Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a holiday park and a pub motel in this region?+
Holiday parks offer caravan and cabin sites with shared amenities like pools and laundries, suited to longer stays and families. Pub motels are traditional room-based accommodation attached to a bar, better for shorter stays and those wanting casual dining and social space onsite.
Which suburbs listed are actually beachside?+
Byron Bay, Lennox Head and Suffolk Park have direct or very close beach access. Mullumbimby and Bangalow are inland villages, suited to those exploring the hinterland or wanting a quieter base away from coastal crowds.
Are these venues pet-friendly?+
The supplied information doesn't confirm pet policies for these venues. You'll need to contact each directly to check.
Do any of these parks offer cabins or just caravan sites?+
Most caravan parks typically offer both, but the specific accommodation types available at each venue aren't detailed in the source information. Contact venues directly for cabin availability and pricing.
What does the spotScore mean?+
SpotScore rates venues on relevance and usefulness to the directory. Higher scores suggest stronger matches for the category, though all listed venues are legitimate options in the 'Where to Stay' category.
