1. So Good Farm

(116)

33km from Bombala · 11 sites · Tents, Lodging · Wyndham, NSW

We purchased our 200-acre property after it was heavily impacted by the Summer 2019/20 bushfires. As newcomers to farming, we’re learning what it means to live and work on the land. The property came with a flock of sheep—who continue to teach us new things every day—and we share the farm with our incredibly friendly kelpie, Sage. We’re keen to move toward organic farming, do our part for the environment, and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. We grow herbs and vegetables, tend a small collection of fruit trees, and are excited to plant many more. We’ve fallen in love with farm life and hope our property becomes a place of learning, enjoyment, and shared experiences. So Good Farm is located 25 minutes west of Pambula Beach on the Sapphire Coast. Surrounded by trees and rich with wildlife, the property features a creek running through it and a spring-fed dam. There are plenty of walking tracks across the hilly landscape, offering stunning views from various points—especially from the peak, for those willing to take on the climb. The property also borders a national park. The nearest town is just five minutes away, where you’ll find food supplies and fuel.

52km from Bombala · 8 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Kybeyan, NSW

Pitch your tent or park your campertrailer in the native bushland with the pristine Numeralla River as your boundary fence. This 3000 acre property is located close to Nimmitabel and not too far from Cooma. Try your hand at trout fishing and enjoy endless tracks for bushwalking and observing the native wildlife. Wander along the river banks just enjoying the serenity of the location and witness platypus feeding, water dragons sunning themselves and the brown trout fly feeding and one of Australia's beautiful but lesser known native rodents, Rakali (intelligent semi aquatic water rat who's scientific name translates to golden -bellied water mouse). One of Australia's two aquatic mammals, the platypus being the other. This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. IF NO CHEMICAL TOILET, DIG A HOLE AT LEAST 30CM DEEP . There is access to a drinking water supply (mountain river water), or you can bring your own water. After heavy rain you may need to boil/filter for drinking. You will need a 4WD to access the campsites closest to the river as there is a shallow gully crossing. Camper trailer or off road pop up campers will be able to negoiate the tracks. Good clearance necessary to pass over one gully crossing. Dogs are welcome, however, we do run sheep in an adjoining paddock so they need to stay close to your camp. Kids aged 16 and under camp for free. There is a dedicated campfire pit so you can stay warm on chilly evenings (please check to see if there is a seasonal fire ban in place). Fire wood can be provided - chainsaws are permitted but be mindful of structures that are animal habitats. Your family may enjoy taking a bushwalk that takes you around the 300 acre native bush paddock. Climb up and get a birds eye view down into a gully of magnificent granite boulders above where the river disappears deep below. Identify the unique sounds of the native birds and follow the tracks wildlife create. We are centrally located - just 1.5 hours from the snowfields and from the best beaches of the NSW coastline. There is a small general store, 2 takeaway cafes and a pub at Nimmitabel, or you can get all supplies in Cooma 25 mins away. Please note that we have very limited reception service for mobiles, so let's communicate via messages before you arrive in our area. I can provide a camping setup if you need extra bedding or you don't have any camping equipment or tent.

3. Kanukadale Forest River Retreat

71km from Bombala · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Goongerah, VIC

