This is a place for slowing down, sitting on grass, swimming in rivers, watching light change across the hills, and resting amongst the wildlife and our resident cows.
Your hosts live further back on the property. We’re close enough to help if needed, but far enough away that you’ll feel properly off-grid.
There is no mobile reception, which is part of the magic.
This is a leave-no-trace property:
- There are no bins — please take all rubbish with you when you leave.
- Campfires welcome when there is no fire ban.
- Facilities vary by site — please check individual listings carefully and come prepared.
Pets may be possible by request. We love visiting animals, but we also protect our local wildlife and grass-powered lawnmowers (the cows), so approval is on a case-by-case basis.
Rocky River Play Station is also home to evolving creative projects, small gatherings, and the Brushtales Arts Residency. Come to rest, create, gather — you're welcome.

Weekend Trip to Wollombi Springs
I almost don’t want to write this review because I’d rather keep Robert’s place a secret. It’s tranquil, rustic and incredibly comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere that helped me slow down and reconnect with nature.
Everything felt authentic and unpretentious, making it easy to relax from the moment I arrived. Whether I was sitting around, enjoying the surroundings, or simply taking in the quiet, it felt like a genuine tonic for the soul.
If you’re looking for luxury, this probably isn’t it. But if you’re after a beautiful, peaceful escape with character and charm, it’s hard to beat. I left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to returning.
Thanks Robert for sharing this magical place

We had such a wonderful stay in your cottage , it was truly a special experience for our family.
The cottage was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with all the essentials we needed, including milk, butter, coffee, sugar and other little touches that made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived.
We especially loved meeting all the friendly animals around the farm, and the farm cats were absolutely adorable. They brought so much joy to our stay.
One of our favourite memories was sitting around the campfire at night under the beautiful sky full of stars. It felt peaceful, relaxing, and like a true country escape. It was such a lovely opportunity to slow down and enjoy nature.
Thank you so much for creating such a warm and welcoming place. You can really feel the care and effort you’ve put into the property. We’re very grateful for this experience and made some beautiful family memories here. We would absolutely love to come back again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Clarence River Wilderness Lodge
We love CRWL and have camped and paddled a few times before. This time we booked the two cabins together for a family Mother’s Day gathering and really loved the rustic cabins in the private space with wonderful river views where we have seen quolls and rock wallabies before. Sharon and Stephen went above and beyond to ensure our comfort with masses of firewood for the huge shared outdoor fireplace with seating, and for the two small indoor fireplaces, as well as providing a tree to plant for our Mum and access to starlink. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Clarence River Wilderness Lodge
We had a most peaceful and connecting stay in the cabins at Clarence River Wilderness Lodge. We were nine, with three doing their own camping, so we booked the two cabins for the other 6 of us, which worked perfectly. The hours spent around the well set-out campfire! Cooking, chatting, some arts and crafts, walks up and down the river, swims (yes! in May - chilly and very refreshing but not too cold), canoeing up and down the creek. We saw t least ten different bird species, and two goannas leisurely strolled past our camp. Sharon came by for a friendly drop by one evening and we heard a good bit of the history of the area from her. Altogether and relaxing and refreshing trip.

We had such a beautiful time here. The best spot for some R&R! Surrounded by beautiful bush land and a good spot for a swim in the river right out the front.

2 nights at Scribbly Gum secluded bush camping
I spent a beautiful and peaceful few days at the River Shack. The Shack was super tidy and well organised, right on the banks of the river. I had a family of wombats, amazing birdlife and 2 platypus for company! It was totally serene - a fantastic place to escape and recharge.

Weekend Trip to Wattle Valley Farm
It was one of the decent camping i ever have. All facilities are convenient, nice hosts(includes host’s daughter lol), genuinely clean and neat. I checked in a bit late but still kindly instruct me everything I need to know. Great milk, cave walk, bush walk. Everything was perfectly fit for camping beginner to expert. I would recommend and 100% coming back for exploring more :)

1 night at Warrawong On The Darling
I have stayed at Warrawong a couple of times now, this time I had a king single room. The room was well equipped, good amenities and a comfy bed. I would definitely be using this option again in the future.

2 nights at Warrawong On The Darling
Beautiful location and lovely verandah and camp kitchen from where to enjoy the outlook. Found the cabin cramped with no room for second beside table and reading lamp. Good for a short stay with nice walks around the property.

The perfect spot to camp with non-campers! The site had the most stunning views of the valley with nearby creek access. Level ground to pitch tents plus three double bedrooms in the house. Campfire pit and JB and family made sure we had plenty of firewood. Kids (and grown ups) had a ball exploring the grounds and creeks and watching the stars at night.

The Bunkhouse: It’s spacious and cleanThe kids absolutely loved the indoor hammock—it was the favorite "chill spot" after a long day of exploring.
The Horse Experience: This was the highlight of our trip. The horses are beautiful and well-cared for. Our kids had the best time getting up close to them at the fence and going on a guided ride. The Shanti and Gav were fantastic—super patient and nice, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the saddle. strongly recommending the horse riding and troopy safari

We had such a lovely experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived.
The location is beautiful, with the creek running nearby, it was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy nature.
My kids had a great time exploring the surroundings and playing by the creek.
We’re already looking forward to coming back!

We had a fantastic stay at Scribbly Gum Shack! The shack is in a beautiful location overlooking the river. Equip with all the basics, we had a perfect weekend ‘camping’ without having to worry about bringing any gear other than linen, food and drinks. Phil’s communication and hospitality were awesome throughout the whole experience. We can’t wait to visit again soon!

Phil’s place by the Mongarlowe River is a great place to relax and enjoy some tranquility. The river is really beautiful and the tracks around the property provide for a nice walk if you want to stretch your legs. Definitely recommend.
