Meet the reviewing family for BIG4 Ocean Beach …
Virginie and her family (Mum, Dad and 3 very busy little boys) are so excited about their weekend at the BIG4 Ocean Beach.
With their youngest son just a year old, it’s been a while since they’ve been away so the call of swimming pools purpose built for kids of all ages, Kidz Korner, jumping pillows and a cafe by the pool has Virginie super excited about getting away.
When it comes to a cabin holiday, Virginie says it ticks every box!
We stayed here a couple of weeks ago for a big family holiday with brothers, sisters, mother and father and children. We stayed in the safari tents and must say I was a bit apprehensive about it, but once I saw them I was so impressed!! The tents were clean, spacious, the shower was amazing and it was overall a great experience, the kids loved the feeling of camping and loved the wildlife running around and coming up to you. The staff at the park were fantastic, so friendly! The kids loved the park, jumping pillow, splash away bay. Unfortunately we didn’t get to try the water slide and pools, but it didn’t matter as there were so much to do! We went to the markets at ettalong on Saturday, went ice skating at Erina, but to be honest you don’t even need to leave the park as there is so much to do there! Our family will definitely be back, but for longer this time! I tried to upload a photo of the safari tents and park but it kept saying invalid referer!
Suitability of the cabin holiday as an overall holiday experience
A highly enjoyable holiday experience for children of all ages

We didnt get pick to review this however Me and my four children having been going to Umina Ocean Beach for a couple of years now and we love it. My childrens ages vary from 18-5 and there is something for all of us. They loved the new water park feature that was added in November, the pool is a great hit. But best of all is the program of activities that are there for the children and a great way for families to bond together.
We will be going back year after year

We did not got picked to review the NRMA Ocean Beach Holiday Park but we visited earlier this year.
We got there early in the morning to do some sight seeing after a very trouble free drive from Sydney and got a very nice welcome from the staff here with a welcome pack full of ideas on how to spend our weekend.
After settling in in out Seabreeze townhouse, we loved it. It was clean and comfortable to stay for the whole family. I will definitely recommend everyone to give this place a try. My kids loved every minute of the trip

We stayed three days here and I would say this holiday park is for families. The beach, pool and cabin was good. Indeed it was quite place to stay, no shouting or drunken people. But you should be careful cleaners. I left my necklace in a cabin when I checked it out. I realized hlaf an hour later and rang the office but they told me the cabin was already cleaned and there was nothing left. It was only 30 minutes after checkout and my necklace has gone. Of course I acknowledge that it is all my fault but no one can access the cabin except cleaners. So here is advice. Don’t leave your valualbe things in the room whether you are near there or not.
Finally after 2 days at a new job and after over 1 year of maternity leave, I am awake long enough to write this final review.
I cannot thank Mouth Of Mums enough for picking us to review the NRMA Ocean Beach Holiday Park, we all had such a fantastic time!
The staff were all very lovely, helpful and made us feel like royalty the whole weekend. The kids got to have fabulous times on the go karts, learning to surf and in the games room. And we all, as family, made great memories on our first getaway as a family of 5 at the beach, pools and making the most of everything the Park has to offer.
The cabin was lovely, had all the amenities we needed and more including a spa bath which the boys made the most of! It was very nicely laid out and located straight across from the beach.
We tried to book in for this Christmas as my mum is coming from overseas but unfortunately everything is already booked out…which goes to show yet again how amazing this place is.
I could not recommend it enough and we will definitely going back at least for a weekend or during school holidays next year!
More photos will be posted in the next couple of days.

After a morning filled with go karts, jumping pillows and pools, we are heading home!
Wish we could have stayed longer!
Will post our final review once we’re home.
After lunch today, we headed to the pools…there are 2 pools: a toddler one with big mushroom fountains and the main pool with a slippery dip and cascade. We all had a great time and even Thomas tried the slippery dip with his big brothers!
I then went with the 2 older boys to the local Surf Life Saving Club located just a couple of minutes down the road for their surf lesson. They had a blast in small and bigger waves and I have already been asked to add a surfboard to the Christmas list.
After another run on the jumping pillows, we headed into town and got some very delicious and copious take away noodles as recommended by the staff here.
It is now not even 10pm and everyone, except from me, is in bed and asleep looking forward to enjoying more of everything this holiday park has to offer before heading home after a late check out.
I even managed to do a load of washing tonight which is now in the dryer ( all in our cabin and so convenient) which saves me having to do it when we get home tomorrow afternoon. This cabin really has everything we need in terms of amenities and we are located right across from the beach.
We went to the beach this morning, it is such a beautiful day! The boys had a great time playing in the water and on the sand. They then headed off to get their go karts while bub has his morning nap, they were very impressed by how fast they could go and had a blast going around the park!
They are now on the jumping pillows while we wait for bub to wake up so we can head off to the pools before lunch.
We got some meat from Woolworth in town yesterday so looking forward to a BBQ in this perfect weather.
After dragging the kids from the pool last night, we got 2 pizzas and chips from the Bluebottle cafe onsite.
The food was delicious and was gone in no time!
We are all very excited about everything we have planned for today! Will keep you updated throughout the day!
We are the lucky family that got picked to review the NRMA Ocean Beach Holiday Park!
We got here this afternoon after a very trouble free drive from Sydney and got a very nice welcome from the staff here with a welcome pack full of ideas on how to spend our weekend.
After settling in in out Seabreeze townhouse, we got to tour the park with the lovely Emma and booked in for the 2 older boys to do surf lessons tomorrow afternoon. With already 2 sessions on the jumping pillows and the playground, we are heading off to the pools for a swim and to pick up some dinner at the cafe.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Banana Boat to bring you this article.
Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
