Is it really a family holiday without your beloved dog? The following holiday venues are pet-friendly, with some explicitly catering to the wants and needs of every travelling dog.
Please refer to the pet terms and conditions outlined for each accommodation option.
BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park
66-86 Siganto Drive, Helensvale, Q 4212
The BIG4 Gold Coast Holiday Park is located across the road from Movie World, Wet'n'Wild, Outback Spectacular and Topgolf (and only a very short drive to Dreamworld and White Water Word). However, this venue boasts so many activities and facilities that guests may not even bother visiting these tourist sites.
A recently established water park is the highlight of any family holiday at the BIG4 Gold Coast. There are also pools, a guest spa, a giant inflatable pillow, a games room and pedal karts available for hire.
The design of the park clearly caters for four-legged friends with the inclusion of a large off-leash dog running area, Doggy Poolside Café and an onsite dog wash.
Pets are permitted in a selection of dog-friendly cabins (sleeping 2,4 or 6 guests) and several powered ensuite camping sites.
