Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

Very pretty spot and nice tent. Enjoyed the bush walks, feeding the goats and alpacas and just relaxing near the river. We had a thunderstorm for about an hour but the tent was unfazed and we stayed dry so all good!

What an amazing spot! Our kids (8 and 4 yo) said this was their favorite camping trip to date - and we’ve done a lot! Highlights from them were: feeding the animals each day and the beautiful swimming holes we found on our bushwalks. Highlights from the adults: not having to pack a mountain of camping gear, rocking up to a set up campsite and access to a bathroom/kitchenette. Melissa was so hopeful and took extra time and care showing the boys how to feed the animals each day. We were all sad to leave but we promised the kids we’ll be back! Thanks for a wonderful, relaxing stay!

Our family had the most wonderful stay at The Rosewood. We travelled with two children aged 7 and 4, and it was absolutely perfect for a family getaway.
The bell tent was very comfortable, with a double/queen bed for us and two single mattresses on the floor for the kids. There was a dining table inside the tent and a Weber BBQ outside, which we used for both breakfast and dinner — such a great setup.
The private shower, toilet, fridge and kettle were located in the main house out the back, around a short walk from the tent (approximately 50 metres). It was private and well set up.
One of our favourite experiences was the fireplace by the river, where we enjoyed making s’mores and marshmallows with the kids (we brought our own lighters and fire starters). The campsite is right beside the creek and offered plenty of opportunities for exploring. The terrain isn’t flat, so just something to be mindful of, but we did find a lovely section with running water very close to the camp that was perfect for the kids to play in.
The absolute highlight of our stay was meeting the animals — the goats Bon Bon, Cutlet and Cookie, and the alpacas Humphrey and Marshall. We were lucky enough to help with feeding time, and the kids still talk about it as the best part of the trip.
The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to families.

My wife, little kiddies (5y/o,3y/o) and I recently stayed at what can only be described as a peaceful, private retreat with lots of fun to be had. From feeding the delightful goats, Cookie, Cutlet and Bon Bon, and alpacas, Marshall and Humphrey, which if your kids are anything like mine, animal crazy! Then they will love the closeness from the spacious tent, a short walk or toddle to the fence to greet them each morning. Hosts were warm and welcoming, also took time for a chat while feeding the animals which again was a highlight for the kids. After feeding time a short walk down to the river for a cool dip was refreshing way to start the day. It felt like the river was right there in the backyard. Charming fire pit with logs for sitting. Hosts set out firewood for our convenience. Amenities were considered too, very much felt like a great balance of glamping while still being out below the stars at night. As soon as we left my daughter was asking, rather telling me we need to drive back to make the next feeding time.

4 nights at Rosewood Farm's Riverside Glamping
The way Melissa and her family have allowed people to experience the beauty of where they live is very unique. The location is stunning; right on the Bargo River with amazing birds, dragonflies, lizards and their own beautiful alpaccas and goats. Seeing/being part of the animals daily feeding routine was so good to watch or be part of. The tent set up is perfect with chairs, a fire pit, cooking utensils, a weber bbq and many other items to make your stay very easy! Beds were super comfy. The family house is nearby and they allow use of the downstairs bathroom/laundry/fridge facilities... which is amazing! Definitely a place to be respected. Theres a short walk from car parking area to site, but once youre set up, this place is bliss. The township of Tahmoor is so close and you would never know it 💚💙

The place is peaceful and perfectly located in the middle of nature, which made it truly relaxing. The host generously provided lots of free firewood and fresh eggs, which was a lovely touch. The tent was spacious and comfortable and my dog enjoyed the stay even more than we did! We were also given free BBQ equipment and gas, which made our evenings even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a calm getaway close to nature. Just make sure to bring enough drinking water.

1 night at K2 River Island Nature Retreat
It's a beautiful place and worth the drive.
Be sure to pack food that you can cook or put in the fridge or heat.
There's 2 patches of road towards the end that are a bit rough but nothing my tiny MG couldn't handle.
It's a great place. Lots of other things to do as well like pool, billiard, table tennis. Shared bathroom area is very very close and very convenient. Plenty of water.
The help there is a pure gentleman and happy to help off times as well. It was a great trip overall.

We had a lovely time. Everything was spotless and really comfortable (especially the beds). Melissa went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Our kids loved feeding the alpacas, goats and swimming in the river.

I stayed in the beautiful Bell Tent at Mellows Ridge and absolutely loved it. The setting is incredible, surrounded by tall trees, birdlife, rocky outcrops, and stunning views. It’s so peaceful, with plenty of wildlife around. I even spotted a diamond python and echidnas!
The Bell Tent itself was spacious and luxurious, with lights, music, power, and a private toilet - everything you could need. Enjoying delicious wood-fired pizza and wine in the hot tub overlooking the valley was just perfect. My dog had the best time too and even made a new friend, Lana (Ian’s lovely dog), who took us on a tour to the waterfall!
Sitting by the campfire listening to the birds was so relaxing. It feels wonderfully secluded yet it’s just a short drive from town. The customer service was exceptional - having a strong coffee delivered at 7am was amazing. I really didn’t have to bring a thing.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for peace, comfort, and a touch of luxury in nature.

Stayed for 2 nights on the weekend with the family, it was lovely and my girls had the best time.
The tent was spacious & clean.
The host made the space very aesthetic and cozy. And out stay comfortable
There was Double bed and 2 single bed all with beddings, pillows and duvet covers perfect for family of 4 or any group of 4.
Everything needed for camping is there, Bbq, fridge, kettle toaster, so really we only need to bring some change clothes. The host also prepared some torches for my girls, lantern and spare batteries incase we need them, very thoughtful :)
And there’s a beautiful river nearby which was lovely for water play, quick dip, or just simply enjoy the nature . There’s also some beautiful pools with waterfalls cascades that require abit of hike 15-20 mins, we chose not to go because we have a 4yo with us.
The highlights for my daughters was the farm animals, Melissa lets them join in every feeding while we were there - lots of animals feeding & patting time, it was truly an experience for them.
This place is truly gems! Only abt 1 hour from Sydney
But feels secluded & private, shops are only 5 mins drive from the property. Its the easiest most convenient camping experience you’d have! Highly recommended! We will be back for sure
