Bike riding on the lawns at Glendalough
Location
Glendalough is surrounded by natural bushland featuring eucalyptus and wallum (heath lands) vegetation, on the doorstep of Lake Weyba, one of the large, shallow lakes of the region. A central area of lawns and landscaped gardens link the covered walkways between buildings. A well maintained oval is located along the eastern boundary. The wide open spaces offer the perfect location to enjoy endless outdoor activities.
Nearby, the climbs of Mt Coolum and Mt Peregian offer excellent hiking experiences, and the environmental walk at Stumer’s Creek Reserve gives an opportunity to observe nature at its best. There are numerous patrolled, safe, surfing beaches, within easy reach of the camp site.
Various group activities encourage participation
