Situated on the beautiful banks of the Burnett River just out of Bundaberg. We have powered and unpowered sites overlooking this pristine river and creekside area. We have our own private boat ramp and pontoon that our guests are welcome to use and toilet and shower facilities on site. Our Creekside area is quite and secluded looking down onto the creek with an abundant supply of wildlife. There is a transportable toilet and shower for your use. Creekside is a 10 minute easy walk to riverside or a minute drive. Enjoy the abundant wildlife whilst canoeing up our subtropical creek or just sit and relax and take in the view of the passing waterskiers. Platypus Park Riverside is a unique hidden gem with bushwalking, a hit of golf, volleyball, swimming and fishing. You won't be disappointed with your stay. Come check us out. NOTE! LOCKED GATED ACCESS REQUIRES HOST TO MEET YOU ON ARRIVAL. Please make sure you have a confirmed booking, check "MY TRIPS" in your profile for directions and call me 30 minutes before arrival to avoid needing to wait for me.

Stunning property with an extremely peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Everyone is extremely respectful of other guests and the property is immaculate. Plenty of space to do your own thing and recharge. The amenities were top quality. Will definitely be making future stays.
