This has to be one of the best weekend getaways for families. Just an hour and a half drive from Perth, Lancelin Holiday Park has got it all.
The holiday park’s eight modern cabins are well-appointed with everything you need for your stay. There are large flat screen TVs in the lounge and main bedroom, with a huge corner sofa (no sweaty pleather in sight!) to fit the whole family, along with reverse cycle air conditioning.
The two-bedroom cabins include a king-size bed in the main bedroom with enough space to fit a portacot. The second bedroom has three single beds, with a sixth bed available on request. As a self-confessed bed snob, I can confirm the mattress, linen and pillows are all very clean and comfy!
Extra features like free Wi-Fi, a music system and Lavazza coffee maker (with complimentary capsules) made it feel like a home from home.
An absolute standout feature of the cabins is their position right opposite the holiday park’s giant jumping pillow, playground and lawns.
It meant us parents could relax on the balcony while watching the kids happily play all afternoon.
The cabins are also a short walk to the massive indoor heated pool and spa, perfect for keeping the kids entertained in any weather.
We loved the recent addition of the On Point Coffee van, right next to the cabins, which serves proper coffee and jaffles (that’s an Australian closed toasted sandwich) from 6.30am. Special mention goes to the Nutella and marshmallow jaffle which was a huge hit with the kids.
The holiday park’s brilliant location right on the coast means you can be on the beach (with coffee in hand) within minutes for fishing, swimming or a wander along this beautiful stretch of coastline.
You can also follow the beach path for an easy walk to the Hole in the Van. We spent a morning lazing on bean bags, trying out for their delicious icy poles, smoothies, milkshakes, coffees and treats.
The holiday park has such a relaxed atmosphere and shared paths making it easy for kids to explore the site on bikes, trikes or scooters.
An activity room with a ping pong table, games, TV with a Nintendo console, plus a chalkboard provides some indoor fun for kids. Our kids also loved the holiday activities, like slime making, guided by the staff.
While furry friends are welcome to come on holiday within the campsite (on application), Lancelin Holiday Park has a no pets policy for the cabins.
While in Lancelin, why not try out sandboarding Lancelin’s famous white dunes or grab lunch and an afternoon drink overlooking the ocean at Endeavour Tavern’s huge beer garden. You can also drop a line or squid jig off the jetty taking in the beautiful Lancelin sunset.
We had such a fun and relaxing stay at Lancelin Holiday Park. It’s definitely a favourite with both kids and adults!
