  • There was so much to see in the local area without it feeling too touristy. Another staff suggestion was visiting the lighthouse.


  • Did I mention how much fun the game room was? I loved that it was specifically for kids under 130cm and 6 years old.


  • Plenty to see and do on the Bellarine Peninsula. Mini golf just up the road - a great suggestion from the staff at Big 4.


  • Bounce bounce bounce - the pillows were a huge hit!


  • Plenty of things to play on at Big 4


  • Checking out the local sites with my daughter - Point Londsdale pier.


  • Swimming pool!


  • Enjoying an ice cream from the onsite shop (with very reasonable prices)


  • Climbing wall


  • The ballpit in the play room


  • Queenscliff


  • Big4 Tweed Heads

    While I didn't get chosen to review these caravan parks today I went to Big 4 Tweed Heads Biillabong Caravan Park as we have family staying there. Although I was only there for a few hours I enjoyed the barbecue facilities & had a swim in the river where there is a bouncing trampoline in middle of river. You can take out paddle boats, hire bikes, fish, there are secure playground areas for children, a tv room & cabins to camp in if you'd rather that than a tent with separate ensuites that provide a toilet,basin & shower. The park itself was child friendly, clean & safe. I would highly recommend this for young families.

  • Home again

    Sadly we are home again after an amazing weekend away.

    We really enjoyed every aspect of Big 4 Queenscliff and the kids would have happily stayed longer.

    The playroom and pool were highlights for the kids, and we also enjoyed exploring the local area taking in a few beaches, lighthouses, mini golf, amazing burgers and the local lolly shop!

    All the staff we encountered on our stay were warm and helpful, they were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable.

    The relaxed environment of Big 4 Queenscliff was ideal for our family, and I would suggest for most families, especially with younger children. There was plenty to do and no pressure to be perfectly quiet. The kitchen, laundry and BBQ's would make for an excellent time away for longer than a weekend too.

    I would absolutely recommend a stay at Big 4 in Queenscliff and hope our family will return again soon.

  • We are staying in the Curlewis villa. It has three bedrooms. The master has a king bed and ensuite, the second bedroom has a queen and the option of two additional bunks and the third has two singles. The second and third bedrooms are joined by a jack and Jill bathroom.

    The main living area is large with a fully equipped kitchen.

    The accommodation is very modern and has some nice touches like flat screen tv's mounted in all the rooms and a fireplace in the living room.

    There is a washing machine and dryer too.

    The rooms are very clean however the ensuite shower is mouldy.

    The other thing families might want to consider is that there is no bath so bathing babies would be a challenge. There is also no free wifi which may be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it!


  • Amenities

    Big 4 have really done a good job with their amenities!

    There is heated indoor pool, jumping pillows, under 6 indoor game room, older kids games including this crazy electronic thing that Tweens and teens would love, tennis and the list goes on.

    There are also outdoor BBQ areas, plenty of space to run around.

    The on site shop which opens at 8am might be my favouite feature... This Mum needs her morning espresso!

    The kids love the game room and pool and are sure to sleep well tonight!


  • First impressions

    Our first impressions on arrival at Big 4 in Queenscliff were great. The check-in staff were happy to see us and gave us everything we needed to get settled in.

    We quickly unloaded and the kids first priority was finding the jumping pillows! They loved them and it was a great way to get the sillies out after the long drive.

    My husband headed back to reception to ask for some suggestions for dinner and we were given several options and a map.

    Dinner was great and with the kids all tired out they happily collapsed into bed.

    More reviews to come including a room review and an amenities review.

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
