Fantastic stay! Elizabeth’s place is amazing. The outdoor bath was the highlight and everything else surpassed our expectations. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and all the unique touches to the bedroom made it really homely. Elizabeth went above and beyond with some extras and was very welcoming when we met her (on horseback!) to guide us in. Thank you - we’ll be back!

Lovely spot. The cabin was clean, new and had everything we needed. The hosts even had milk, eggs and berries in the fridge for us. WiFi was available. We didn't use the hot tub but it looked great. We were only staying as a stopover on a long trip but I would definitely recommend it for a longer stay.

The glamping pod was so lovely, well-equipped, clean and cosy. It is quite a distance from the main house on the property and therefore very private.
Great shower and the composting toilet was clean and odour-free.
Gorgeous views over the river.
Everything was as described and suited our needs perfectly.

Weekend Trip to Misty Valley Glamping
This camp is AMAZING. Hosts Jodie and Caz were so helpful. They organised us a hot bath under the stars on the first night. We sat around under the huge camp kitchen which had a large table and chairs, a pot belly fire and an option for another fire under cover if needed. There were also a few games which was great during some down time. The fairy lights and solar lights are not only very practical and provides excellent lighting around the camp, but look so beautiful too. There is a waterfall hot shower, and the huge fire pit was beautiful to sit around and keep warm. Our hosts assisted in lighting the fire and talked us through our camp oven roast dinner - delicious. We were taken on a tour of the property on the Polaris which was great fun. Caz has lots of information about local wildlife and native plants. Although we had some rain intermittently, we had plenty of room to stay warm and dry under the camp kitchen. There is fresh tank water and firewood. Will definitely be back. This would be a great spot for a group booking with so much room. Loved it. Thank you.

Such a beautiful stay.
I booked this off grid getaway for my mum and she had the most amazing time. Warm, cosy, and had everything she needed. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made her feel so welcome. She even got to feed the cows and enjoy a drive in the polaris around their stunning property, which she absolutely loved. One of the highlights was using their outdoor pizza oven—the hosts came up to help get it going so she could make pizzas for dinner. The driveway was easy to access, even in her little Corolla. It was the perfect peaceful retreat and a really special experience. Highly recommend their genuine country hospitality.

We booked the swag site as a last minute weekend away, once we arrived we upgraded to the bell tent and it was amazing!
All the small details and tiny thoughtful touches were magic.
Everything from the warm hospitality of Jodie and Caz to the camp kitchen that was so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The gorgeous outdoor hot shower, the games, the huge fire pit to the gorgeous cows we met 🥰 Their little slice of heaven was so serene and peaceful. We can’t wait to come back!

The best farm glamping sites near Minnie Water guide
Where to go
Minnie Water Beach
Sometimes called Main Beach by the locals, Minnie Water Beach is a 1-kilometre strip of white sand, popular for quiet getaways, fishing, and surfing—especially for beginners. The beach is patrolled during holidays, making it a safe spot for shallow swimming and splashing in the Pacific Ocean. Sign up for surfing lessons near Rocky Point on the north end, or launch a boat from the southern tip for deep-sea fishing. Then pitch a tent or stake a swag at nearby primitive campsites that are right on the water. For a comfortable stay, try a cabin rental or caravan park with electric hookups, toilets, showers, and BBQ facilities just down the road.
Yuraygir National Park
Surrounding the village of Minnie Water on three sides, Yuraygir National Park delivers quiet treks through natural coastal regions teeming with wildlife and ocean views. Angophora Grove walk and Rocky Point walk are popular walking trails. But the best place for watching whales and capturing sunset views on the ocean is from the Tree of Knowledge lookout on the south end of Minnie Water Beach. Campers who want to stay nearby can venture inland for a choice of holiday parks with caravan and tent camping options and several amenities.
Solitary Islands Marine Park
A day trip to Solitary Islands Marine Park, about an hour south of Minnie Water, includes everything from snorkelling and diving to learning about the region’s diverse marine life and the Solitary Islands, after which the park was named. Book a dolphin or whale-watching tour, or throw in a fishing line from one of the recreational fishing zones along the coast. With more than 710 square kilometres to explore, campers can rest easy from a resort-style cabin at one of the holiday parks nearby.
When to go
The milder temperatures of spring and autumn draw the biggest crowds to Minnie Water’s pristine beaches and camping areas. Surfing, diving, and snorkelling are preferable during summer months, while nature lovers like springtime’s bouquet of wildflowers that blanket the terrain. Fall is ideal for stargazing and campfires when the skies are generally clear and evening temperatures are chillier. Be sure to pack binoculars if visiting Minnie Water between June and November—the village has a prime spot for watching humpback whales.
