A smart base for work trips around Gladstone

Ten minutes from the airport, twenty from the CBD and the industrial precincts — quiet rooms, dinner on site and easy parking make Parklands an easy base for a roster or a project.

5 min readUpdated June 2026

Plenty of our guests are here to work — a roster in Gladstone, a project on the coast, or a night between job sites. Calliope turns out to be an ideal base: close to everything that matters during the day, and genuinely quiet when you need to rest.

Close to where the work is

From Calliope you are about 10 minutes from Gladstone Airport and roughly 20 from the CBD, the port and the industrial precincts — close enough for an early start, far enough to switch off after a shift.

Rest that actually works

Rooms and cabins sit well back from the highway in quiet native gardens, so an early night or a day-sleep both work. Rooms are ground-floor, and after-hours check-in can be arranged for late arrivals.

Set up for longer stays

For longer projects there is a buffet dinner on site (paid and subject to availability) so there is no late food run, a coin laundry, and self-contained cabins with a kitchenette and full-sized fridge. Long-stay and group enquiries are welcome.

Easy on, easy off the highway

Right by the Bruce Highway on the Dawson Highway, the resort is simple to find at night and quick to rejoin in the morning — and only 10 minutes from the airport if you are flying in and out.
