Enjoy A Caravanning Holiday, Without The Caravan!

If you love the outdoors and the caravanning experience, but want to leave the caravan or camping gear at home, then a cabin holiday is the perfect alternative.

Cabin holidays are an ideal holiday option, offering all the comforts of home plus all the social lifestyle benefits and fun activities offered by a Caravan / Holiday Park. Whether you’re a couple going away on a romantic weekend away, an extended family group on a long family holiday, or even an overnight corporate traveller, cabin accommodation is a great option.

Kathy Corones, owner and manager of BIG4 Barney Beach in Gladstone, experiences firsthand how popular cabins are with guests, from couples who have been caravanning for years in their own caravan, to those who are brand new to the experience.  “For those of whom it’s their first experience staying in a cabin, they are amazed by how much nicer it is than staying in a motel where there’s room after room after room”, commented Kathy, “It’s lovely relaxed accommodation, with professionally decorated interiors and a really homely feel”. 

With over 35,000 cabins available all around Australia, you’re spoilt for choice!  There is a fantastic variety of cabin types available, from the basics (even then you’ll usually find you have your own bathroom and kitchen) through to the most indulgent accommodation available, surpassing many other forms of accommodation for space, privacy and luxurious comforts.  “There is such a choice of cabins available on the market,” says Kathy, “You’ve got the usual Caravan Park options, from the budget options to cabins with all the bells and whistles...In our Park we’ve even got cabins with chandeliers!”  

BIG4 Holiday Parks was recently involved in our Better Homes and Gardens promotion, giving away a total of $25,000 worth of wonderful cabin holidays to 25 very lucky viewers who are now planning their carefree getaways.
