Amaroo Holiday Park

Amaroo Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent
"We only needed somewhere for a night and the price was great. The guy at reception was friendly and he upgraded our cabin. The cabin was really nice. We did not expect much for the price we paid but were surprised at how good the place was. Electric blanket was another win for a winter night. So close to the shops or walk to the beach. Will definitely be locking this place in if we are back this way in the future."

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay at this resort. We came on a rainy week, so there were some limitations - but the pool, sauna and hot tub were enjoyed by my family. The cabin/villa itself was very clean, with all the necessary amenities - including laundry, which was very helpful. We would like to come back again and stay longer."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Smiths Beach is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers looking for affordable accommodation in Smiths Beach, focusing on areas slightly inland from the immediate beachfront can often yield better value. While Smiths Beach itself is a relatively compact coastal village, surrounding areas like Cowes or even further afield towards San Remo offer more diverse and competitive lodging options.Smiths Beach has a limited number of hotels, so expanding your search to nearby Cowes is often the most practical approach for finding more affordable rooms. Cowes, being the main town on Phillip Island, has a greater selection of guesthouses, motels, and holiday park cabins that cater to a wider range of budgets. From Cowes, you can easily access Smiths Beach by local bus services or a short drive.Alternatively, consider San Remo, located just off Phillip Island on the mainland.
