Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic. We were at site 1 and had great water access for kayaking or swimming. Michelle was awesome and super helpful. The track in was great too.
The sites feel private and are clean. Theres just enough tree coverage too!
We had a fair bit of rain, which is common for the area but as long as you have ample cover/protection it made for a great and relaxing trip. We’ll definitely be back, and will stay longer!

Great site, plenty of shade (and sun for running solar), beautiful part of the river which was well used on our visit for fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Lots of space to spread out. River is saltwater so factor that in your plans for how much fresh water you need to bring. A small rope assisted climb down to access the river directly in front of site, but you could walk up and down the river for other access points. MIchele and Billy were great hosts and take good care of the property and campers.. River is used by the occasional JetSki, fishing boat or water skiing boat but our stay was during summer school holidays …the site is tucked away behind enough trees most watercraft won’t know you are there.

This was our 2nd time off grid with our caravan. It was a very relaxing stay. We were on Site 1 and found it great. Plenty of room. Had the view of both dams. We did go for the hike to the waterhole which was absolutely beautiful when we got to the bottom. Went for a swim. Water was so clear. We found communication with Luvina was great. She was very helpful.

We loved the privacy and quiet of our camp spot. The site was clean & tidy, with toilets, water and fire pit. We were greeted at the gate by our lovely host, and escorted to our site.

Wallaby is a very beautiful spot, with everything that you need. Like other campers we saw plenty of wildlife including wallabies , echidnas wombats, kangaroos and lyrebird. The river is nearby the campsite, and crystal clear. It was great to have a toilet, cold shower, running water to camp, and chairs and tables. We had no problems with access, we had 4wds and the directions were easy to follow.
