We are well-behaved-dog-friendly BUT you must let us know in advance. Our access track to the camping sites has been repaired with a deep layer of asphalt but still best suited to 4WD.

Maximum length is approx 5m. Please scroll through the photos to see our amenities and camping sites. 3. We limit the number of people staying at any one time, so weekends book up quickly. That said, due to Covid and weather, people often cancel at the last minute too, so if we are currently booked out, it's always worthile checking again closer to the date for any availability.

Sleep under the stars, and to the hoot of our local owls, and yips of the gorgeous feather-tail gliders. Lovely, peaceful and private in a bushland backdrop but so close and just a hike to famous sites, beaches, cafes and bushwalking - so the perfect spot to stop, unpack and then go exploring. Max of 3 camp sites booked at a time. Each camp site is within shouting distance of each other, so if looking for absolute privacy, please talk to me first. As bookings come throu

Peaceful, beautiful, very reasonably equipped and prompt response times. Entry driveway a little scary for my small 2WD hatchback, but I got used to it.

Great space! Lots of room. Kitchen facilities, toilet and shower amenities made the camping experience so easy. Even took the opportunity to have an outdoor tub time! Easy to find with great communication from Natasha and only an hour from home. This was the perfect space for a first time camping with our dog.

We stayed at Natasha's property as a stopover while traveling from the North Coast of NSW to the South Coast. It was the perfect halfway place for us to recharge. The warm shower was nice and the level ground perfect. Would have liked to have stayed longer to explore the area. Natasha was prompt in replying to my messages which was very much appreciated.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Natasha's beautiful property. Us and another family booked the two camp sites on the arena and couldn't have been happier with the location and facilities. So much room, excellent kitchen and bathroom, and the outside bath was a favourite for adults and kids alike. In an added bonus we had some fabulous whale watching just up the road. We will definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Otford Park nr Royal National Park

The sites are in a beautiful shady, sheltered spot - could hear wind blowing all night in the trees above us, but no wind in the arena. Very thoughtfully appointed kitchen and bathroom, the luxury shower and outdoor clawfoot bath definitely count as glamping rather than camping. Really the only things you’d have to bring are your tent, toothbrush, and food. Plenty of seating, tables, and huge tub of toys & games for little ones. The friendly horses were a delight, as were the King Parrots who came to visit each day. Stanwell Beach a handy 7 minute drive away. Would love to stay again.
