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.

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.

Debbie was available at all times for anything we needed and Lambert showed us around the amenities which included a very modern bathroom and kitchen inside a large shed that we were lucky to have to ourselves for two nights. Also had some games for the kids and a book of recommendations on things to explore around the area. Lots of mosquitoes though, bring repellent, you’ll need it.

Great communication, clear instructions.
We stayed at sunset in a swag which was a little bit on a slope as you are pretty much camping on a beautiful big sandy rock.
The sunset and the night sky and the gorgeous walks near by, I love the chairs set up at various locations around the gorge.
The accessibility to the property was fantastic, we were unbothered by the host or other campers we had campsite to ourselves not able to hear noise from others.
Other campers did walk by on the way to the gorge and did think the sunset sign was where you went to watch we did invite them to check out the site and I highly suggested to them the sunset spots down at the gorge as I was so amazed by those.
Hard to believe something so magical is only a little over an hour and a bit from Wollongong. The proximity to the townships is fabulous and we will be back to check out the tours of the historic town and attend the local distillery. Next time I think a cheese platter down by the gorge from the host will be required.

Tent camping on lush grass surrounded by low trees and bushes was very private and comfy.
The amenities were well serviced and checked on regularly.

Wow what a stunning property,
So much love and care has been put into this place.
A peaceful forest retreat, not far from the beautiful Sapphire coast.
Very private campsites, with stunning views.
Amazing Hosts!
We were very Lucky to share Pizza on our first night! (I highly recommend doing this.)
On our second night we had a spa and watched the sunset.
Another bonus is the outdoor shower with breathtaking views!
Ours dogs had the most amazing time and quickly made friends with Luna.
We hope to visit again.
Julia, Hil, Milo and Maple. :)

‘Stump no more’ was a good space for 3 tents with a nice view. Definitely 4 wheel or AWD recommended. An assortment of bird calls at dawn. I would like to return again next year to explore more.
