What Do I Need to Consider When Staying at a Child-Friendly Holiday Home?

  • Safety first! Look for babyproof gates, pool safety equipment, fire guards and hazards.
  • Get the kids excited with outdoor fun, toys, and books. Research local beaches and check suitability for push chairs and little legs to access them.
  • Easy peasy meals - check for kid-friendly menus at local cafes and restaurants and make things easier with a grocery delivery on your arrival date.
  • Plan adventures with nearby parks, playgrounds, and family-fun spots. Book outside of school holidays and peak times if you have pre-school age kids. You could bag a cheap holiday and have less crowds!
