fuel-up on novotel northbeach's "gone bananas" package

14 August 2006 If the rising costs of petrol, bananas and interest rates have been eating into your family's budget, then Novotel Northbeach's 'Gone Bananas" package might be precisely the prescription needed for an affordable holiday getaway.

Novotel Northbeach's 'Gone Bananas' package includes overnight accommodation, full buffet breakfast for two adults and two children, late checkout and free parking plus free bananas for the whole family on check-in and a free $20 voucher towards your petrol - all for just $199 per room per night.

Novotel Northbeach is located on the beach in thriving Wollongong. Surrounded by 17 of the cleanest surf beaches in the state, as well as Lake Illawarra and breathtaking rainforest, it is just an hour's drive from Sydney and 2.5 hours from Canberra.

Families will have plenty of activities on offer, including surf lessons, scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, mountain-biking, go-karting, horse-riding, golf and more. For the more adventurous, a tandem parachute jump, scenic flight, hanglide or abseil off Stanwell Tops might just be the trick.

Jamberoo Park, with its numerous attractions and rides - is only 30 minutes from the hotel, and bushwalking, picnics, relaxation at the Nan Tien Temple or exploring the hidden history of Mount Kembla Village add an immediate air of relaxation to any holiday.

Back at the Novotel, a supervised kids club is available during school holidays with a broad range of kids activities changing daily, with mini-Olympics and beach adventures, cooking classes and in-house entertainment.

The Novotel's extensive recreation facilities include an outdoor pool, gym, sauna, spa, full-size tennis court and for mum and dad, lively bars and restaurants, Treasure Cove Gaming Lounge and boutiques.
