04 Aug Top 4 Family Vacation Spots in Australia

Picking out the right vacationing location for your family can be a bother. It is an understatement to say that things can become hectic if one or, God forbid, more of your family members are unsatisfied with the location. Things can escalate the most if the children find it boring and non-engaging, since you can’t always reason with them. If they become restless, you can say goodbye to your time for rest and relaxation.

Coming up with a different location every year can be the best solution. A lot of people think that this requires more money but that isn’t the case. There is a sea of offers out there, all within the same price range, offering approximately the same quality of services. Another thing that will usually be great for the entire family is going to a place that has a different climate (in other words, a place on the opposite hemisphere from your home). This will allow your family to have a summer vacation in the middle of winter and this is precisely the reason why people living in the northern hemisphere frequently choose Australia as their vacation destination.

Australia really has a lot to offer and I’m going to suggest five different places which are perfect for a family getaway.

Geraldton

This is a well rounded up family vacationing spot with a variety of activities for people of all ages. The beach is beautiful and you can enjoy surfing and windsurfing, if you are a fan or if you just want to try it out for the first time. The kids will love it and you don’t have to worry about their safety, since they will be under the watchful eye of professional lifeguards. You can also go Whale watching and you can visit a variety of museums.

Sydney

If you are visiting Australia, it would be a shame to miss out on its most iconic city. There are really a lot of sites to see and you should at least devote one day of your stay in Australia to walk around and see at least some of them. If you are a fan of night clubs, parties and concerts, there is always something going on, since Sydney is famous around the world for its nightlife. Having a cup of coffee while enjoying the view from the Sydney Opera House is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

Merimbula

Located on the southern coast of the New South Wales coast line, Merimbula has a unique atmosphere and is more than suitable for all age groups. The very geographical location is interesting, since you will be staying in a place located between the Merimbula Lake and the Tasman Sea, surrounded by beautiful forests and unique wildlife. On top of this, it has a very lively cultural life, which includes a Jazz Festival, Orchid shows and a whole lot more. If you have a craving for excitement during your stay, Merimbula has got you covered with its surfing, wave sailing and even kite surfing events, where the choice falls on you, if you want to be a participant or remain a spectator. Beaches in Merimbula are spectacular, but you can also go on a road trip around the lake in order to experience the wildlife around it. This may make things seem a bit bustled and noisy, but there are serene places which you can stay at if you want to relax and have some peace and quiet.

Golden Coast Sea World

With a 4.5 star rating, this complex will offer you more fun options than you can manage in a week’s time, which is the average time a family spends on holiday. There are a variety of things to do that are fun and exciting for people of all ages, like spectacular dolphin shows for instance. If you are staying in the hotel for two days or longer, you get access to training sessions, which are an exclusive. As far as the young ones are concerned, they get the chance to meet a different Nickelodeon character each day and go on an underwater adventure with SpongeBob Squarepants. Of course, you get access to all grade A beaches around the Golden Coast, which are constantly being supervised by a team of highly professional lifeguards. Each day, water conditions are checked and proper signalization is put up to warn the swimmers about any potential threats.

Australia, the land down under, is a perfect vacationing spot for a family and is very well worth the trip. It has a unique environment, ecosystem and culture and the Aussies are friendly and welcoming people. All of this makes it impossible for any of your family members to be disappointed by this year’s holiday destination.
