The speed-limited interior roads are sealed, lined with mowed lawn and beautifully kept decorative gardens.

Many different styles of holiday accommodation available

The park itself offers many different types and styles of cabins and safari tents to stay in as well as a Motel. There are camping, RV and caravan sites available. The Gold Coast Holiday Park is also pet friendly.

Camping facilities

If you are bringing your RV or caravan, there are plenty of concrete sites, some with ensuites. There’s a pay laundry with washing machines and dryers and some great camping facilities too – such as a large and elegant camp kitchen and also toilet and shower amenities decorated with beautiful aquariums!

One of the best Gold Coast family holiday parks

Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park makes an excellent accommodation choice to have lots of fun at the Gold Coast theme parks, Surfer’s Paradise, or just hang out and enjoy the park activities! It really is hard to beat for great family accommodation on the Gold Coast!

Main Beach Tourist Park

A Gold Coast Tourist Park, Main Beach Tourist Park has so much going for it.

The location is perfect – five minute’s drive away from Surfers Paradise, Sea World, and just across the road lies one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Main Beach stretches for miles, right up to Surfers Paradise Beach in one direction, and seemingly to wild, uninhabited beach in the other, right along the Spit Peninsular. As if that wasn’t enough, this cabin and caravan park itself is beautiful.

The surrounding Gold Coast tower blocks let you know that you are in one of the most in-demand areas in Australia. This prime real-estate is the last place you’d expect to find a beautiful holiday park. Yet here you can stay in a luxurious villa cabin or bring your own motorhome or caravan.

A resort swimming pool, games room and playground

Main Beach Tourist Park is packed full of features for a great family holiday.

There’s a beautiful resort swimming pool protected from the sun by shade sails and surrounded by pool lounges. This makes it a great place to pass a lazy afternoon.

A fun kid’s playground and barbeque camp kitchen are also located just outside of the pool area.

There’s a big games room on site with a pool table, and enough claw machines and video games to keep the kids more than happy! You’ll find lots of tourist information brochures in the games room too, for even more holiday inspiration!

Park amenities

Main Beach Tourist Park has modern clean amenities, including a central toilets, showers and laundry building.

Dotted around the park you’ll find numerous barbeque areas and camp kitchens with attached dining areas.

Our family villa

Our luxurious villa slept up to six people and had everything we needed including all bedding, towels, bathroom amenities, kitchen accessories and a full-sized fridge. The whole cabin was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented.

The spacious lounge had two large sofas, a full dining setting and Foxtel TV.

There was a main bedroom was spacious with bedside tables and a large, mirrored wardrobe for clothes. Beautifully fashioned towels decorated the bed upon arrival and was a lovely surprise.

The second bedroom had four bunk beds for the kids and contained another mirrored wardrobe for clothes storage.

A modern bathroom had a separate shower and vanity, and also contained cleaning items. The toilet was located separately from the bathroom, off the hall.

Outside there was a large balcony featuring a BBQ and another dining table looking out towards the beach.

At night the sound of the waves gently lull you to sleep. There’s no doubting that you are at the Gold Coast when you stay at the Main Beach Tourist Park!

A Gold Coast caravan park with a difference

Main Beach Tourist Park is a great accommodation option for both road trips to the Gold Coast, or visitors flying in like us. It has a large range of accommodation options from singles right up to large multi-generational families.

There’s plenty of room to spread out, be comfortable and yet be close to all the Gold Coast attractions – which is everything you need for a great family holiday on the Gold Coast!
