(4.3/5 Rating)

Nestled in the heart of the tranquil seaside town of Marlo, our caravan park and motel offers the perfect base for adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable family holidays. Situated on 13 acres of lush, grassed parkland, we are just a stone’s throw from the legendary Snowy River estuary and the wild beauty of the Bass Strait coastline. This idyllic location makes it a paradise for anglers, boaters, and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re casting a line for bream in the river, enjoying a surf fish on the nearby beach, or simply soaking up the serene atmosphere, Marlo provides a classic Australian coastal experience.

Our park is designed to cater for every type of traveller. We offer a wide range of accommodation, from spacious powered and unpowered sites suitable for the largest rigs and tents, to comfortable and well-appointed motel units for those seeking a little extra comfort. The park’s central location means you are only a short, pleasant stroll away from the iconic Marlo Hotel for a hearty meal, the local general store for supplies, and the town’s jetty and boat ramp. With friendly service, excellent facilities, and a stunning natural backdrop, Marlo Caravan Park and Motel is the ideal destination to create lasting memories in one of East Gippsland’s most scenic spots.
