This property is in Northangera with the Mongarlowe River running along the boundary. It's covered in trees and provides a pristine environment amongst the "Scribbly Gums". It has flat areas with plenty of free timber for the designated fire pits. I have tried to create a haven for wildlife including Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and platypus. I cherish the cleanliness of the river and surrounds and wish to be able to share this special environment with others who care to preserve all it offers. You can explore the property along the tracks, paddle, swim or fish in the river, enjoy the fauna, wildlife and birdlife.
Located not far from Braidwood, a town steeped in history, with good shopping, coffee shops and great food.
Sloping to flat land amongst the Scribbly Gum trees offering a number of sites and walks through the property. It provides both sun and shade. Access is good for vans of any size along a track through the bushland.
Lovely swimming spots in the Mongalowe River, beautiful clear water, and several lovely bushwalks around the property.
There is only Telstra reception available in this area.
We offer 7 different sites and the maximum stay is 7 nights.

Our property is a working Truffle Farm, our land is fairly level but backs onto thousands of acres of Crown Land and the Shoalhaven River where you can relax in the fresh water, fossick for gold or enjoy bush trails.
EV Charging station available Type 2 plug (costs applicable).
If you'd rather read a book, you'll find lots of peaceful spots and the nights are just unbelievable with all the stars that shine so brightly.

A serene farm stay on the banks of the winding Murrumbidgee River. This beautiful cottage was the original Shearer’s Quarters for the sprawling Bumbalong sheep station. It has been warmly renovated to provide a modern, comfortable stay whilst maintaining a 'laid-back, country' vibe.
The Shearer’s Quarters cottage is nestled in a valley with Murrumbidgee River in front and the foothills of the Clear Range Mountains behind. You can go for hikes, swim in the river, go fishing or simply just relax and unwind. Try the hot tub on the verandah overlooking the countryside!
Escape from the city and totally immerse yourself in nature here at Snowy River Farm.

Love the Shack, the inside and outside of the Shack is clean and tidy. The property is very near the river and my 2 sons enjoyed swimming and fishing in the river.
The Shack have a fireplace inside for cold nights.
The environment is very quite and serene. Very relaxing place to camp.

We had the most fantastic time at the River Shack! It was so relaxing and beautiful. I saw a platypus & a water dragon. The shack is rustic and comfortable, and it has everything you need. It was a wonderful getaway.

The Shack provided us with the perfect long weekend retreat. Phil has set up the Shack with a cooker, chairs, table, comfortable beds and cooking utensils. The view to the river is beautiful and we enjoyed a refreshing swim and paddle board. We loved the indoor and outdoor fire - plenty of firewood provided! The best part - total peace and quiet! We didn’t see anyone else on the property! Thanks Phil - we would love to come back!

Weekend Trip to Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping
We loved staying at the river shack - it has everything you need for a relaxing, off-grid holiday. The shack is well stocked with cooking supplies and firewood and the log burner kept us cosy during the cold nights. The view from the deck was lovely - we even saw 2 platypus! Would definitely recommend the shack!

The most beautiful site on the river. So private, serene and relaxing. We were a bit worried about the cold (sub zero) but the shack is SO cosy with the fire. Well stocked with cooking gear, firewood and two drums of water (we still BYO drinking water). We were visited by a wombat and platypus!
Perfect getaway for two couples and a dog.

Beautiful little shack in a beautiful location on the riverside. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the evening fire with a good wood supply provided by Phil, very considerate.
Highly recommend it if you like a cosy cottage with basic provisions.
