The Meadow is situated on the Hoskinstown Plains. The property offers long views across the plain and the surrounding rolling hills. The camp-site is well positioned in the country side below the foot hills of Talaganda nationl park but only a short 10 minute drive to Historic Bungendore or 30 minute drive to the centre of Canberra . You can expect a quiet and sheltered grassy camp-site with easy access straight off the black and plenty of room to spread out and relax. The sites have some friendly cows and sheep near by and the odd wombat that might pass by swell as vast variety of native birds.

Under an hour from Canberra and three hours from Sydney, our Tiny Caravan is a gorgeous retreat—an absolute labour of love made mostly from reclaimed materials. Tucked away on 83 acres of box–gum grassy woodlands between Bungendore and Braidwood, it’s the perfect spot to unplug, write, wander the kangaroo trails, soak in an outdoor bath under the stars, or simply breathe a little deeper. If you’re keen for a simple, soulful escape, come stay here.

Merigan Farm is a 1400 Hectare (3500 acre) working sheep and cattle farm. Our family has lived at Merigan for more than 50 years. It has been a farm since the 1840s and we still run sheep and cattle in a regenerative manner, to this day. It’s a pleasure to be able to share the countryside and farm with guests. We currently offer two accommodation options: Cherry Tree - A cabin with a beautiful farm outlook. With a bookcase full of books and a fire pit for cosy evenings, it's the perfect escape. The Quarters - A private section of the old farmhouse offering rural charm and a perfectly comfortable stay. Merigan is the name of the local Parish and on Ngunawal country. It has been recounted by indigenous locals that Merigan means Dingo. The story being that Merigan fought the Bunyip and in their tussle created the rivers and creeks across the range. It’s a southern Australian Mediterranean environment with distinct seasons – it can reach over 42 degrees and in the winter its been known often to snow. Sometimes in summer the easterly sea breezes reaches over the range and the smell of sea salt cools the hot evening. Merigan offers a range of activities, to relax and settle into rural life. One of the best ways to get the feel of Merigan is just taking a walk around the property. We have 3500 acres of space to meander around and a great spots for picnics, drinks and photographs. Feel free to use the Tennis Court, balls and racquets under one of the verandas at the front of the house and the bocce court at the bottom of the garden. Bungendore, 18km away, is a thriving little country town with Galleries, gift-shops, cafés, bakeries, coffee shops and bars. The Top Pub (The Royal ) is the more casual of the hotels. The Bottom Pub (The Lake George) has a fancy restaurant attached to the more informal pub area. Braidwood is a funky Heritage town about 25km East of Bungendore and well worth a visit. It has outstanding shops and eateries and 2 pubs. The Braidwood Hotel being my favourite. Tarago is 14km away. The Loaded Dog do meals but mainly on weekends (Pizzas during the week). Best to check as it varies. Other local attractions include Lark Hill Winery, Lerida Estate Winery, Turlla Truffles and Bungendore Woodworks.
