Greenacres Caravan Park: A Peaceful Rural Retreat on Brisbane’s Doorstep
The park’s location in the leafy suburb of Sheldon is one of its greatest assets. It is just minutes away from the award-winning Sirromet Winery, making it the perfect base for attending one of their famous “A Day on the Green” concerts or simply enjoying an afternoon of wine tasting and fine dining. It also offers fantastic access to the beautiful Redland Bay area, with its charming coastal villages and ferry terminals for exploring the bay islands. After a day of city sightseeing or coastal exploration, the park’s refreshing swimming pool is the ideal spot to cool down and relax. With clean facilities and a range of accommodation options, Greenacres provides a practical, affordable, and wonderfully peaceful base for your entire South East Queensland adventure.
