From August through to October, cities all around Australia will come alive with fireworks, festivities, and finger-licking eats for show season! For families looking to upgrade their show-days into stay-cays, Oaks Hotels & Resorts has an impressive portfolio of two and three-bedroom apartments that are ideal for travelling tribes. Central, affordable, and self-contained apartments all perfectly positioned to get amongst the action!

ADELAIDE
Known as South Australia’s longest running and most-beloved annual family event, the Royal Adelaide Show always delivers something spectacular for event-enthusiasts. The Foodland Pavilion and ‘Night Shift’ entertainment are expected to be highlights for families of all ages, while the little ones will go nuts for The Smurfs Enchanting Village. The show’s 2018 program runs from 31 August through to 9 September.

With five South Australian properties located between the city and sea, show-goers will have the choice to stay in Adelaide’s vibrant CBD, or overlooking the bay in Glenelg. Oaks Embassy is a stone’s throw from the Adelaide Showgrounds. The spacious Two Bedroom Deluxe Apartments are ideal for families and start from as little as *$175 per night. Meanwhile, beach-lovers who opt for a coastal base can take advantage of Oaks Plaza Pier’s Two Bedroom Ocean View Apartments from *$233 per night (and are just 20 minutes from the showgrounds).

GOLD COAST
Celebrating its 112th birthday, the Gold Coast Show is set to be bigger and brighter than ever before this year, offering FREE entry for all show-goers for the first time in history! Kicking off from 31 August – 2 September, the Broadwater Parklands will be bursting with all the show favourites, including sideshow alleys, bumper-cars, thousands of sugar-filled show-bags, the LuminoCITY light displays, and breathtaking fireworks over the Broadwater at 8pm each night!

Positioned on Coolangatta’s coastline, Oaks Calypso Plaza provides families with an ideal base to make the most of a Gold Coast escape – just a short trip to the show action and city’s top family drawcards, while also being just steps from the sand and top swimming, surfing and picnicking spots! Sleeping up to six, the Two Bedroom Premier Apartment starts from *$269 per night, and with epic onsite facilities including a huge lagoon-style swimming pool with waterslide, the kids will be in their element!

MELBOURNE
A firm favourite on Melbourne’s event calendar for more than 160 years, the annual Royal Melbourne Show has evolved into one of Victoria’s most highly-anticipated family events. Kicking off on 22 September, the 11-day affair will host an action-packed itinerary, including all-day and night entertainment, food and wine tasting precincts, heart-pumping rides, traditional agriculture attractions, children’s entertainment, and much more!

With all seven of Oaks’ Melbourne properties easily accessible to the CBD’s tramlines, getting to the show has never been easier. With stunning city and park views, Oaks on William Two Bedroom Executive Apartment starts from *$277 per night, while the Cosmo Apartment at Oaks on Collins (comfortably fitting four) starts from just *$149 per night. Both properties are an easy 20-minute tram and train ride to the Melbourne Showgrounds, and conveniently close-by to other iconic family attractions, including Luna Park and Sea Life Aquarium.

Taking the showtime excitement up another notch, this month Oaks Hotels & Resorts are giving holidaymakers who book a stay arriving before 30 December the chance to *WIN 1 of 3 $500 vouchers to use at any Oaks Australian or New Zealand property!
