Weekend Trip to The Branch River Retreat

The house was fantastic! The pictures really don't do it justice! We had the fire place going all night to keep us lovely and warm. Our host Debora was lovely and so accommodating. The site had everything you could ever ask for, lovely views, a couple of good fishing spots and magic scenery. 10/10 would rent again!

Weekend Trip to Bush Paddock near Stroud

We booked the Cabin in Conjunction with the paddock, in order to accommodate the "Non-campers" in our family. I highly recommend you do the same. It was brilliant to finally have those members join us for a family weekend. There are not many places that can provide this. The cabin was cute and cosy and perfectly adequate for a few days stay. It is located right near the communal camp kitchen. The cabin has it's own kitchen so the camp kitchen for us was a place to come together. Cherie has done a great job with the cabin.

Weekend Trip to Echo Farm Cabin Hunter Springs

Tom's cabin at Echo Farm is the perfect spot for some camping in Barrington Tops. The pot-belly stove warms the cabin in minutes while the edition of working toilet is luxury the whole family enjoyed. Being indoors on those windy/rainy Barrington nights should not be taking for granted. There was plenty of firewood around but Tom provided neatly chopped logs for the stove as well which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely recommend the spot for a family that wants to break away for a few days.

2 nights at Echo Farm Cabin Hunter Springs

The shed was a great place to pass the cold Barrington nights. Normally I'd camp in the park but I'm glad I didn't. The pot belly stove kept the place really warm. Nice property with a spectacular waterfall and green pastures full of cows to keep you company. The kitchenette was handy as well as the toilet attached. Decent price for what is offered. I'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Bush Paddock near Stroud

We absolutely loved our time on Cherie’s property. She is a fantastic, and generous host. The location is outstanding and there are so many wonderful amenities. The kitchen facilities, dining area, outdoor fireplace, fire-pit, bathroom/shower, and awnings provide a wonderful ambiance and experience. Our group will be back.

A great place to stay. Lovely cottage, very spacious and comfortable. Deborah is a very friendly host and we hour to be back.

Weekend Trip to Little Brothers Adventure Park

The best camping experience. We spent 3 nights at Dales camp ground (the honeymoon cabin) and we wish we could have stayed longer. It's amazing for adults and kids you will never get bored. The enduro trails are amazing for dirt biking through the mountain, they even have smaller wide open spaces for young kids who ride. So many places to explore. Dale and Cameron's hospitality is 5 star. They are amazing hosts. We can't wait to plan our next trip.

Weekend Trip to The Branch River Retreat

We had such a lovely stay over the long weekend, the views and surroundings were so lovely and peaceful! The place was perfect to relax with friends and enjoy some wildlife. Debora was a lovely attentive host who made us feel at home. Would strongly recommend this place, we will be returning!

Weekend Trip to Echo Farm Cabin Hunter Springs

We had a lovely stay here! Flushing toilet, water tap at back for washing dishes etc and potbelly inside that kept us very warm overnight. The river isn't suitable for swimming, however we just made the short venture to manning river instead. Plenty of fencing so we felt comfortable with our dogs not exploring too far. Plenty of places to walk / explore, and a long 4wd track to explore, however we were able to easily get to the cabin itself in a sedan. The owners were staying in the farmhouse at the same time as us, provided us with more firewood and even gave us some Easter chocolate :) We will definitely be back!!!

3 nights at Echo Farm Cabin Hunter Springs

Great access to Barrington Tops NP and State Forest. Lovely quiet forest, wildlife and relaxing waterfall sounds. All the perks of remote camping with a roof and flushing toilet!!

3 nights at Carawirry Forest Escape

The cottage was a stunning place to spend the weekend even though it rained so we didn’t get to explore as much of the bush as we would have liked. Loved the maps which greeted us with so many surprising options to explore. We walked lyrebird and yowie tracks which were challenging but very rewarding. No lyrebird sightings this time round but definitely worth the climb up the side of the mountain. Had a lovely time chilling with the walleroos in the outdoor tub after that one!

