Welcome to the inaugural 2007 TakeABreak Awards – to find the best holiday accommodation across Australia and reward them for their fantastic work.

Congratulations to our national and  state award winners.

At TakeABreak we see so many great places to holiday, we decided to award the best of the best. We know that all of the holiday operators who list with us work extremely hard to provide great experiences for visitors, and this is our way of saying thank you.

The best part of these awards is that the results are determined by guests who have actually stayed at each property. TakeABreak evaluated each holiday property based on a range of criteria including comments, ratings and reviews by actual guests who've visited the accommodation. This means the awards will go to the properties where guests have the best experiences and get the best service.

State finalists were announced in our October Holiday Inspirations Newsletter, and listed on this site. State winners were announced in November Holiday Inspirations Newsletter and go into the running for the National Award which will be announced in December.
