Roxburgh Park Hotel

Last updated April 2026

The Roxburgh Park Hotel in Coolaroo is a hidden gem for Melbourne families craving a relaxed meal with plenty of space for kids to move around. With a dedicated family dining area and a menu that actually appeals to little ones, it’s the kind of place where parents can unwind while the kids are happily entertained. The outdoor area has room to run, and the staff are used to families, making it a low-stress option for busy weeks. It’s not just a meal—it’s a chance for the whole family to recharge together. Perfect for those spontaneous school holiday activities in Melbourne when you need a break from the usual routines. \n\n**What to Bring**\nComfortable clothes for active kids. A small toy or colouring book for the table. Sunscreen if sitting outside. A spare change of clothes—just in case. Coins for the parking meter if you're driving. **Best Age Range**\nBest for 2–10 year olds. Toddlers will love the space to explore without tight corners. **Good to Know**\nWeekday lunches are quieter. Weekends can get busy, so arrive early or late. No bookings required for casual dining. Check their social media for family events and themed nights—sometimes they host kids’ activities that aren’t widely advertised. **Nearby**\nThe playground at Barry Road Park in Coolaroo is just a 5-minute drive away. For a longer outing, the Hume Global Learning Centre in Craigieburn has a fantastic kids’ zone and is only 10 minutes by car. **Tips From Other Parents**\nGo during the 3–5pm lull to avoid the rush. The kids’ menu is simple and filling—no fuss for picky eaters. If you’re staying for a while, the hotel’s proximity to the Hume Highway makes it an easy stop on the way out of town."
