Queensland is a popular region in Australia for all kinds of holiday experience, including those for the whole family. Family resorts provide affordable accommodation, often with self-catering facilities. These apartment style family resorts enable guests to save on food costs, which otherwise can consume a large part of the holiday budget. In addition to family-friendly units, these resort hotels frequently offer toddler pool, children's playground, kid's activities programme, babysitting and child-minding services. These combine to ensure the younger ones are kept happy whilst also ensuring that parents can enjoy some relaxing adult time.

For families who like to dine out, there are nearly always special menus created for children.
