  5. Gippsland's Best Kid-friendly Accommodation

Less “are we there yet?”, more “can we stay longer?”

Gippsland’s family-friendly stays put the fun within easy reach, from beach breaks in Lakes Entrance or Inverloch, train adventures in Walhalla and koala spotting on Raymond Island.

Choose resorts with pools and games rooms, self-contained cabins and cottages, or farm stays and secluded retreats with room to roam. Holiday homes bring the whole crew together, while caravan and holiday parks offer camping, caravanning and cabins, plenty of playmates and prices that leave room in the budget for ice cream.

Resorts

With pools to splash in, games rooms to conquer and plenty of facilities on your doorstep, resorts make keeping the kids entertained a breeze. Your biggest task? Convincing them it’s time to leave.
