The Redcliffe Peninsula is one of the easiest coastal escapes to reach from Brisbane, close enough for a weekend, far enough to feel away from it all. Here’s how to get to Redcliffe and Scarborough.
How far is Redcliffe from Brisbane?
Redcliffe is about 35 km north of Brisbane CBD, roughly a 40-minute drive. From Brisbane Airport it’s even closer, at about 30 minutes. That makes it a genuinely easy getaway: leave the city after work and you’re at the beach before dinner.
How do you get to Redcliffe by car?
From Brisbane, head north on the Gateway Motorway / Bruce Highway and follow the signs to Redcliffe via the Houghton Highway across Moreton Bay, the bridge crossing itself is a lovely arrival. The villa is in Scarborough at 6A Palmtree Ave, with a secure garage and off-street parking when you arrive.
Can you get to Redcliffe by public transport?
Yes. Take the train to Kippa-Ring station (the end of the Redcliffe Peninsula line), then a short bus or rideshare to Scarborough. Local TransLink buses (including routes serving the Peninsula and Kippa-Ring) connect the area, and Queensland’s flat 50-cent fares make it very cheap to get around once you’re here.
Getting around once you’re here
Most of the best of Redcliffe, the beaches, the jetty, the marina, the markets and the cafés, is within a few minutes of Scarborough, and the flat Moreton Bay Cycleway makes walking and cycling easy. A car is handy for day trips, but you won’t need it for much day to day.
Where to stay on the Peninsula
Redcliffe Seaside Villa Escape is in the heart of Scarborough with secure parking, five minutes from the beach and an easy 40 minutes from Brisbane. See the accommodation or check availability.
How long does it take to drive from Brisbane to Redcliffe?
About 40 minutes from Brisbane CBD (around 35 km), and roughly 30 minutes from Brisbane Airport.
Is there a train to Redcliffe?
The Redcliffe Peninsula line runs to Kippa-Ring station; from there it’s a short bus or rideshare to Scarborough and the foreshore.
Is there parking at the villa?