Weekend Trip to Little Brothers Adventure Park

This campsite was an absolute delight! Nestled deep within the bush, the secluded location offered a truly peaceful and private getaway. The 4WD tracks leading to the site were challenging and exciting, adding to the adventure. Our host was incredibly welcoming and generous. He went above and beyond, inviting us for an exhilarating ATV ride and even a target shooting session – a truly unforgettable experience. His passion for the area was evident, and he was eager to share his knowledge and facilities. The cabin itself was well-equipped with ample power and water supply, along with all the basic necessities. The cabin was solid and cozy, providing a comfortable and secure base for our stay. The toilet was clean and well-maintained. The surrounding area boasts some fantastic hiking trails with breathtaking views. It was the perfect place to explore nature and soak in the tranquility.

4 nights at Critterland - Cabin & Camping

Plenty of room to spread out at Paul's camping area. Lovely clean communal kitchen & bathroom. We really enjoyed our short stay and hope to go back sometime. Our dog really enjoyed the off leash stay as well. Paul is a really great host with lots of local knowledge of what to do in the area.

4 nights at Coquun Cottage

Loved my stay at Coquun Cottage. Even better than the photos, real touch of luxury with only cows and birds to be heard. Whether on the deck or in the bath, I cannot fault the place. Stunning property.

2 nights at Cranky Rock Hunter Valley

We loved our stay at cranky rock and are return guests. The hosts have poured so much love into creating a space that is full of character and comfortable for their guests. My husband, myself and our dog Millie were well looked after and loved that the hosts also went the extra mile to make sure we had a enjoyable stay we loved that the extra breakfast items they included of fresh eggs etc. Thank you once again for opening cranky rock up for us to stay on our journey back to Sydney. Alex, Deb & Millie the Staffy.

Weekend Trip to The Branch River Retreat

Loved our time at the little cottage! The place was very clean when we arrived and all the instructions were very clear on how to get there and let ourselves in. We really enjoyed walking down to the river and sitting on the deck with a nice breeze. Debora was really lovely and very easy to communicate with.

3 nights at The Branch River Retreat

The cabin was perfect for what we needed during the Christmas break. Debora is a terrific host and extremely helpful

The Branch River Retreat

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · The Branch, NSW

Our property is private so we ask you to contact us first to ensure we can provide the facilities most suited to you. We are located on a wide river estuary, offering sites in open paddocks, secluded among trees and beside dams. It suits off-road independent hybrid caravaners and tent dwellers. The river is home to mangroves (so mosquitoes feed the leaping fish), all manner of sea creatures and dolphins are frequent in drier periods. Birdlife includes an array of land and waterbirds, such as Eagles, Magpies, Kookaburras, colourful parrots and smaller shyer birds. The wildlife includes kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, reptiles. You may espy a Koala along the foreshore. For this reason, while we accept dogs, they must be on a leash (if not just for their own safety). The boat ramp has good access for kayaks/canoes. Or just sit on a camper chair and dangle your feet in the water while watching the mud crabs go about their social business. Riverside sites are not powered and do not have water or sewerage. They are situated within 10m to 25m of each other and if this is too close, we recommend booking two sites. Generally, we prefer campers to be 100% self-contained, with their own toilet. A toilet is however accessible, but some 300m to 400m distance from the dams and rivers. There is cold potable running water here for topping up. Sealed roads to the front gate to access the property from north and south. All-weather gravel road access is available, although paddock sites can only be accessed by vehicle during dry periods. Weather willing, we can provide more secluded sites by some lovely dams, (please check conditions if you have concerns). Local groceries can be sourced from Karuah and Stroud. Activities include: - Bird/nature watching - Paddling/canoeing - Fishing - Bike riding (small motor vessels only by arrangement) - Surface type: grass or paddock leveled areas and others with slight slopes and accessed with 4WD (of course subject to weather). - Generally fair to good Mobile phone access. - BYO or Preorder firewood for applicable sites out of fire season. - No electrical connections unless by arrangement (for longer term Hipcampers) - We treat our own sewerage. - No generators please.
