Little Explorers package at Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill
The Little Explorers package at Lancemore’s Lindenderry Hotel in Red Hill really ticks all the boxes.
This isn’t just any family getaway. The whole idea behind Little Explorers is that every moment is designed with kids in mind — so they’re having the time of their lives, which means you can take a breather and enjoy a bit of peace (hello, wine by the fireplace!). Kids can get involved in outdoor games, pizza making sessions, play in the kids room, ride on the Land Rover, play in the pool for hours - oh, and they stay and eat for free!
Are you on the hunt for something a little bit different (and a whole lot of fun) to do with the kids these school holidays? Somewhere that entertains the little ones while giving you the chance to actually sit back, relax and enjoy yourself too? Well, let Mamma tell you about the Little Explorers package at Lancemore Lindenderry Red Hill — because this one really ticks all the boxes.
First off, this isn’t just any family getaway. The whole idea behind Little Explorers is that every moment is designed with kids in mind — so they’re having the time of their lives, which means you can take a breather and enjoy a bit of peace (hello, wine by the fireplace!)
So, what’s on the cards for the minis? Plenty!
They can:
- Run wild in the kids’ room (yes, a proper play space inside the hotel with toys galore, dress ups and a huge colouring table — a massive win for parents). There’s even a ride-on Land Rover, which is basically every child’s dream come true.
- Settle in for movie nights, complete with all their favourite flicks.
- Play lawn games galore — think croquet, giant Jenga, and anything else to keep those little hands busy outdoors.
- Whip up their own pizzas as part of a pizza making experience (Mamma’s tip - be sure to check with the reception first to see when it’s on).
And honestly, the little touches make it even better. Kids under 12 get to stay and eat for free, which is a total game changer for families. Plus, each child gets a special welcome pack when they arrive — activity booklets, pencils, stickers, and other goodies that will keep them entertained while you sip your coffee in peace.
It’s the kind of holiday where you don’t just survive it — you actually enjoy it. The kids feel like they’re on the ultimate adventure, and you get to soak up the beautiful surroundings of Red Hill with all the charm and comfort Lindenderry is known for.
So, if you’ve been looking for something fun, memorable, and a little bit magical for the next school holidays, Little Explorers at Lindenderry might just become your new favourite family tradition. Trust Mamma — your entire family will be talking about this one for weeks to come!

Best Friend Holiday Retreat in Tarra Valley is pure heaven for dogs, and it’s pretty spectacular for humans, too! With a range of different accommodation styles from unpowered tent sites through to deluxe cabins - all with individual fencing to keep your best friend safe and secure. Plus - all doggos are allowed inside and on furniture - infact, they MUST sleep indoors!
On site you will also find 6 HUGE fully fenced off leash play areas, loaded up with balls and ball projectors - plus one that even has giant gym balls to roll down the hills (Mamma’s not sure if the kids love this more than the doggo!).
Mamma is more a cabin kind of camper - and these cabins have everything you need - even the budget ones! Full kitchen, air con, bathroom and BBQ covered deck with spectacular views!
Right next to the site you will find a path down to the creek and waterfall. Here you can fish and even swim (if you are braver than Mamma!).
There’s also a little shop onsite to buy the essentials - and doggy treats - and the staff are so lovely and helpful.
This really is the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy the absolute serenity of the Tarra Valley!
