BIG4 Casino Holiday Park
$128-175 AUD/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want a spacious, history-rich base camp in the 'Beef Capital' where you can tee off outside your cabin door.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Unique setting on a former WWII airfield (you can camp on the old runway)
- On-site 9-hole golf course that's casual and accessible
- Genuine country hospitality with spacious, well-separated cabins
Kurzfassung: A surprisingly cool holiday park that trades coastal crowds for country quiet, though you'll need to drive into town for a decent meal.
Bewertet von @Lifewedesign: I stayed in the Accessible Cabin and it was such a relief to find a place that actually works for mobility needs. The bathroom is huge, the layout is wide open, and I loved having my own laundry. The sunset over the park was the cherry on top.

5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The park's history as a WWII airport is more than just a gimmick; original buildings are still in use.
💡The 'Economy' cabins are genuinely small—upgrade to a 2-bedroom if you have more than two people.
💡There is a $55 fee for after-hours key collection if you don't arrange it beforehand.
💡The local 'Beef Week' in May is massive—book months in advance if you plan to visit then.
💡Safety in Casino town can be patchy at night; the park is secure, but lock your car when parking in town.
