HOTELS say they cater for children but very rarely actually do but Parramatta’s Novotel Hotel is doing special things just for kids.
Whether you’re on a stopover in Sydney, a holiday or local staycation, this Novotel provides families with a kids tent, pillows and cushions in a camping theme for kids to play safely and warmly inside your own hotel room. It’s great watching them ignite their imagination with hours of tent play with less time on screens. We need more hotels doing more of this.
Included in the bundle are other thoughtful kids treats, such as origami to challenge themselves, or – when they’ve finished folding colourful origami they can do (as my daughter did ) and use the paper to draw a extended WORLD of camping, little touches we forget children notice when we take them camping… campground signs (put rubbish here, drop toilet here, bears keep out) and the red and yellow paper ripped into tiny pieces to represent the ‘campfire’.
The hotel room treats don’t stop there, hotel staff deliver a tower of high tea sandwiches, fruit and savoury snacks to your kids along with hot chocolate or milkshakes. It’s a wonderful initiative that means you can rest, work from your hotel room or join them in the fun.
Ask for the Parra-tea service next time you’re travelling with your kids. www.novotelparramatta.com.au/special-offers/its-tea-o-clock
