BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Queenscliff Beacon

BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Queenscliff Beacon is a large family holiday park at 78 Bellarine Highway, Queenscliff, with cabins, powered sites and a long list of facilities including a jumping pillow, games room, indoor pool and go-karts. Dogs are welcome, but only in named accommodation and only under firm park rules, so it pays to know the setup before you book.

Dogs at BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Queenscliff Beacon

Pets are allowed only in the 3 Bedroom Queenscliff Cabins, the Swan Bay Studio Cabins and on powered camping sites; every other villa and beach house is pet-free. A pet fee of $15 per night applies, dogs must be council registered and checked in at reception, and all pets must be listed on the booking. Bring your own dog bedding, since pets are not permitted on beds or furniture. Outside your cabin or site the leash stays on, walks go along the park roadways, and dogs are strictly prohibited from communal areas including amenity blocks, camp kitchens, pools, splash parks and playgrounds. They cannot be left unattended, and excessive barking or aggression can mean departure without a refund.

Max: The communal zones are dog-free, so plan who stays back with the dog while the rest of the family hits the pool. A dog that settles in a crate makes those splits easy.

The vibe

This is a resort-style park built for families, well reviewed at 4.6 across a large review base. Pet-friendly cabins and sites let you join the holiday-park experience while keeping the dog out of the facility zones, and pet-friendly spots book out quickly in peak periods, so reserve early.

Getting there and parking

The park sits on the Bellarine Highway on the way into Queenscliff, an easy run from Geelong via the Bellarine Peninsula, with on-site parking at your cabin or site. Queenscliff township, Swan Bay and the ferry terminal are all close by.
