Welcome to our river retreat. Ideal for those seeking privacy, peace and solitude away from the socials and technology. Kingfisher's Hut sits on 80 acres of our 240 acre property, on a high bank overlooking the Macdonald River as it makes it way towards the confluence with the Namoi River. Ideally suited for a couple (children and fur babies also welcome) or small groups, and those who are new to a nature escape holiday. A small solar system provides lighting (but not recharging of devices). Our insulated cabin provides a comfortable double bed (bring your own linen and pillows) and pot belly stove for the colder months. Our bush kitchen provides your basic needs with a BBQ, 12 volt fridge, and fully equipped camp kitchen. Our open fire is set up for cooking or for just sitting, relaxing and staring into the flames. Our bush bathroom provides a toilet and wood fired hot shower. Or you might chose to relax in a hot bath overlooking the river. We welcome nature lovers and offer activities such as bush walking, bird watching, native wildlife, swimming, picnicking, kayaking (double kayak provided), catch and release fishing (seasonal and with current Fishing Licence), and big open night skies for astronomy enthusiasts. We are a small farming enterprise and currently establishing aquaculture (yabby) ponds and can offer an introductory tour to those who are interested. The hut sleeps two but there is plenty of room for those who wish to bring a camper trailer or van or pitch a tent. As a working property, you may need to navigate around the odd cow pat! We do ask that you carefully read our rules (see link) to avoid any conflict with neighbouring properties or our attempts at retaining a relatively undisturbed, healthy river environment and not to impact upon our surrounding community.

Well of you ever want to see a platypus this is the place. You can even do it from a hot bath (or toilet 😄). Many thanks to Sue and Phil who were such freindly and helpful hosts. 10 out of 10 would recommend, especially lovely for a winter get away. Oh and the dogs loved the river walks and freedom.

What a wonderful spot. The property is amazing. A perfect bush retreat with platypus, kingfishers, and all the wonder of the bush and country in a secluded setting. Would highly recommend. Phil and Sue are great!

Sue and Phill are exceptional hosts. The camp is just perfect and enough off grid to think you are a world away. Nothing needed as far as kitchen gear and even an innovative hot shower system. Fishing with lures only is not an issue. Patience and a little quiet will see platypus pop up and say hi... wonderful part of this great country.

We can't say enough about this property and the hosts. Sue and Phill are extremely welcoming and kind. They are there as much or as little as you need them with lots of knowledge. The touches and decor make you feel like home. Seriously you won't have a better shower. Our furbabies love having this property all to themselves. We will be back again soon.

Weekend Trip to Peppermint Flat Glamping

We loved our stay at Platypus Tent, Peppermint Flats. The property was private, peaceful and beautiful. We loved exploring the property and watching the Platypus in the creek. The glamping tent was big enough for the three of us and was well equipped. The facilities were clean and the shower was beautifully hot. We would definitely stay again, given the opportunity.

Amazing stay and the host, Sue and Phill are lovely people who thought of everything when creating the hut and kitchen. The hut is comfortable with lots of charming touches and the kitchen has everything you'll need. The shower is one of the best you'll ever use and the outdoor bathtub is nice after a day at the river. The view of the river was beautiful and there were plenty of swimming holes. Hands down the best Hipcamp stay. We will be back soon.
