Claire Height, owner, BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens Holiday Park.
I have owned the leasehold to BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens since 2008, and I am very fortunate and proud to be associated with such a beautiful place that gives happiness to so many people.
The first time I saw the park I knew it could be very special. The fact that it adjoins Castlemaine's beautiful Botanical Gardens and an important wildlife reserve makes it truly unique. There is a peace and calm that embraces our guests and enhances the holiday magic.
My vision has always been to develop the park to create a tranquil, landscaped oasis that offers outstanding modern accommodation and facilities as well as the traditional holiday park experience. The guest experience means everything to me, and so I have worked hard to ensure the park is an environment where guests can truly relax and create the very best holiday memories, enjoying the park's beauty as well as everything the town of Castlemaine and surrounding region offers.
BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens acknowledges the Dja Dja Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation who are the Traditional Custodians of this land on which we work. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We recognise their continuous relationship to the land and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
