For those travellers who do not want the time consuming hassle
of unhitching or reversing a caravan into a site, we provide several
unique drive through sites. You can maintain your sanity by driving
straight in and out of your nominated site with ease. We do our
best to eliminate any unnecessary reversing.
We also have 70 large powered sites - many of these with annex
pads. We are able to cater for larger vans, rigs and buses as well
as those hauling another vehicle on a trailer. Our trees have been
trained so that they provide excellent shade, but still feature
good access for higher vehicles without the worry of damaging their
roof or air conditioner.
On Site Accommodation
For travellers who wish to stay and enjoy the facilities but have
no caravan or tent, we offer alternative accommodation appointed
with all the luxuries you would expect of a 4 star facility.
The large fully self contained unit with queen size bed is primarily for couples, however can accommodate extra persons on the double futon in the living room area. It boasts it’s own private patio, reverse cycle air conditioning and full kitchen including all appliances etc.
Our comfortable new 4 star transportable cottages, ‘Banksia’ and ‘Bottlebrush’ are also fully self contained and equipped with quality fittings plus all the conveniences mentioned above. These are also primarily for couples but can also accommodate 2 extra persons on the fold-out sofa bed if necessary.
Another option for travellers wanting quality accommodation at a reasonable price is our on-site caravans. These are also fully equipped, air conditioned, and all linen is supplied. Please enquire for details.

We have a separate grassy area for campers in tents
- these come with or without power according to your preference.
We cater for our campers by providing a well equipped campers kitchen
featuring a large fridge & freezer, stove, microwave, kettle
and toaster. The camp kitchen adjoins an 'al fresco' shaded patio
area set up with café tables and chairs for your comfort.
There is a large recreation room with TV and dining facilities as
well as a campers sink area for your 'cleaning up' needs.
BARBEQUE AREA
We provide free BBQ facilities to all our guests.
Our main BBQ area is set up in a sheltered and covered section of
the park adjacent to the swimming pool. There are benches here for
your preparation needs and a sink for your convenience. We provide
several tables and chairs in this area and it is popular for large
gatherings for breakfast, lunch and dinner time feasts. It is tastefully
lit at night for those who like to linger with a few drinks.
ABLUTION FACILITIES

At Marloo Retiree & Senior Tourist Park, we provide
toilet facilities that are top of the range and talked about Australia
wide! They are hidden in a lush tropical garden setting with frangipani
aroma in the air. They are beautifully tiled and pristinely clean
featuring tasteful halogen downlighting and extractor fans. Shower
curtains are provided for your comfort, as is guest soap and hand
towels. We have decorated the area with a few strategically placed
pot plants which add to the restful décor and have music
playing very softly throughout the ablution block which gives a
cosy and homely feeling during those late night visits!
LAUNDRY and DRYING FACILITIES

At Marloo we have quality commercial washing machines
and dryers which operate on a 'token' basis. There are several large
laundry troughs and benches within the tropical garden surrounds
of the laundry. We provide an iron and ironing board for your convenience
as well as chairs and magazines in the area for those who wish to
wait for their washing to finish. There are several clothes lines
grouped in two main areas of the park for your use. Reception can
provide small quantities of washing powder and pegs for those who
come unprepared.
SWIMMING POOL

The Marloo swimming pool is ideal for the mature guest.
It is slightly heated during winter for those who like to relax
after a busy day sightseeing. It is kept sparkling clean and features
seating, tables and sun lounges for your comfort.
FRUIT & VEGETABLE STALL
During our busy months in the winter, 'Marloo Markets'
is stocked daily with local fresh fruit and vegetables. This is
supplied by one of the plantation owners who grow quality produce
for sale in regional areas. The Market stall operates on an 'honesty'
basis and all takings go straight to the plantation owner, cutting
out costs related to the 'middle man'. As well as being very cost
effective it is a healthy alternative for guests who want to purchase
fresh produce every day.
SECURITY
The Security Access Gate gives you peace of mind during
your stay at Marloo. Only guests with an access code are able to
drive into the park. Visitors and others just wishing to 'have a
look' are required to park in the front car park and walk down to
the park. This eliminates having extra vehicles creating noise and
inconvenience thus enhancing your Marloo experience. The owners
also patrol the grounds regularly at night to maintain a worry free
environment for your comfort. |
