If you’re dreaming of long, relaxing days by the sea — without the stress of high accommodation costs — look no further than BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park in charming Harrington, NSW. Whether you’re a retiree craving slow mornings watching the sunrise, a long-stay holiday maker chasing coastal adventures, or a worker needing sensible weekly rates while on assignment, this coastal haven offers unbeatable value and comfort for extended stays.
A Budget-Friendly Base for Your Extended Escape
One of the biggest draws of BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park is its weekly specials on both caravan sites and cabins — designed specifically for guests staying a week or longer. If you want to stretch your dollar without compromising on quality, these deals are what make extended stays genuinely affordable. From powered caravan sites with plenty of space and facilities, to a range of cosy cabins from economy to executive styles, there’s an option to suit every budget and travel style.
For caravanners and campers, the park’s “Site Weekley Special!” rate is one of the most cost-effective ways to enjoy seaside life — stay 7 nights or more and benefit from specially discounted weekly site pricing that makes every day of your holiday count without a hefty nightly bill.
Meanwhile, travellers who prefer a cabin can take advantage of the “Weekly Cabin Special” — discounted rates on all cabin types when you book stays from 7 up to 28 nights. Whether you’re after a simple studio, a roomy two-bedroom cabin or even an Executive Villa with full kitchen and private BBQ facilities, these weekly deals ensure you feel at home for less.
Comfortable Stays Without the Price Tag
What makes this park special isn’t just the competitive rates — it’s the quality and range of accommodation you get for your money.
Caravan and Powered Sites:
• Spacious powered slabs to suit caravans, campervans and RVs
• Fresh water taps and grey water disposal on site
• Drive-through options for larger rigs
• Pet friendly so your four-legged family members can come too
These sites offer space, convenience and good value for those who love the freedom of life on wheels — but still want a comfortable home base to return to each night.
Cabin Accommodation:
• Economy and standard studio cabins — perfect for solo travellers or couples
• Two-bedroom cabins — great for families or friends
• Executive Villas — with full kitchen, dishwasher, private BBQ and more
All cabins come with bathroom facilities and kitchenettes/kitchens, meaning longer stays feel easy and comfortable — like your own mini apartment by the beach. And the weekly pricing means you don’t get hit with high nightly costs for every night you stay.
Ideal for Extended Holiday Makers
For holiday makers who love to immerse themselves in a region’s lifestyle — rather than just tick off a short visit — BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park shines. Harrington is a quiet seaside village where you can master the art of slow living: morning coffee overlooking the river, afternoons exploring Crowdy Bay National Park, and evenings around the BBQ with new friends. With weekly rates that make staying longer genuinely affordable, you can swap rushed itineraries for relaxed days and still stick to your travel budget.
Retirees in particular find this park suits a slower pace of life. With many long-stay guests enjoying extended breaks from routine, the serene location and community feel give you the freedom to settle in without the commitment or expense of more traditional accommodation. And because the weekly deals cover stays up to 28 nights, you can practically treat it as a monthly escape — without the monthly price tag.
Affordable Work-Away Options
Not all extended stays are for leisure — and that’s where BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park’s weekly rates really shine for workers on assignment or in the region for projects. Whether you’re a contractor, seasonal worker, or on temporary location work, having a comfortable, budget-friendly place to call “home base” makes life easier.
Instead of booking expensive hotels for weeks at a time, setting up a powered site or cabin here at a discounted weekly rate means more money stays in your pocket. The simple comforts — clean facilities, kitchen options in cabins, and space to park and live — give you much of the convenience of longer-term accommodation without the locked-in contracts or high costs.
More Than Just a Place to Sleep
Value for money isn’t just about price — it’s about what you get.
Community and Park Facilities:
• Spacious BBQ areas and shared spaces — perfect for relaxing or socialising
• Clean amenities and modern camp kitchen
• Pool and spa — ideal for lazy afternoons
• Games room and Camp Kitchen for weather-proof fun
• Pet-friendly areas so you don’t have to leave your furry friends behind
These extras help make an extended stay feel like a true holiday — even if you’re staying for weeks. The park’s relaxed vibe and welcoming community atmosphere mean retirees, travellers and workers alike can enjoy genuine comfort without the resort price tag.
Tips for Securing the Best Weekly Rates
To make the most of these affordable weekly rates:
- Book Early: Weekly deals are popular, especially in spring, autumn and outside peak holiday periods. Book early to ensure your favourite site or cabin is available!
- Consider Mid-Season Stays: The weekly specials are year round but for a quieter more relaxing escape, think outside the box!
- Choose Your Cabin Style Wisely: Studio and economy cabins can be particularly budget-friendly — perfect for solo and couple travellers but the Villa’s do come with your own private Weber BBQ so you’re able to really soak up holiday mode!
- Stay Flexible: By looking at extended stays you often unlock better savings.
A Stretch in Time, a Stretch in Sunsets
There’s something special about waking up in a peaceful coastal community without the ticking clock of a strict itinerary. Whether you are chasing sandy beaches, peaceful river views, village cafes, or a comfortable base for work, BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park offers a rare blend of value, comfort and convenience — all at weekly rates that make extended stays truly accessible.
