Company Description
With properties in some of Australia's most iconic locations, NRMA Parks & Resorts provide accommodation that suits every budget and style – from campsites to luxury resorts. From Tropical North Queensland to the remote Tasmanian wilderness, we connect holidaymakers with incredible natural destinations that offer more than a change of scenery.
Owned by the NRMA Group, we have a large team across our holiday parks, resorts and support office who love what they do, all working together to make holiday magic. Because creating unforgettable holidays is not just our job – it's in our nature.
In September 2024, NRMA Parks and Resorts will open Turtle Sands, a new nature resort on the shores of the globally significant Mon Repos turtle nesting beach near Bundaberg, Queensland. The property will be the only place on Australia's mainland where you can stay metres from one of nature's most incredible experiences: turtles nesting and hatching.
