I’m a great fan of the southern Gold Coast. It’s a fabulous weekend, or extended, getaway destination for the family, and only an hour’s drive (or less) from the Northern Rivers. While we often think about hotels, motels, and apartments for holiday accommodation, don’t overlook the value and convenience of a caravan/holiday park. And these days, you don’t need to have a caravan or tent to stay at some of the best ones.
Tweed Holiday Parks Tweed Heads is one of seven holiday parks in the Tweed Holiday Parks group. Located just across the border in Tweed Heads, the park offers a delightful blend of natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and family-friendly amenities. It’s a five to six minute drive to Cooly Beach, and right on the river.
Recently, I was fortunate to spend a night at one of their delightful three bedroom bungalows. These are perfect for the family, or two couples looking to have a getaway. The air conditioned bungalow was spacious with three bedrooms, two of which hold double beds, and the other with two single beds. Complete with two spacious bathrooms, including the main bedroom ensuite, the bungalow also had a fully equipped kitchen, a comfy lounge room with TV, private parking, and a big outdoor deck.
This holiday park caters to a variety of accommodation needs – from spacious powered sites for caravans and campers, to more luxurious options such as self-contained cabins and villas. For those staying on powered sites, the grounds are well-maintained, with plenty of shade and grassy areas. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or prefer the comfort of a cabin, the park offers a good selection to suit different preferences and budgets.
One of the highlights of this holiday park, is its range of facilities designed to enhance guests’ experience. The park boasts a well-maintained temperature controlled swimming pool with slide, perfect for a refreshing dip after a day at the beach. There’s also a large, modern camp kitchen with BBQ facilities, allowing guests to prepare meals in a relaxed outdoor setting. For families with children, the park offers playgrounds and ample open space for the kids to explore and enjoy.
Another notable feature is the well-kept amenities block. Clean, spacious, and regularly maintained, the showers and toilets are of a high standard, providing comfort and convenience for guests staying in powered sites and cabins. Additionally, there is an on-site laundry which is handy for longer stays.
This park offers direct access to the river with a private boat ramp to the Terranorra inlet, where you can enjoy activities like fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water. The surrounding area also boasts a number of walking and cycling tracks, ideal for those who enjoy outdoor exploration.
Overall, Tweed Holiday Parks Tweed Heads is an affordable, well-equipped, and family-friendly option for those looking to stay in Tweed Heads and the southern Gold Coast area.
