Welcome to Our Cane & Cattle Farm on the Clarence River
Step onto our four‑generation working cane and cattle farm, where the smell of fresh‑cut cane, the hum of farm life, and the shimmer of the Clarence River set the tone for your stay. Your adventure begins at the entrance, marked by “Rusty,” our old sugarcane harvester — a true piece of local history and a favourite photo stop.
The winding driveway leads you through the paddocks, past different cane varieties and grazing horses and cattle. The front horse paddock will soon become our upgraded camp kitchen and guest area, and we’re excited to keep improving the space while staying true to the farm’s heritage.
Life on the Farm
Days here follow the rhythm of the land and the river. Wander through the cane, taste sweet juice straight from the stalk, and see how sugarcane is grown and harvested. Enjoy bike riding, walking trails, quiet fishing spots, and kayaking or canoeing straight from the property. The Ashby Creek swimming hole offers a calm, sheltered place for a refreshing dip.
Life on the River
This part of the Clarence is famous for water skiing, boating, and long, glassy stretches perfect for exploring. The fishing here is excellent, with calm water and plenty of great spots right from the property. We often boat across to Maclean for supplies, giving guests a real taste of river life.
The sunsets here are something else — short, stunning bursts of colour that light up the whole river and paddocks. As the sun drops, the sky turns gold, pink, and deep orange, and the Clarence reflects it all like glass. It’s a quiet, peaceful moment where everything slows down and the whole farm glows.
Exploring the Clarence Valley
There’s plenty to do nearby — enjoy a meal at the Harwood Hotel, stop for morning tea on Chatsworth Island, or join in local favourites like the Maclean Cane Harvest Festival, Maclean Highland Gathering, Yamba, Iluka and Brooms head famous beaches and the Grafton Races. The Clarence Valley is full of character, history, and country charm.
This is a place for people who love the outdoors, appreciate real farm life, and want a mix of adventure and tranquillity. Whether you’re here to fish, explore, learn, or simply breathe out, the farm gives you a genuine Northern Rivers experience.

Welcome to Our Cane & Cattle Farm on the Clarence River
Step onto our four‑generation working cane and cattle farm, where the smell of fresh‑cut cane, the hum of farm life, and the shimmer of the Clarence River set the tone for your stay. Your adventure begins at the entrance, marked by “Rusty,” our old sugarcane harvester — a true piece of local history and a favourite photo stop.
The winding driveway leads you through the paddocks, past different cane varieties and grazing horses and cattle. The front horse paddock will soon become our upgraded camp kitchen and guest area, and we’re excited to keep improving the space while staying true to the farm’s heritage.
Life on the Farm
Days here follow the rhythm of the land and the river. Wander through the cane, taste sweet juice straight from the stalk, and see how sugarcane is grown and harvested. Enjoy bike riding, walking trails, quiet fishing spots, and kayaking or canoeing straight from the property. The Ashby Creek swimming hole offers a calm, sheltered place for a refreshing dip.
Life on the River
This part of the Clarence is famous for water skiing, boating, and long, glassy stretches perfect for exploring. The fishing here is excellent, with calm water and plenty of great spots right from the property. We often boat across to Maclean for supplies, giving guests a real taste of river life.
The sunsets here are something else — short, stunning bursts of colour that light up the whole river and paddocks. As the sun drops, the sky turns gold, pink, and deep orange, and the Clarence reflects it all like glass. It’s a quiet, peaceful moment where everything slows down and the whole farm glows.
Exploring the Clarence Valley
There’s plenty to do nearby — enjoy a meal at the Harwood Hotel, stop for morning tea on Chatsworth Island, or join in local favourites like the Maclean Cane Harvest Festival, Maclean Highland Gathering, Yamba, Iluka and Brooms head famous beaches and the Grafton Races. The Clarence Valley is full of character, history, and country charm.
This is a place for people who love the outdoors, appreciate real farm life, and want a mix of adventure and tranquillity. Whether you’re here to fish, explore, learn, or simply breathe out, the farm gives you a genuine Northern Rivers experience.

An intimate space of grand proportions. Rockhaven is a 60acre farm hosting angus cattle with beautiful valley views and peaceful surrounds. Wake with sunrise and the sounds of local birds, or settle in for an uninterrupted sunset view across the valley. A place to escape in the hinterlands of Byron, while being close enough to drive less than 10min to the famous Eltham pub, or 15min to Bangalow or Alstonville.
Visit the creek with fishing pontoon, have a beer amongst the cattle, or simply roam the grounds. Fresh produce seasonally available from the market garden for purchase.
We have three social and inquisitive dogs who will likely pay you a visit during your stay. You might also like to visit the goats and chickens while you're here, or come along for daily egg collection.

Loved the whole experience. Easy to find. Had the luxury to pick our own site, had the best spot overlooking the river. Very picturesque views! Plenty of hospitality with squiggles giving us more than enough fire wood. Very accommodating and nice fella. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a chill weekend off grid. Thanks so much for having us squiggles, we will be back for sure!

Beautiful place to camp, had a lovely few nights away from everything! Squiggles is a great host! He lent us fishing rods and a bike for our daughter to ride around on! Really went out of his way!! Definitely would stay again!!

Great property with lovely hosts. This was our first experience using Hipcamp and we had a great short stay.
We got to play with the animals and were lucky enough to be the only guests for our two nights.
When we come to stay again, i would have messaged Trevor a day or so before my arrival to give him some time to mow our spot, as the paspalym was knee high and limited how much space the kids could use.
Looking forward to another visit!

We just spend 3 nights at Brickella with friends. There was only one other camper a way off as there is tons of space. Nice and flat with the wildlife you’d expect plus a very friendly, curious horse that is used to company 🤣 the river was great just a few hundred metres from where we set up. Fish jumping out of the water, just not into our lines. Dump point at Woodburn not far away.
Lovely host Phil popped in to check we were happy and had what we needed. Good access road only about 1.5ks off M2 but no road noise. We had great camp fires each night under wonderful night skies. We will return.

We loved camping here. Beautiful flat grassy area to set up, right on the river bank and listen to the fish jumping and all the birds. Can imagine it would be great spot if you were into fishing. Toilets were clean and a short walk from our camp down the bottom. Easy to get to and would definitely stay again if we are on our up the coast.

Lovely spot on the Bellingen River, very peaceful and a short drive into Bellingen or to the coast.
Google maps is off wanting to send you to the other side of river, but the hosts directions were clear and avoided any problems.

We loved our pet friendly campsite with the most amazing grass, views, camp fire as well as fishing in the Clarence River.
We highly recommend & we look forward to returning again soon!
