Beautiful, flat, glassed camping area with fire pit and spectacular view. So much space between campsites & Sarah was a wonderful host. Possibly my favourite hipcamp thus far.

Feel the spaciousness! Our pitch at Abrahams

Sarah's place is superb. Fabulous views across the valley to the mountains opposite. Abundant birdlife. Swaggers and Mango sites may have the best views, but we had Abrahams - which also has great views, but benefits from having lots of privacy. The nearest other site was maybe 100 metres away. Only four sites on a huge property. I loved the copious supply of free firewood. We had a fire each night. It was so peaceful. Hardly any bother from mozzies or midges. There may be no showers, but we really enjoyed our stay here. After some harsher nights camping up in Queensland, Sarah's place restored our faith in camping as a peaceful, soulful way to spend ones evenings, nights and days. Superb. Thank you, Sarah,

1 night at Riverdell Farm

It was just what we needed. an overnight stop on a long road trip, no fuss, peaceful, flat space with views of the river over the road. Paul guided us in and left us to it. There is no shade, but it wast a problem for us. Perfect for our needs. The rooster had a bit to say in the morning, but not a big deal.

Lovely grassy spots for our dogs under the shade of trees

Great location and accommodation. The only minor comment would be that the beach is off limits to dogs even though the accommodation is.

Great friendly staff, site had what we needed. It poured with rain so having the communal kitchen was a lifesaver and it was very well setup. It’s a well run facility and very easy to recommend.
