Luxury and affordability? Who says you can’t have it all on your next family holiday? And it’s right here, on the Gold Coast.
Let’s be real: the family holiday has taken a backseat in recent years. Between the cost-of-living crisis and the general chaos of life, it’s easy to feel like a getaway is just a distant dream. But what if we told you there’s a way to escape the every day and experience a touch of luxury without breaking the bank?
A trip to the brand-new luxury cabins at Big4 Gold Coast Holiday Park is what every family needs right now. These aren’t your average holiday park cabins. We’re talking air-conditioned bliss, sumptuous beds, marble bathrooms with rain showers and a divine range of shampoo and soaps. You’ll feel like you’re living in the lap of luxury.
With fully-equipped kitchens, including a dishwasher and a massive fridge with a chilled water dispenser, these cabins offer everything you need for a comfortable and indulgent stay for the whole family.
“These are a bit more upmarket from our previous cabins, with more modern decor, brass fittings in the kitchen and bathroom areas and a little more luxury,” says Candy Workman, Sales and Business Development Manager at Gold Coast Holiday Park.
What’s wonderful is that you can enjoy the luxury of a hotel, and it comes with the facilities and activities that families want from a getaway. An epic waterpark, giant jumping pillow, pedal cars, movie nights, sports facilities and the tastiest dining, which is also surprisingly affordable, is the best of both worlds and is right here in Southeast Queensland.

The heated pool and spa are the perfect place to unwind if you feel like something more relaxed. While the new eco-friendly playground is hugely popular with the little ones. Made from recycled materials, such as ocean waste, plastics and textiles, it is designed to motivate children to play, learn how to move, improve balance, and socialise with other kids.
“The new playground is such a great place where the kids can go and have fun,” says Candy. “There are several seating areas, so parents can relax and enjoy a coffee. Plus, it’s next to the basketball courts where older kids can play games. The dog park is also right there, so the dogs can have a runaround. So the whole family can go down the back of the park and burn off some steam.”
And let’s not forget the Giant Jumping Pillow, offering hours of bouncing fun for kids of all ages! There’s also a kids’ activity centre with arts and crafts, hair braiding, and special guests to entertain the little ones.
