"The Orchard" is located at Crafty Cider and SMART Animal Sanctuary "The Orchard" is in the beautiful Kunama valley located 10 minutes from Batlow and 30 from the wonderful town of Tumbarumba. Set your camp up in our small Cider Apple orchard over looking the dam and our beautiful 55 acre farm. Get close up to the camels (Houdini, Sadeek and Gobi), Check out our beautiful big highland steer called Jimmy, Roger the donkey always likes a bum scratch, and see the many other animals that live here at Crafty Cider & SMART Animal Sanctuary. Kick back and listen to the quiet around you, enjoy the sounds of the birds and farm animals. "The Orchard" is a beautiful peaceful 5 minute walk down a gravel road with big trees to our Cidery where you can taste and take back to camp some of our cider or sit and have a drink while watching the animals being fed. Maybe book a tour where Tony will show you how we make our cider from the orchard to the bottle and Lorene will show you the amazing animals. You can always jump on your bike and head out on one of the many tracks in the area. You will need to be self sufficient and have your own toilet, water etc. There is no power in The Orchard. Due to people using the orchard as a toilet we are now no longer taking people tenting. You MUST be self sufficient. Head in Batlow to check out the bakery, RSL and Pub and admire the beauty of this small town. Or head upto Tumbarumba where you can visit the Winerys and Ginnery, have lunch at Coroubya wines,The Nest or one of the many cafes. Maybe take the challange of the Tumbarumba rail trail. Check out the water falls, the blowering dam and take in those beautiful mountain views.

We had a fantastic Christmas stay at Wayne’s place. Riverfront, mown grass, dogs off leash as long as they stay in the campsite bubble, river floating and fishing. What’s not to like. We will be back. Thanks Wayne.

What a beautiful riverside location! Wayne and his dogs were so friendly and welcoming and the directions and signage to the camp were clear and super easy to follow. We arrived Christmas Eve and were able to get a great riverside spot for 3 nights of tranquility with our dogs. It filled up pretty quickly with more campers on Boxing Day, but we left the next day, so it wasn't an issue for us. We will definitely be back, keeping the 'peak dates' in mind. Thanks Wayne.

This was a really beautiful spot to camp. Lots of birdlife, open space. We camped right up by the waters edge and enjoyed a sitting in the river. The sunset view from the top of the hill was well worth the walk up.

Wayne was awesome to communicate with and met us on arrival at his beautiful property. Gorgeous river and spacious campsites to choose from, nice and green despite being nearly Christmas. Local town close by for all you need. The platypus in the river remained elusive for out short one night stay. We will be back!

This place was a gem. Set right beside a flowing river, it’s clean, well maintained and has plenty of space. Seeing the cows wander past and the working dogs stopping by made it feel extra special. Peaceful, unique and very enjoyable.

Site 4 is larger than the other sides and is reasonably level. However, you’ll need to leave the caravan. This side is also very private compared to the others.

Amazing farm stay. We would 100% recommend. It was peaceful, relaxing and the views are magnificent. We took a stroll up to the top of the hill and watched the sun set. Absolutely stunning.
