Of giant mice and free feeds in Bali, Qld and California: travel deals September 8, 2013

Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali

Just because you've got kids in tow doesn't mean getaways are goners. It may mean, however, you find yourself surrounded by giant mice or are lured by the promise of feeding the children for free. Here's a taste of three kid-friendly faves in Bali, Disneyland and Queensland.

GO NOW: USA

Visiting Disneyland Anaheim? Check in for three nights at the Desert Palms Hotel & Suites in Orange County, only 1km away from the action, and get the third night free. Includes breakfast and parking, until September 13. expedia.com.au/promos/usa-sale.

Hamilton Island, Queensland

GO LATER: BALI

Save up to 30 per cent on your stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali, with breakfast, internet, a massage and access to its departure lounge for late flights. Kids under 12 eat and stay free, too, until December 31. From $127.25 a night. 1803 656 888, bali.holidayinn.com.

GO SOONER: QUEENSLAND

If the kids are eating you out of house and home, book a Palm bungalow on Hamilton Island for four nights, with use of catamarans, snorkelling and windsurfing gear, and kids eat and stay free. From $679 a person, twin share. 131 398, travelscene.net.au.
