PARKLEA GARDEN VILLAGE

Reporter: FELICITY URQUHART

Felicity’s hitching up the caravan and hitting the road! Parklea Garden Village is a great place for a family getaway AND there are heaps of cool activities to keep the kids amused.

Geist Caravan
The Geist Caravan is on offer as part of the Supershow Passport at this year’s NSW Caravan, Camping, 4WD and Holiday Supershow. With Aparo upholstery, ideal bunks for kids, bathroom, easy to use controls, significant storage space, dinette and much more, the Geist caravan is definitely one to try and win at this year’s Supershow.

To ensure that the winner gets exactly the caravan that best suits their lifestyle, Geist is generously allowing the winner to choose from either a GEIST AK495 5 BERTH VAN or AK450 4 BERTH VAN – depending on the make-up of the family.

The Geist Aktiv range is perfect for families and couples who enjoy an Aktiv lifestyle and are looking for an exciting and memorable holiday.

Both vans feature panoramic front windows, two different upholstery colours and advanced construction techniques. Standard features include double glazed windows, anti-sway hitch, extra thick 100 micron aluminium sides and 5 year water ingress warranty.

Standard inclusions such as spinflo tripex gas cooker and grill, flyscreens and blinds, 3 way refrigerators and air conditioning make for an enjoyable fun filled holiday with all the luxury of home away from home. An unrivalled level of build and quality comes as standard in every Geist caravan.

The Aktiv range, designed for family living are all created with precise German engineering and quality combined with unique Australian styling, offering customers great choices for dining, sleeping and relaxing during travel.

Parklea Garden Village
Parklea Garden Village is ideally located on the ring roads of the new M7 and M2, allowing easy access to those traveling through Sydney looking for easy access accommodation.

The park has a wide range of sites ideal for the touring adventurer looking for a quiet, friendly home away from home atmosphere with excellent facilities – including ensuite and powered sites, camp kitchens, fully-covered outdoor barbeques, a convenience store, daily papers, onsite hairdresser, library and an all-year-round new pool and heated spa complex.

You can relax in the lounge area, complete with TV, video, fireplace and Internet and a range of games to enjoy. Amenities are large, clean and easily accessible

The facilities at Parklea Village are amazing, from the new outdoor giant swimming pool and heated spa to the games room, the lounge with fireplace, hairdresser, onsite library and electric barbeque areas.

Or for something really different, visit the aviary on Saturday morning and feed the native birds. Or stop by and have a chat with the parrots and the cockatoos – they’d love a bickie while you’re at it!

Take part in the possum feeding program. Rescued possums are looked after and cared for until they’re strong enough to go back out in the wild. And at Parklea Garden Village you can help – possum feeding is done nightly.

Or drop into Parklea Markets and spend the weekend looking for bargains.
