Ashmore Palms Holiday Village - Gold Coast

Family holiday park with Australia's largest collection of Macaw parrots

Amenities & Facilities

Ashmore Palms Holiday Village offers two lagoon swimming pools, one heated year-round for winter stays. The on-site sports court, tennis court, and children's playground provide outdoor recreation without leaving the park. Covered BBQ areas and a well-stocked minimarket (open until 7pm) add convenience for self-catering families.

Accommodations

Guests choose from self-contained cabins named Premium Palm, Rainforest Retreat, Macaw Mansion, and Tropical Family Villa. Each cabin includes air-conditioning, a full kitchen, private bathroom, and parking right beside the unit. The variety ranges from budget-friendly cottages to larger villas suited for groups and corporate long-term stays.

Location & Nearby Attractions

Ashmore Palms Gold Coast is a 10-minute drive from Surfers Paradise and 15 minutes from Movie World, Dreamworld, Wet'n'Wild, and Sea World. Shopping centers, restaurants, and public transport are within easy reach, yet the park sits in a quiet landscaped setting away from the city noise. For beach days, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a 30-minute drive south.

Children's Activities

Free daily activities run by Miss Kellie include face painting, balloon making, circus afternoons, kids' discos, and swimming with a mermaid. The XPlay indoor-style play area and outdoor playground keep younger children busy, while the sports court offers tennis and pickleball. The heated lagoon pool stays warm enough for kids to play even in winter.

The Macaw Parrots

Ashmore Palms Holiday Park houses Australia's largest collection of exotic South American Macaw parrots, spread across several aviaries. Bird keepers share each parrot's name and traits during morning care routines, and guests can request a free family selfie photo with the birds. The parrots' colorful presence and vocal greetings make them a standout attraction for all ages.
