Shane was an amazing host and incredibly friendly and welcoming. The property is dog friendly with 60 acres of forest and open areas. The views are beautiful. The property is pristine with rubbish bins provided as well as bottle collection. Although we arrived during fire ban season, fire pits are available as well. Shane is a host well worth our money!

1 night at The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Peaceful and lovely views around farm. The cows were lovely to wake up to and were everywhere. Friendly though and some cute calfs. The information given before and after booking is a little confusing, as it depends where you camp as to what instruction to follow. I had messaged Tom prior to going to ask questions, but never received a reply. Once I got to the farm I called Tom, as I did not know where to go as I was in a converted minibus 2W and not all areas were suitable. However, Tom was not that helpful when I asked and just said he had been too busy to reply to me and to just go anywhere and that I’d be alright. Felt a little like he wasn’t too bothered, which surprised me given the previous reviews I’d read and how helpful Tom was. Maybe caught him at a bad time….. price wise, I thought it was a little expensive given that toilets are the only amenity. I had only paid $10 more in the area for power and water hook up, but guess you’re paying for the views and peace instead! That said, we did enjoy our stay and our chosen spot was really nice. Toilets are close by and clean enough.

Beautiful place to camp. Well spaced out (we barely saw anyone while staying), perfect views, beautiful creek. Portaloos accessible from all of the areas we looked at and were clean and looked after - I saw Tom checking them all while we were there. Access to firewood for $20. Great fire barrels. Lovely spots to walk through. Tom was really helpful. Easy drive and lots of spots are accessible for 2wd. Recommend going for a walk around the property as there are some spots we found after setup that would've been lovely - so we've picked our spot for next time! Loved the place and we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Green Valley Farm Stay

The perfect escape! We had an peaceful weekend stay at Site 2. The site offered plenty of shade, which was a huge plus, but the absolute highlight was the 4pm sea breeze—it was so refreshing! If you're into photography, the sunsets from the property are stunning this time of year. We got some incredible shots right from our camp. The facilities were top-notch: Modern and incredibly clean. * Instant hot showers (a total game changer!). We’ll definitely be back for another weekend stay. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Riverside Farm Escape Minimbah

We had a great stay at this Richard’s spot. The location is beautiful, with multiple spots right by the river, all easily accessible by 2WD cars. Free kayaking was a lovely bonus, and we saw plenty of wildlife including kangaroos and a wide variety of birds such as fairywrens and ducks. The amenities were excellent — clean toilets with flush, sinks, and showers, which made the stay very comfortable. Richard was very prompt with his messages and extremely accommodating throughout. Would definitely go again and highly recommend.

Beautiful property with river frontage. We booked a powered site which was on raised ground about 50m from the river. Next time I’d like to be right by the river (even without power). The property has some lovely trails and fishing and boating activities which we didn’t utilise as we were only there overnight. Definitely coming back.
