Getting to the Ecolodge

Greyhound Bus

Arriving by car

Greyhound Bus

Book the Greyhound Bus to the Childers stop arriving 7.40pm.  We offer a free pickup from here but check availability of pickup with us first.  Email your bus ticket so we have confirmation of what bus you are on, and send us a message if the bus is running late.


Currently there is no Greyhound Bus arriving from the North at a sensible hour, so you will need to stay in Bundaberg for a night or 2 and check when we can pick you up, or wait until 7am in Childers.


Bring food for your first 2 days as we are out of town with no shops within walking distance.