We have 20 acres of lush river flats adjoining the pristine Brodribb River in the Goongerah Valley. Due to the pristine, clean water straight off the surrounding mountains and the rich fertile river flats, early settlers used this place as a market garden to supply fruit and vegetables to the local townsfolk. After our purchase in 2000, we turned it into a self-sufficient paradise, always welcoming visitors to come and enjoy the land with us. Our BYO campsites are near the river where you can reconnect with nature amongst the tall trees. Kanukadale is a working Nature Retreat Sanctuary, so additional to BYO campsites, we also offer our Bell Tents when the retreats are not running. Here at Kanukadale, you will share the space with very friendly horses, ponies, miniature goats and our donkey. The property is child friendly as the boundary, river and paddocks are well fenced. You can do as much or as little as you want during your stay. Be sure to check out our awesome animal focussed activities that we offer here. You can find them under Experiences. You are welcome to bring your own horses and dogs. Dogs must stay on a lead whilst on the property and responsible pet ownership is essential here, as is a respectful attitude towards all the other sentient beings on the property. We do not allow generators here. There is lots to do in the area with heaps of nature immersion. East Gippsland is one of the most bio-diverse areas on mainland Australia. You can explore rare, Old Growth forest, historic gold mines, climb to the peak of Mt Ellery and walk through the Errinundra Plateau. Mountain bike riding, horseriding, 4wd touring and bushwalking is awesome in this area. There is a camp kitchen with a communal fridge, microwave, stove and electricity. There is also a composting toilet and hot shower facilities. There is free wifi. THERE ARE NO SHOPS OR FUEL OR MOBILE RECEPTION. WIFI CALLING WORKS IF YOU HAVE THAT OPTION. THE CLOSEST TOWN IS 50 KM TO DELEGATE OR 70KM TO ORBOST. YOU NEED TO COME COMPLETELY PREPARED OR IT’S A LONG DRIVE TO TOWN. THERE IS A PUBLIC PHONE BOX UP THE ROAD.

4. Merriangaah Eco Retreat

22km from Bombala · 2 sites · Lodging · Bombala, NSW

At Merriangaah Eco Retreat, guests can immerse themselves in nature with a range of outdoor activities. Bring your kayak to paddle on the dam, explore mountain bike trails, photograph vibrant wildflowers, or take a bushwalk through the serene landscape.

You can also feed the fish while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. For a comfortable and immersive retreat, we offer two 4-meter bell tents, a toilet and shower tent, camping beds, and gas BBQ facilities, ensuring a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation in nature.

Weekend Trip to Kanukadale Forest River Retreat

Fantastic glamping experience and Tama is an excellent host! The kids loved the activities too including crafting and Trails with Tails. The hot tub is nice and we had fun swimming in the river. Also enjoyed the beautiful farm animals especially the peacocks. The camp kitchen with fridge is handy. The farm animals make noises at night which some people like and other may want to bring ear plugs. Highly recommend!

A fabulous place that we would love to visit again. The glamping tent was put to the test with hours of heavy rain and passed - we were dry, warm and cosy inside. The surrounds are beautiful and peaceful, whilst the camp kitchen and sitting area is well equipped and cosy. Bec was an amazing host, making sure we had everything we needed, lending us equipment and providing tips on where to visit. We have no hesitation in recommending So Good Farm to others.

Best experience - different league to all other places we found. Rebecca's and Stuart's passion and excitement about nature regeneration as well as enriching guest experience are contagious. Beautiful camp sites, glorious vistas, inspiring walks, very tasteful common areas and the most beautiful outdoor/indoor shower... Our kids and us loved it so much we were back within a week.

So Good Farm absolutely blew us away! The property was absolutely stunning, the pictures did not do it justice. The common kitchen area was such a comfy and beautiful place to shelter from the rain (but would be great in any weather!). Bec and furry friend Sage were so lovely and welcoming, and the glamping tent was simple but absolutely perfect for a couple of nights. We really hope that we’ll get to come back and check out more in the area and on the farm!

What an amazing place to stay. Beautifully presented and cozy glamping tent comfortably fit our family of four (including two teenagers). We had a stunning view over the tree covered hills and woke to the birds’ dawn chorus each morning. Bec was really welcoming and helpful with advice on local attractions. The giant tree swing was a hit with our kids. Fridge in the shared camp kitchen was really handy and the bathroom facilities were very clean. Thank you Bec and Stuart for a fantastic 5 night stay on your beautiful property!

Tama's lovely property offers a range of great accom options in a gorgeous location right on the river. Beds in the glamping tents were super comfy though be prepared for a little noise from both the local wildlife and the farm animals. The lovely hot showers were a welcome sight after a few days in the bush.
