Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

Amazing property, Lots of wildlife, I even saw a few platypus, will definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to On the Stone River Retreat

What a breathtakingly gorgeous place! Every direction you look it’s like looking at a painting. Marje has gone above and beyond to provide campers with a safe and comfortable space to connect with Australian nature, and was an incredibly kind and thoughtful host for me.

Absolutely loved staying here! Damien and Tammie were very kind and helpful when we had to unexpectedly change our booking date. The views were incredible, site was level, fire pit provided and it was peaceful and private! 10/10

4 nights at The Orchard

We were lucky enough to be staying on the June long weekend and it snowed! Lovely view & great to have the option of a fire.

4 nights at The Orchard

Close to town, but higher! We had beautiful snowfall over the weekend. One shower is way better than the other (the closer one to the roller door). Nice to have a fire.

Weekend Trip to Borenore Billabong Field Days site

We loved our time here, even in the wet weather. Orange, Bathurst and beautiful lake Canabolas a shirt trip away, there is plenty to do should you choose. Mountain bike trails.a short trip away. Water and electricity were easily accessible and there is plenty of space for kids to ride and family explore by foot. The water make a lovely little addition. Super relaxing and we will be back!!

4 nights at Borenore Billabong Field Days site

Great campsite with few others camping. Kids could ride their bikes around and have pretty free range.

Weekend Trip to The Orchard

Great spot for tent camping! We went during winter so the hot water shower was essential. There was also a large fire pit in our corner of the camp so that kept us warm through the night. Tracey was an amazing host; she was very responsive and she made sure we had a comfortable stay.

Weekend Trip to The Orchard

We only got to stay 1 night instead of 2, due to the inclement weather, but loved every moment of our stay. The cool climate was one of our reasons for coming and we were not disappointed. Even had bits of snowfall. In terms of facilities, the bathrooms are clean, hot water is present, fire pits were available to use, and taps / hoses were nearby for washing. There was even an extended outdoor plug we were able to use. Luxury camping at it's finest.

Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

We had a great time staying in our camper trailer at Watton Airstrip. The property is beautiful and the camping areas are very well maintained with generous spacing of sites. Thank you for having us!

Weekend Trip to Cargo Road Wines

Beautiful spot to spend time with family. James and everyone who worked there were very hospitable and made the experience great. Highly recommended the wine tasting

Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

Very nice spot, well maintained. Plenty of animal visitors. Toilet very clean. Looking forward to going back.

Weekend Trip to Watton Airstrip

We had a lovely stay at this campsite. The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the overall atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. Our dog loved it too—he spent his time exploring, resting under the trees, and joining us on walks. It was the perfect getaway to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. We would definitely come back, both for the beautiful setting and the great experience we had.

1 night at Watton Airstrip

The Hideout was a brilliant campsite. A fun drive down but nothing a stock 4x4 can’t handle. A few people around but far away enough to not feel crowded. Bread and eggs were great, definitely recommend adding these to your trip. Damien and Tammie were brilliant hosts and we can’t wait to come back.
