Take a well deserved vacation at Inglewood Motel and Caravan Park!
Located two hours from Melbourne and 35 minutes from Bendigo,
Inglewood Motel and Caravan Park is a 10 acre bush park privately owned and managed by Jerry and Pauline Wellman in the gorgeous gold-rush town of Inglewood, Victoria. The park is within walking distance to cafes, shops and hotel entertainment, and is surrounded by State Forests.
Inglewood is a popular destination for tourists and forms part of the renowned Golden Triangle - a region of the Victorian Goldfields which is world famous for the size, purity, and quantity of gold nuggets found in the area.

Welcome Stranger nugget, the largest alluvial gold nugget discovered in the world so far, was unearthed within the Golden Triangle in 1869.
