Roseneath Holiday Park: Gippsland’s Lakeside Bush Retreat
As a proudly family and pet-friendly park, we welcome every member of your family, including the four-legged ones. With extensive walking tracks and over two kilometres of child-friendly sandy beach, there is endless space to explore, play, and relax. The calm, clean waters of Lake Wellington are ideal for a range of activities, including swimming, kayaking, jet skiing, and boating. Anglers will be delighted with the excellent fishing opportunities, with Bream, Mullet, and Flathead often caught from the shore or by boat. Our facilities are designed to ensure your stay is comfortable and convenient, featuring a swimming pool, tennis court, modern amenities block, and a camp kitchen. Whether you’re setting up a tent on an unpowered site to get back to basics, parking your caravan on a powered site, or staying in one of our onsite cabins, Roseneath Holiday Park provides the perfect base for your Gippsland adventure. Enjoy spectacular sunsets over the lake, gather around a campfire under the stars (subject to seasonal restrictions), and create lasting memories in this unique corner of Victoria.
