Loved the remote and quite stay just around the corner from all the buzz at the coast. The place is very well kept. Sadly didn’t see any Platypus in the creek.

Peaceful and lovely views around farm. The cows were lovely to wake up to and were everywhere. Friendly though and some cute calfs. The information given before and after booking is a little confusing, as it depends where you camp as to what instruction to follow. I had messaged Tom prior to going to ask questions, but never received a reply. Once I got to the farm I called Tom, as I did not know where to go as I was in a converted minibus 2W and not all areas were suitable. However, Tom was not that helpful when I asked and just said he had been too busy to reply to me and to just go anywhere and that I’d be alright. Felt a little like he wasn’t too bothered, which surprised me given the previous reviews I’d read and how helpful Tom was. Maybe caught him at a bad time….. price wise, I thought it was a little expensive given that toilets are the only amenity. I had only paid $10 more in the area for power and water hook up, but guess you’re paying for the views and peace instead! That said, we did enjoy our stay and our chosen spot was really nice. Toilets are close by and clean enough.

Beautiful place to camp. Well spaced out (we barely saw anyone while staying), perfect views, beautiful creek. Portaloos accessible from all of the areas we looked at and were clean and looked after - I saw Tom checking them all while we were there. Access to firewood for $20. Great fire barrels. Lovely spots to walk through. Tom was really helpful. Easy drive and lots of spots are accessible for 2wd. Recommend going for a walk around the property as there are some spots we found after setup that would've been lovely - so we've picked our spot for next time! Loved the place and we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

We loved our stay at Sleepy Hollow Manor! The property is incredibly peaceful, and waking up to cows grazing right outside the van was such a cool experience. The location is perfect too, so close to Pottsville Beach and an easy drive to Byron. We had an unexpected issue with our van and had to leave it on the property while waiting for a tow truck. Tom was amazingly accommodating the whole time, with great communication and a genuinely helpful attitude. Couldn’t recommend this spot more. We’ll definitely be back! 🌿🚐🐄

We had a very relaxing overnight camp. There was plenty of choice locations and space to pitch our tent and enjoy a fire. There are port-a-loos dotted around the property so it's never far to a toilet!

I really enjoyed staying at this Hipcamp It was my first ever time doing a solo camping adventure All the instructions on how to get there were very clear and after I set up in a great location Tom came around and checked up on. Everybody made sure everything was fine and although the weather wasn’t great I had a wonderfully peaceful night and was woken up in the morning of the resident Cows. I wished I had a booked an extra night, but I definitely will be back

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

Our dog had lots of fun. Trees provided shade from the sun. The cows went home when the day was done. In terms of towns and beaches, Pottsville was a close one. Campsites were evenly spaced. Very relaxing, the day was slow paced. So many stars in the aerospace. We spent so many hours at the fireplace (2pm until 12am). The toilets were as clean as could be. Our time there was care-free. Rolling hills as far as we could see. Time so fun we forgot about tv. A bit scary at night… bourgeoisie?

The camp ground is perfect. Just enough amenities to make camping comfortable, shed, fridge, fan, radio, tv, some tables and chairs, undercover area, toilets and shower. Yet rustic enough to still feel like you are camping. Set out so well with area for tents, a camp fire set up and such a beautiful property filled with a chorus of birds, kangaroos and koalas. Cameron was super helpful and went to a great deal of effort to accommodate the needs of our group and the program we were running with our young people and we really appreciated it. I’m pretty sure that most of the staff were thinking about returning with their families it’s such a wonderful spot.
