Australian capital cities are full of exciting attractions this summer, and will be a mecca for families. Medina Serviced Apartments are offering special packages and facilities to make kids of all ages feel at home, while their parents can enjoy a luxury break.

Australia's leading owner and operator of serviced apartments, Medina Serviced Apartments has launched its special family summer packages starting from just $43 per person a night (based on a family of 4 in a 2 bedroom apartment), including luxury accommodation in a spacious apartment, continental breakfast for each person (free parking also available at most Medina properties).

This Medina package is designed with inclusions to help make a family�s holiday the highlight of the year, with features such as a fully equipped �kids toy chest�, use of pool playtime toys and a host of other inclusions.

On booking in, parents are presented with a deluxe kid�s toy chest, filled to the brim with the most entertaining toys and games including leggo, latest chart kids CD�s, books and toys - designed to entertain them for many hours and save luggage space in cars.

Parents can easily prepare a snack or meal in the fully equipped kitchen or order and eat in, rather than going to a restaurant. Medina�s specially designed pantry service allows guests to pre-order grocery items for the whole family.

Medina�s apartments are designed to provide parents with privacy and kids with loads of space to entertain themselves. Apartments include two bathrooms for parents and kids, free to air and Pay TV televisions in both the bedroom and living areas. CD players & data points for those teenagers who cannot live without their computers are also available at most properties.

Medina offer a range of apartments for parents to choose from including studio, one, two and three bedrooms so there is no need to share a room with the kids. Apartments are also serviced daily so parents can take a break from tidying up after the children.
