2 nights at Rosewood Farm's Riverside Glamping
This camping spot is set in the stunning bushland along the Bargo River. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature and the river, made for a perfect escape. The goats and alpacas added an extra layer of charm to the experience and the short walk down to the river made it feel even more special.
The tent is cozy and comfortable, and the toilet and shower are just a short walk away, Having access to hot water and electricity only a stones throw away was an extra bonus!
it was the ideal blend of nature and convenience.
Our wonderful hosts were attentive and welcoming, and the location was conveniently close to town for any supplies we needed.
This glamping experience is a perfect getaway for anyone looking to relax and connect with nature with the camping experience, and without having to pitch a tent or sleep on the ground!
We will definitely be back again!
Thank you

This was such a great place to spend the weekend. Everything we needed was there and Ben and Melissa were so helpful.
It is located conveniently close to town with plenty of things to do nearby.
Our kids loved the animals and the fire pit. Our hosts even set up soccer goals for our soccer loving son. We absolutely recommend and will be back to enjoy the river in warmer weather.

Ian was an amazing host and his campsites even better. Stunning views across to the Wide Blue Pacific…
Lana (The Dog) was a great mate for Pino (The Puppy).
Ian sets you up with a great camp-dunny and the WiFi was strong & long.

We loved camping at the Dwayne! There was plenty of space for our tent, and to hang out near the fire. The trees protected us from the wind. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Suitable for people with good mobility as there is a bit of a walk through rocky terain to get to your vehicle. We got to meet Lana the 2yr old doggy who was so super friendly with our Staffy! Ian was so helpful and quickly replied to any of our queries. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful night away from Sydney!

1 night at Mellows Ridge
The Bell tent was exactly what we were looking for, a night escape. We had a pizza and some Pinot Gris on the deck before heading back and lighting the fire - will be back!

Great camp site. Ian and Lana were great hosts always available for anything needed during your stay. Nice property just a short drive out of Sydney and our dogs had a great time. Nice views from a few vantage points on the property all just a short hike.

Great spot to immerse into the sub tropical rainforest under the Illawarra escarpment. We stayed for a long weekend with our 6 y.o, and pup Frankie. Rustic but comfortable, the fire pit kept us warm, while the walks to the creek and waterfall were a highlight.
Ian is a welcoming and hospitable host, definitely recommend this spot for a bit of off grid forest bathing within easy drive of Sydney. The freshly baked bread was a treat, thanks Ian!

We loved our stay at the Higher Terrace site at Mellows Ridge. Although we arrived after dark, Ian greeted us at the entrance with a warm welcome and everything we might’ve forgotten. He offered us a mallet to help pitch our tent and provided a lighter and firestarter to help us with our Firewood Add-On (as we promptly forgot to bring them). You get a bucket of firewood, which is enough for about 2 nights, burning about 6 to 7 hrs each night, and perfect for a chilly May night. It got down to 9 degrees overnight, so if you're coming in mid-May, pack some warm nightwear!
The map at the entrance was clear and easy to follow, and we spent a lovely time exploring the trails. A special shoutout to Lana, Ian’s stunningly photogenic and incredibly friendly dog, who took it upon herself to guide us through the Waterfall track, Higher Creek, and the Home Loop path. She’d pop out of nowhere to lead us through the forest like a four-legged tour guide, and she even seemed to know how to pose for the perfect photo!
The portaloo was spotless, and the raised decking at the campsite made it easy to keep our bags and gear off the ground and dirt-free.
There were three of us (plus one feisty little dog) and two vehicles, and we fit comfortably on the Higher Terrace site. It was peaceful, spacious, and a really memorable experience overall.
We had a great time! Thank you for your lovely hospitality, Ian.

Weekend Trip to The Printery
The printery is the most perfect place to stay if you are exploring the northern beaches. The bed is so big and comfy, easy parking and the manly dam at the end of the street, it’s a perfect little nature getaway!
And the best part is the outdoor shower, a real little tropical oasis and you can have a piping hot shower under the stars ✨
J.S is the most amazing host too, very accommodating and friendly, a real gem of a stay 💎
