family holidays in Australia

Please find below a selection of our favourite properties in Australia  that we believe are perfect for families. For more information about Australia and the full collection of properties we recommend click here.

Australia is like nowhere else on earth. A place where the world's largest island and the world's smallest continent, superlatives and expectations collide, where an ancient past is inseparable from the modern present with hyper-sophisticated cities rise glittering into the clear blue of the Antipodean sky.

Australia holidays with Abercrombie & Kent get you closer to the people and places that make this fascinating country special.
