Just an easy 90‑minute drive north of Perth, Experience Lancelin Holiday Park makes a brilliant low‑stress weekend away with kids. Set right on the coast at Lancelin, the park combines that laid‑back beach holiday vibe with modern cabin accommodation and loads of on‑site fun for families.
The park’s self‑contained two‑bedroom cabins are modern, spacious and thoughtfully fitted out with everything you need for a short break. In the main bedroom you’ll find a comfortable king‑size bed with enough room to squeeze in a portacot, while the second bedroom sleeps three in single beds, with a sixth bed available on request. The beds, linen and pillows are clean and cosy, so you actually get a good night’s sleep – essential when you’re travelling with kids.
In the open‑plan living area there’s a large corner sofa that seats the whole family without anyone stuck on a dining chair, and big flat‑screen TVs in both the lounge and the main bedroom. Reverse‑cycle air‑conditioning keeps the cabin comfy year‑round, and little touches like free Wi‑Fi, a music system and a Lavazza coffee machine with complimentary capsules make it feel more like a beach house than basic park accommodation.
One of the best things about these cabins is their location within the park. They sit directly opposite the giant jumping pillow, Playground and large grassy lawn area, so kids can run between the cabin and the play space all day. Parents can relax on the veranda, coffee in hand, while still being close enough to keep an eye on the action. The park layout includes shared paths that are perfect for bikes, scooters and trikes, and the atmosphere is relaxed and family‑focused, so kids have the freedom to explore.
A short stroll from the cabins is the park’s impressive indoor heated pool and spa complex. The pool is a lifesaver in cooler weather or when the sea breeze picks up, and kids can happily splash for hours. For worn‑out grown‑ups, a soak in the spa at the end of the day is a big plus. There’s also an activity room with a ping‑pong table, games, a TV with Nintendo and a chalkboard wall, giving you an easy back‑up plan for early mornings, hot afternoons or rainy spells. During school holiday periods the park often runs kids’ activities – things like slime‑making sessions – which add to the sense that everything you need for entertainment is right on site.
Food and coffee are nicely covered too. During our stay a coffee van, On Point Coffee, was parked beside the cabins serving proper barista coffee and jaffles from early in the morning – the Nutella and marshmallow jaffle was a particular hit with the kids. After a quick caffeine stop, it’s only a few minutes’ walk along the path and you’re on the beach. The park backs onto a beautiful stretch of coastline, so you can head down for a swim, a beach walk or a spot of fishing without even getting in the car.
The beachfront path also makes it a simple, family‑friendly walk to local favourite Hole in the Van. This quirky, relaxed spot is perfect for a lazy morning on beanbags with icy poles, smoothies, milkshakes, coffee and sweet treats. Back in town, Lancelin offers plenty more reasons to stay an extra night: sandboarding on the famous white dunes, 4WD and quad bike adventures, and an easy day trip to the Pinnacles in nearby Nambung National Park if you’re keen to explore further. For meals with a view, the Endeavour Tavern’s big beer garden overlooks the ocean and is a lovely place for lunch or sunset drinks while the kids play. You can also cast a line or squid jig off the jetty as the sun goes down – a very West Aussie way to end the day.
The park is a great choice if you’re travelling with a caravan or camper too. Experience Lancelin Holiday Park offers a range of powered sites – including grass, concrete and shade‑cloth options – plus a camp kitchen and BBQs, so it’s easy to cook up your day’s catch or some of Lancelin’s famous local lobster. Many of the sites are dog‑friendly, which is handy if you’re road‑tripping with a furry family member, although it’s important to note that the cabins themselves remain strictly no‑pets.
All up, Experience Lancelin Holiday Park delivers that winning combination of comfortable, family‑friendly cabins, brilliant kid‑focused facilities and an unbeatable coastal location. Whether you fill your days with adventure on the dunes and in the water, or simply park yourself on the veranda while the children wear themselves out on the jumping pillow and in the pool, it’s the kind of place where both kids and adults come away feeling like they’ve truly had a break.
