You will notice the energy shift into the safe embrace of our land, protected by Springbrook Mountain. The location of the Treehouse was chosen by our then young children. We all fell in love with the magnificent camphor laurel tree growing at the edge of the seasonal creek. We all found ourselves drawn to that place, so with the help of our friends and our children we began the project of manifesting a dream into a reality - the dream of living in the tree canopy. As we worked on the Treehouse, the design was constantly changing. The whole family, especially our youngest son, contributed to the manifestation of the dream. During that time we overcame many obstacles and found solutions to build in the tree. It was an adventure, a lot of fun and we learnt a lot. It became a dwelling for our kids for a period of time, until they grew up and left to conquer the big wide world. Now it is here for you to enjoy, to reconnect with your dreams, to dive deep into your childhood playful memories where the world of fantasy and reality merge together. Here you can just be yourself, embraced by nature and view at the world from your Treehouse verandah.

An intimate space of grand proportions. Rockhaven is a 60acre farm hosting angus cattle with beautiful valley views and peaceful surrounds. Wake with sunrise and the sounds of local birds, or settle in for an uninterrupted sunset view across the valley. A place to escape in the hinterlands of Byron, while being close enough to drive less than 10min to the famous Eltham pub, or 15min to Bangalow or Alstonville. Visit the creek with fishing pontoon, have a beer amongst the cattle, or simply roam the grounds. Fresh produce seasonally available from the market garden for purchase. We have three social and inquisitive dogs who will likely pay you a visit during your stay. You might also like to visit the goats and chickens while you're here, or come along for daily egg collection.

Weekend Trip to Brickella

Phil is a great guy with a beautiful property. He was really friendly and cool to chat to but laid back and easy going. The space is so big that you can easily find a private spot to your liking. The mozzies are hardcore but not a problem if you bring some heavy duty bug repellent. There were a few other people camping as it was peak season during summer holidays but we felt secluded in our own beautiful temporary home in nature… will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Brickella

Oh my god. Mosquito central! Phil the host is so lovely, and we really enjoyed staying here but man we were not prepared for the influx of the mozzies. None of our heavy duty repellants cut the mustard, and even our super smoky fires only staved them off for a little bit. We tried to go for a fish at the creek but could only last 10-20 minutes before driven out with bugs. One of our dogs broke out in a huge bumpy rash from them, and you could see a black cloud of them following the dogs everywhere even with repellant on them. We are avid campers, but have never experienced this level of them before. Mozzies aside, the camp site was so pretty. Lovely and flat, with beautiful bushlands around. The more private sites are towards the bushland, otherwise you’re very exposed. The camp was very well maintained and it’s clear Phil puts a lot of effort into this place. There was chopped up wood and limbs all over for firewood and he was more than happy for our pups to run off lead. The camp horse is also incredibly friendly and has to be one of the most tolerant horses I have ever met… not even tilting an ear at our boisterous dogs. We definitely would stay here again, just not any time at all near mosquito season!

This place had some of the best kept grounds I have ever seen at any Hipcamp. The lawns were mowed to perfection. Perfectly level grounds and so much room to spread out for privacy. If you are looking for a private, extremely quiet and peaceful place to unwind, wet a line or just enjoy wide open spaces, this is it. Kangaroos visit at dawn and dusk, along with a very friendly horse. Dogs are welcome too.

Such a beautiful quite place to get away from it all, Aneta and Paul were awesome as I thought I’d booked for 3 nights but had only booked 2 and they were more then accomodating with letting us stay an extra night elsewhere on there property which we were beyond grateful for, would highly recommend staying here as it was so relaxing and peaceful.

Had a great space to setup our Jayco, lots of space and privacy. Phil is a great host who checks in with his guests. We didn't get to fish in the creek, but did go for a drive on the beach around the corner at Evans Head and managed some big bream and dart.
