Think you’ve seen everything there is to know about holiday parks? May we introduce you to Ingenia Holidays Wairo Beach. Rated by Escape as one of the top 13 holiday parks in Australia, you only need to cross the threshold to see why.

This holiday park nestled on the South Coast of New South Wales is packed with nostalgic reminders of yesteryear, with themed cabins built around a historic-themed street.

Instead of the usual brick amenity buildings, you might be used to in holiday parks, at Ingenia Holidays Wairo Beach, you’ll find facilities inside set-like buildings that depict a Cobb & Co coach office, pub, general store and petrol station.

When you’re not enjoying what’s on offer within the park’s footprint, step outside its surrounds onto Wairo Beach, the five-kilometre-long stretch of sand which connects Lagoon Head in the north to Lake Tabourie in the south.

Swimming costumes are packing essentials all year round for this holiday park, between the surf waves of Wairo Beach, the resort-style pool or kayaking nearby to be done.
