Might sound mad but for Christmas we had a "staycation" in Melbourne city. It was so much cheaper without the flights and taxis and I hate the hassle of flying with a baby. We stayed at a gorgeous serviced apartment, we did all that stuff like the aquaruim, southbank, docklands, there's the Monkey Mania play centre, acmi etc. We organised a babysitter through the hotel and just went out like adults! It was so relaxing even though we only lived 20 minutes away, we didn't have to cook or clean or deal with everything you have to deal with at home.
My criteria for a toddler-friendly holiday is, well ... swimming pool.
We've stayed at the Big4 holiday park in Queenscliff (indoor heated swimming pool) which was great though it depends on how close you want to be from the town centre.
We've also stayed at the big place in Lorne that used to be pink but isn't any more. Also very good as was the pub across the road for meals.
Next weekend we're going to The Esplanade in Lakes Entrance - has two pools and a spa. Hoping to fit in a pedicure.
