Family Fun
Some of the best holidays are those taken with family. Memories are created and stories to tell for years to come - however, the fear of most parents is not having enough to do. Keeping the kids entertained and balancing out some quality adult time; a massage, a spa treatment or a romantic dinner. Let us put your mind at ease ... we have loads to keep the whole family entertained!
Being a regional centre, there is loads to do for the family. From mini golf to put and glow, a movie at the cinema centre to a state of the art aquatic centre. Popular activities include discovering our walking tracks, cycling, gold panning, parks and gardens, golf and discovering our nearby wineries.
