Tiona Holiday Park

Where the Lake Meets the Sea

Discover the unique beauty of Tiona Holiday Park, perfectly nestled between the pristine white sands of Seven Mile Beach and the palm-studded shores of Wallis Lake in the Pacific Palms region. This stunning holiday destination offers the rare luxury of dual water frontage, providing guests with the best of both worlds: the rolling surf of the ocean on one side and the tranquil, sunset-lit waters of the lake on the other. It is a nature lover’s paradise where the bush meets the sea, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Tiona Holiday Park is steeped in history and natural wonder. It is home to the famous “Green Cathedral,” an open-air timber church featuring pews made of logs and a canopy of lush rainforest, which serves as a spiritual centre and a popular venue for weddings and events. The park itself is expansive, offering a diverse range of accommodation to suit every style of traveller. Campers can choose from a variety of powered and unpowered sites, nestled amongst cabbage tree palms and towering gums. For those seeking modern comforts, the park offers a selection of cabins, ranging from classic beachside cottages to contemporary deluxe cabins and the larger, group-friendly Tiona Lodge.

The facilities at Tiona are designed to complement the natural environment while ensuring a comfortable stay. The park features a resort-style swimming pool, perfect for a refreshing dip after a day at the beach. Guests have access to a camp kitchen, BBQ areas for alfresco dining, and clean amenities blocks. The lake side of the park is ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, with calm waters that are safe for children. Across the road, Seven Mile Beach offers miles of unspoiled coastline for surfing, beach fishing, and long, peaceful walks.

Located just minutes from the vibrant villages of Blueys Beach and Boomerang Beach, Tiona Holiday Park is the perfect base for exploring the Barrington Coast. Whether you are climbing the Booti Hill walking track, enjoying a meal at a local cafe, or simply relaxing by the campfire (seasonal) watching the stars, Tiona offers a truly memorable holiday experience that celebrates the raw beauty of the Australian coast.
