Welcome to Emu creek Retreat One of the best destinations for hiking, camping, bushwalking, swimming, Kayaking, fishing, mountain bike riding (bicycles only), bird watching, 4wdriving and even fossicking, since the old gold mining town "Lunatics" was not far away from us. Dogs, men's best friend, are definitely welcome. If travelling in a 2wd please contact us before booking, some of the campgrounds have to be reached by crossing the creeks, Girard camp is one of them where the office and the showers are, at times this crossing is under water and is only accessible by 4wd. Other campgrounds are available near the entry gate that don't require a creek crossing for access and toilets are available on some of them. One side of the property is bound by Emu Creek and the other by Girard Creek, both creeks have enough water with some permanent deep water holes for all year activities. Sightseeing inside the property we have Girard Falls, a 50m deep waterfall, nature at it's best. The only entry into the property is by Emu Creek Rd a gravel road. Emu Creek Retreat is located in the far north-east of New South Wales. We are approximately 200 km from Brisbane, Toowoomba and Gold Coast, 150km from Byron Bay. Tabulam is the nearest town 12km away. Fuel and groceries are available at Tabulam along with a post office, pub and police station. Casino is 68km away and Tenterfield 78km. Once a working cattle property, in the 90's was converted into a camping and 4WD park. Since 2017 has been a family own and operated property, pet friendly, we are using the existing large camping grounds to convert it into a camping paradise. Two properties combined with close to 2800 acres, fronting Paddy’s Flat Rd for 2km and extends 7km to the back fence bordering a 22000 acre cattle property. The front section is undulating with plantation forest (spotted gum) and bushland, towards the back it has mountains, steep terrain and millions of trees with spectacular views and great hiking tracks.

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek

Barachi by the creek is an absolutely magical place. Peaceful, secluded and surrounded by natural beauty while giving you everything you need for a trip away without all the mod cons. Pete and Tania are speedy and effective in communication and are awesome hosts. Cannot recommend this enough. You will not regret your decision to book. Bit of a walk down and back up but that was part of the charm. Earn your holiday!

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek

We had the most incredible night at Peter and Tania's cabin! The cabin was so decked out with everything we needed and the beds were comfier than the ones at home! The dog and the kids loved the creek, we hiked and explored the paddocks :) A big storm rolled in and we all watched the lighting from the porch and all slept so cozy with rain on the tin roof! Solar shower was perfect to give everyone a wash! Beautiful property and very private, we will most certainly come back again! Peter was so easy to communicate with and made sure we were all set. Great experience thanks so much 🙏🏼

This was a great place to stay for our family, which included our dog who could roam around and was really happy. We loved the serenity, exploring the creek/surrounds and unplugging from technology - cards and Yahtzee are a must! The barbecue was great for cooking and I recommend doing a fire at night. The accommodation is as described and I would definitely recommend the buggy ride down/back for luggage. If you do want to go back to your car and do some exploring around Modenville, it is a fair walk (30-35 mins) from the shack so be aware of that if you have younger kids or are not that mobile you probably just want to hang out down at the shack. Only small negative was the shower was pretty basic. Peter and Tania were great as well, make sure you have a chat and ask any questions. Overall - highly recommended.

This is the sweetest spot! Tucked in amongst hills and paddocks, private and peaceful. The dog had the best time too. Creek, cows, birds, and quiet. Only regret is not staying longer. Would love to go back.

Absolute perfection. Peaceful, abundance of wildlife, beautiful creek and the shack is the ultimate rustic cabin experience. I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like we were in a scene from Man from Snowy River. Absolutely beautiful! Tania and Peter are such a lovely couple who have thought about everything you may need. They know the terraine better then anyone and ensured we got to the cabin and home from the cabin safely. This is definitely a place that we will be coming back to again and again and would recommend this to anyone who wants to step away from everything and do nothing but relax. Our 10 & 12 yo kids can not wait to come back and neither can we. Thanks again Peter and Tania. Was so perfect!

"We spent the weekend at Barachi and absolutely loved it! Even though the weather was a litte wet, the hut kept us dry and warm. The beauty and peacefulness of the location more than made up for the weather. Peter was a welcoming and helpful host — checked in to see if we assistance, when things got a little wet. The property itself is a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings, the hutr has nearly everything you could need. We felt really looked after and came away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Private and highly recommend a stay at Barachi — we’ll definitely be back!"

Nice and cozy place to stay. I could feel great nature around and the shack was good. Not a long distance to Bangalow town to buy anything I need. The host was friendly and he guided us to the shack. A must place to visit.

Barachi by the Creek was the most perfect place to get away and unwind after a busy Term 1. Peter and Tania have created an inviting space filled with all the rustic charm of simpler times. It really is a magical glamping experience:, one we were very pleased to swap our camper trailer for, for a few days. We highly recommend Barachi for the perfect peaceful getaway.

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek

Beautiful little getaway in a cute rustic cabin near the creek. We were greeted by roaming friendly cows as we arrived. The cabin is set quite far down the property which makes the property feel very secluded. Peter & Tania have everything you need for your stay to give you a bit of a “glamping” experience. Only thing would be is the cabin can get a bit stuffy but if there is a nice breeze then you’ll be fine, there is also a rechargeable fan inside the cabin, we were able to go for a dip in the creek to cool down too. Highly recommended!!

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek

My dear friend was visiting and wanted to go camping. However, we've had a particularly wet year in the Northern Rivers and this weekend was going to be no exception. But we found something so much better than we could have imagined. It had rained so much that Peter had to drive us down in his all terrain vehicle. We were greeted at the bottom of the hill by the cows, the sound of trickling water in the creek, and the only noise for miles was the sound of two excited, giggling females. The shack is great! It has everything you need when you go completely off grid. The beds are comfortable, and let's face it, anything is better than a blow up. There is nothing like going to sleep to the sound of rain on a tin roof. Even in the mud we managed to sit out by the fire, went for a swim in the creek, we did try to fish but I'm pretty sure they heard us coming. There is a little phone reception, just don't expect to be streaming anything. We had Telstra, Optus and TPG and you just have to find the right spot. They are not kidding when they say you need to be an experienced 4x4 driver. Being two adventurous country girls, we initially thought we could probably trek down when was closed to 4x4; yeah, nah! Don't even think about it. Besides, the buggy is more fun! Don't be put off by this though. Tania and Peter have created a great little get away and we will definitely be coming back!
