Best Accommodation for large family.

[Guest]

Hi All

We're planning an extended family trip, for fifteen. 6 adults, 9 children.
I'm not sure how feasible it is that we find a villa for all of us - although that is our first choice.

Does anyone know the largest number of bedrooms we are likely to find for a local villa? The most I have seen so far, is 7...

Any other recommendations for accommodation for a large group?

Hi, welcome to the Dibb . There are large villas out there that could house all of you, depends what you want and what you mean by "local". Obviously as some of you will be sharing a bedroom 7 BRs may actually be large enough, it depends how the families are divided up. Try searching on Google, maybe consider 2 villas next to or not too far from each other in the same resort. Personally, for having some private space and plenty loos/bathrooms/lounge/dining space, I would consider renting 2 villas. Hope you find something.

A 7 bedroom villa is about the largest you will find but some can sleep up to 16 there is one on the dibb.

Your other option would be to rent 2 villas on the same community
there are several owners here on the dibb that have villas in the same communities.

We are staying in a 7 bed villa next April and it sleeps 15 comfortably.

As Steve has said the biggest villa on the Dibb is 7 bed. Your other alternative is to put a request in the villa rentals section and look for 2 villas very close on the same community.

Thanks guys.

The villa on the Dibb is BEAUTIFUL - and I could definitely have imagined our family filling it Unfortunately its already booked out for our holiday dates - so the search continues!

I think we could comfortably stay in a 7 bed - providing the configuration was right (number of doubles vs. twin rooms). I do quite like the idea of two smaller villas though. My nearest and dearest may not feel like my nearest and dearest with three weeks on top of one another ;-)

For now, I'll enjoy researching. I'm sure there will be many properties already booking up for next Summer!

I would try 2 villas nearby
Tho many of the bigger villas have a good bathroom ratio i always think of the kitchen ...however big I feel that could get really congested in the mornings... 15 toast and coffeees... ?

I think I'd be tempted to go with 2 villas as well. Thats a lot of people in one house.

I would also go for 2 villas. I know of people who have gone out best of friends and come back not talking You need your own space

Welcome and happy dibbing

My advice would be to rent 2 villas there are plenty of communities with more than 1 DIBB villa on them in fact the home 2 doors up from ours is a recent new addition to the DIBB villa rentals. Gives more breathing space and you would also even have the practicality of 2 washers and 2 dryers 2 driveways, more bathrooms etc.

It might actually work out cheaper for you to rent 2 homes and I would also suggest each family has their own transport. Take a look to the right at the DIBB Guide information on communities, villa map, villa adverts and you might even want to place a request in the villa request section.
