59km from Banora Point · 2 sites · Tents, RVsOur hinterland hideaway, Booyong Farm, is nestled in the beautiful hills of Clunes. With a mix of natural bush and around 600 grand old macadamia trees, it’s a private off-grid escape that still keeps you close to everything. Clunes Store and Cellars is just 5 minutes down the road and is a bit of a local gem, with great coffee, food, groceries, fresh fruit and veg, alcohol, drinks, and even a post office. You’re also only 15 minutes to Bangalow, 20 minutes to Lismore and around 30 minutes to Byron Bay.
Alongside our old horses Sunny and Himi, our chooks, our goats, the cows and our dogs Bowie and Naboo, there’s plenty of wildlife that calls this place home. It’s not uncommon to spot wallabies, echidnas, platypus, eagles and lots of birdlife if you take the time to slow down and look around.
You can choose from two different sites across the property. Site 1 sits up on the main farm plateau with easier access, while Site 2 down by the creek is a bit more tucked away and only suited to those with a 4WD. Each spot feels private in its own way and all of them catch the beautiful sunsets we get out here.
The spring-fed creek runs year round and is a lovely place to cool off after a wander, whether that’s exploring the property itself or heading out to one of the many incredible spots nearby. Just keep in mind that water levels can change depending on recent rain, as Mother Nature tends to do her own thing.
There’s plenty to explore in the area if you feel like heading out, from long lunches and good food to horse riding or a day at the beach. Or you can just stay put, slow down and enjoy the quiet. It really depends what kind of stay you’re after.
