27km from Alstonville · 9 sites · Tents, RVs

Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind private property nestled deep within a secluded valley in the stunning Byron Bay hinterlands. If you're searching for genuine peace, quiet, and a deep connection with nature, this is it. Imagine this: you're at the very end of a quiet valley road, where The Hidden Gem offers absolute privacy. There are no noisy neighbours or distracting lights here – just the tranquil sounds of the Australian bush. Our spacious camping area features 10 private tent and campervan sites set on a beautiful open meadow. It backs directly onto a vast national park, giving you direct access to established hiking trails. These paths lead straight to the top of nearby waterfalls, offering breathtaking panoramic views overlooking the entire valley. Feel free to explore our expansive grounds; you're welcome to wander through them, and yes, you can definitely enjoy a small campfire under the stars at your own campsite. We've got 300 meters of pristine, year-round, spring-fed creek frontage, complete with a beautiful swimming hole that's just perfect for a refreshing dip. Beyond the creek, take a peaceful stroll through our serene spring-fed lotus pond or explore the productive lychee orchard when it's in season. And those waterfalls? You'll find three enchanting ones within just 500 meters of the property, showing off their beauty from various vantage points. Plus, the iconic Minyon Falls is only a short 10-minute drive away. Guests have access to a charming small settlers cottage, which includes a cozy lounge area, a convenient kitchenette, and a warming fireplace – perfect for those cooler evenings. Right next door, a large, covered deck with its own fireplace offers an inviting communal space for relaxation. For your convenience, we provide clean flushing toilets and hot showers. And for the ultimate relaxation, our rejuvenating wood-fired cedar sauna is available upon request for an additional fee. Just a heads-up, you'll need to supply your own firewood for it. Despite its profound sense of seclusion, The Hidden Gem is surprisingly easy to get to. We're located just 20 minutes from the charming village of Federal, 35 minutes from the vibrant town of Mullumbimby, and only 45 minutes from the the world-renowned beaches of Byron Bay.

We had a great night at Jane's place. The space is beautiful, quiet and spacious. Well maintained grassy areas to park up and enjoy. Super close to The General Store to stock up on some basics and grab fuel as we left. Highly recommend. Could easily stay longer to explore this beautiful area. Thanks for having us!

Great location for groups/families.. Plenty of space between sites and very peaceful. Porta-loo and bins available. Owners were very friendly and came every day to check supplies in toilets and empty bins. Great creek for kids to swim in with turtles but path down can be tricky and slippery.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved our stay at Oxley View! The views were stunning and the whole place was so peaceful—perfect for relaxing and switching off. The owners were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made us feel very welcome. Swimming in the creek was incredibly refreshing, and kayaking was a great bonus.

Great Place for Vancamping and sure for all other types of camping. Big and silent campsite with good and very easy access on a lovely and well maintained property in the nature. On the campsite is a free WIFI available. Jane and her husband are really nice and helped wherever they could. They have two friendly dogs which might will greet during your stay. We really enjoyed our stay at Jane’s property and can recommend staying there.
