Undercliff Farm isn't a modern park or a luxury retreat; it’s a private sanctuary where the quiet rustle of the leaves is the only soundtrack you’ll need.

* The Essentials: While Trackside is unpowered (generators allowed).
Respecting the Sanctuary
We are merely caretakers of this soil. We ask that you walk softly, leaving only footprints so the wildlife and future generations can enjoy this harmony. To keep our trees healthy and our ecosystem safe, please do not bring outside wood onto the farm.
A Warm Welcome
Good dogs are welcome, and good manners are expected. We invite you to breathe deep, respect your neighbour, and find your own quiet corner of renewal.
Creatures of comfort
• We offer 6 powered sites only.
• Amenities are for your convenience.
• Clean up after yourself and your children.

Figtree Farm at Findon Creek is a 600-acre natural oasis. Tucked away in a tranquil, secluded valley, this hidden gem is surrounded by Long Creek to the south and Findon Creek to the west, while the northern edge extends to the Dedicated Wilderness of the Border Ranges National Park.
This much-loved family-owned farm has a rich history, transitioning from a dairy farm to a beef property. Today, it flourishes with a bio-diverse planting of native trees and a joinery workshop crafting designer furniture.
Cabin at Valley's End is our flagship accommodation at Figtree Farm. Having 3-bedrooms and 3 bathrooms it is an ideal place for a relaxing weekend. The cabin has flat ground on 2 sides which allows for additional campers (up to 20 people).
In addition we offer 3 creek-side camp sites which have plenty of room for large groups; they are all situated on well drained, grassy open spaces beside the creek. In wet conditions you will need a 4WD to access these sites.
Figtree Farm has an abundance of bird and animal life. Here, tranquillity reigns, save for the occasional serenade of our friendly neighbourhood donkeys and the odd rooster. If you wish to wander further afield, Wiangaree is 15 minutes away and Kyogle is a 30 minute drive south. For those who enjoy a game of tennis there is an all weather tennis court (with lights) nearby at Bundgeam Hall.
Figtree Farm at Findon Creek promises opportunities for contemplation, relaxation and fun and it is our wish that you will have many happy memories of your visit here.

Welcome to Undercliff Farm
Step back to a time when life moved slower and the land spoke louder than the world. Undercliff Farm isn't a modern park or a luxury retreat; it’s a private sanctuary where the quiet rustle of the leaves is the only soundtrack you’ll need. We believe in the honest beauty of simplicity—where a starry sky is better than any screen and a shared campfire means more than convenience.
Trackside: A Home for Riders
For those who find peace in the hum of an engine, our 325-acre backyard awaits. The Trackside sites, nestled under plane trees, offer a simple place to rest your head after a day’s adventure.
* By Arrangement: We prefer groups and keep things orderly to protect the peace.
* The Essentials: While Trackside is unpowered (generators allowed).
Respecting the Sanctuary
We are merely caretakers of this soil. We ask that you walk softly, leaving only footprints so the wildlife and future generations can enjoy this harmony. To keep our trees healthy and our ecosystem safe, please do not bring outside wood onto the farm.
A Warm Welcome
Good dogs are welcome, and good manners are expected. We invite you to breathe deep, respect your neighbour, and find your own quiet corner of renewal.
Creatures of comfort
• We offer 6 powered sites only.
• Amenities are for your convenience.
• Clean up after yourself and your children.
• While we do check amenities morning and evening, please let us know if anything is needed.

The Horse Experience: This was the highlight of our trip. The horses are beautiful and well-cared for. Our kids had the best time getting up close to them at the fence and going on a guided ride. The Shanti and Gav were fantastic—super patient and nice, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the saddle. strongly recommending the horse riding and troopy safari

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek
We stayed at Barrachi Camp with a mate and honestly had the best time. It was the perfect little escape from Byron — so peaceful, private, and beautifully tucked away on the farm. Peter and Tania have created something really special there, a cosy cabin that feels completely nestled in nature while still being super comfortable. We loved the quiet, the privacy, and just slowing down for a couple of days. We’ll definitely be back, and next time we’ll bring more friends to share this gem. Highly recommend if you’re after a proper reset.

Several families of ours spent a truly unforgettable Christmas here. There was plenty of space for children to play, and we could also set up tents outdoors. We enjoyed barbecuing together and singing, and it was all very relaxing.
The environment is beautiful and quiet. In the mornings, we could see mist rolling through the mountains, which made the whole experience especially peaceful and refreshing.
The host was very kind and patiently explained how everything worked. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway.

This little tin shack is like going back in time to stay in a timber-getter's lodge. It is full of rustic charm and nestled at the foot of hills, beside and (importantly) in the shade of a stand of large beautiful camphor laurels, with a small creek running below. It really is camping without the tent, but has everything you need in the way of a solar shower, long-drop loo, tanks of water, solar lights and a small fan, gas cooker and large bbq, outdoor firepit, and even a fire-heated outdoor bath to enjoy under the stars, or in our case, a full moon. The deck is large and comfortable with chairs and a hammock which we spent a lot of time in, and the solar nights that come on at night make for a lovely vibe. The wind in the trees and the sound of the wind chime was so lovely to hear and fall asleep to at night, and the cool night's in the comfortable beds made for great sleeps.
Being a tin shack, it does get quite hot especially late morning/midday, but we found shade under the camphor's and loved watching the cows come up close. The creek was really low when we were there as there hasn't been much rain, but it would be so beautiful when flowing in rainy months.
Whian Whian Falls is less than 10 minutes away for a lovely swim to cool of, and we dined at the Channon Pub too which is recommended.
The kids (3 and 1) loved the space to explore, cows to watch, creek and bath to splash in, and fireside hangs.
Peter was such an amazing, responsive, friendly, and kind host.

My husband and I along with our 2 dogs had the most peaceful, relaxing stay on Peter and Tania's property.
Relaxing on the deck and watching the cows graize in the lush, rolling hills was so serene.
Cooling off in the nearby creek, watching our dogs play was so special.
Thank you to Peter for meeting us and showing us the way.
