Why holiday apartments win when compared to hotel accommodation for your family trip!

Luke Young • April 26, 2021

You’ve finally got the dates off work, and after saving up for months to take the family away on holidays, it’s now time to make some bookings and lock it all in! Making the right choice for your accommodation can really make or break your holiday… seems like a lot of pressure we know, but don’t fear! We’ve broken down some of the reasons holiday apartments are a great option for a family trip so you can be confident when you click “BOOK NOW.”

Live like the locals - Once your check in details are sorted, the rest is really up to you! When you stay in holiday apartments you are completely in control of your own space and your own schedule. Get to know the local area at your leisure, explore eateries, beaches, attractions and find the best coffee spots! You may even like to get to know those also staying in the complex for their tips and recommendations!
Bang for your buck - When compared to hotel accommodation our self-contained holiday apartments offer competitive value for money, particularly for families that may not fit the “2 parents, 2 kids” box. (We have a range of room types available, from 1, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, all with add on sleeping arrangements!) Also, when you are travelling as a family, it’s nice to have a self-contained apartment so you can bring your groceries and mix up eating out with eating in.
Unpack & unwind - There really is nothing worse than living on top of each other in a small space when you’re trying to relax on holidays! You want to have enough space to unpack all your bags and store them away without overcrowding your shared spaces. Not to mention, if travelling with little ones it’s always nice to have a separate room for those early nights, and the adults can still enjoy an evening on the balcony without the fear of waking them up!

The advantages of staying in self-contained holiday apartments are endless! At the Observatory Holiday Apartments, you can enjoy our modern facilities, including an outdoor shaded pool area, close access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the area and enough space inside for the whole family to really relax in. To make an enquiry about booking a stay with us, call our friendly team on 6650 0462 and lock in the holiday accommodation experience you and your family deserve!
