Big4 Tasman Holiday Parks - Bendigo

Misleading description of Accommodation Advertised as "a cosy cottage ( bedroom, 2 berth) a lovely option for a couple wanting the privacy of a bedroom separate from the living area" Later, when asked to upgrade, we were told it was the "budget" accommodation and what did we expect! Totally misled by the advertising website and should have known when not enough photos provided. Old shack, Shower concertina screen kept rolling back, water screeched when turning on shower taps that were touchy and hard to regulate, scorched and scoured vanity unit. Kitchen provided thick crockery, 2 pieces of each so you had to wash up each time you needed an extra plate or cup ( obviously no visitors allowed) Kitchen stove took 1/2 hour for hotplates to heat up. Would be extremely dangerous for children or anyone who wasnt aware they had been on. Bed reasonably comfortable. Stayed in Big 4 all over Victoria and this was definitely not up to standard. We did stay at Easter and the prices were much higher than normal for a substandard place. Extra facilities were great...... pooll , mini golf, gym, camp kitchen etc. More

We spent a weekend in a glamping tent. It was amazing, even if I was stuck with three kids (two weren’t mine). It was so much more than a tent. It was extremely roomy and had all the comforts of a luxury hotel. The boys loved the queen bed up in the cubby hole. The bathroom was massive and the beds comfy. A kitchen area included a small fridge and microwave oven, and a family sized dining table even though we enjoyed eating out on the front veranda. The only downside if I had to pick any was that the tent walls meant it was noisy, particularly at night and the light flooded through the walls at dawn. Very expensive though.

We have stayed at Ascot Big 4 previously in 2022 and 2023 to attend the Red Hot Summer concert and we've enjoyed the place overall. Earlier this year last February 2023 we paid $150 for a 2 night stay on a powered site in our caravan to attend the concert. A new concert has been announced for next year (February 2024) so I made a forward booking. I was shocked to see that the owners have increased the price for a 2 night stay to $398 - a massive 260% increase on 2023 pricing. I called the receptionist to see if there was a mistake however she confirmed that the owners were happy to GOUGE tourists because of the proximity to the concert! As a comparison, a booking one week before the concert for a 2 night stay in February 2024 is only $98.00 but for the concert weekend, Ascot Big 4 Caravan Park has added an additional $300. I understand businesses jack up prices for peak events but to increase it by a whopping 400% from one week to the next is extremely greedy and bad business. Very disappointed that us and 4 other caravanning families will take our booking elsewhere.

The Tasman Holiday in Bendigo is immaculately clean, located close the Bendigo Racecourse. The facilities are excellent comprising of powered and non-powered sites, some even have have their own ensuites. There are different sized cabins and new glamping tents. We are currently in a one bedroom cabin and we are impressed with the layout. The park caters for kids with an indoor play area, outdoor playground, jumping pillow and mini golf which the whole family can enjoy. There also an indoor space with video games, table tennis and a large TV. The park has free wifi too. Overall we are very impressed with the park and wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Cheers, Paul There are two camp kitchens which are again immaculately clean.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed this amazing caravan park. I loved my first stay but now with new owners there have been so many improvements. Cabins and glamping tents are so comfortable and clean there are even cabins that allow dogs. Great caravan sites including ensuite sites. Best place for a romantic stay and a family holiday or fun with friends. Give it a go, staff are so happy, helpful and friendly. Close to lots of great things Bendigo has to offer.

Phoned my booking through as we would not be there before the office closed. Texted me a code to get into a box to get the key and to get in gate. Cabin was amazing with everything needed for the 3 of us. Fairly big fridge, crockery, glasses, cooking utensils etc. Bed was very comfy and even has an electric blanket. Now the shower, amazing, so hot and powerful. And a nice touch was that when we arrived someone had even come over and put the heater on for us. All cabins seem to be so spacious. Would I stay again: yes I certainly would if back this way.
