Glenlodge Caravan Village: Your Quiet Base in Bundaberg
The park is managed with a focus on guest comfort and provides all the necessary facilities for a hassle-free stay. Visitors can cool off in the inviting swimming pool, take care of chores at the laundry facilities, or simply relax at their site. Unlike the beachfront parks, Glenlodge’s appeal lies in its strategic location. It is only minutes from Bundaberg’s city centre, major shopping complexes, and the airport. This makes it an incredibly convenient hub for visiting iconic attractions such as the Bundaberg Rum Distillery, the Hinkler Hall of Aviation at the Botanic Gardens, and the world-famous Mon Repos Turtle Centre. For those who value a quiet night’s sleep, friendly service, and the ability to easily access everything a major regional city has to offer, Glenlodge Caravan Village provides a smart and affordable solution for your Bundaberg stopover.
