It’s long been recognised as one of the most kid-friendly resorts in Australia, but there’s also plenty for parents at Tasman Holiday Parks – North Star.
Seascape adults’ retreat with day spa
The resort, at Hastings Point on the NSW Tweed Coast, has an outstanding adults’ retreat, Seascape. The decor reflects the resort’s beachside location, with natural timbers and tones and a cool coastal palette.
While the kids are being entertained at Neptune’s Castle Kids Club, mum and dad can make the most of the leisure centre’s day spa, hair and beauty salon, heated pool, gym, spas and sauna.
Fun for kids at Tasman Holiday Parks – North Star
As well as its giant two-level water park, Sammy’s Adventure Lagoon, the resort has an outdoor playground, a games room with pool tables, an air hockey table, table tennis, pinball machines and arcade games, and a tennis court.
Little Treasures play corner is a fun and entertaining area, for children aged up to three-years-old, that features a colourful ocean mural, toys and climbing equipment especially designed for toddlers.
Fantastic family accommodation and amenities
