Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

There are also plenty of roads to ride and explore via mountain bike or foot.
The road in is a little rough, and there is only a small amount of levelled land. But it is still an amazing spot, where nature does all the hard work, and I would love to share it with people.
This is the perfect place for those who want to be in total peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and wildlife.
Each campsite is private, where by you're the only camper able to book the site. Some are more private than others - Read each description for details.

The Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic, that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year). The building also houses toilet and shower facilities for guests when camping on site. On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

There are also plenty of roads to ride and explore via mountain bike or foot.
The road in is a little rough, and there is only a small amount of levelled land. But it is still an amazing spot, where nature does all the hard work, and I would love to share it with people.
This is the perfect place for those who want to be in total peace and quiet, surrounded by nature and wildlife.
Each campsite is private, where by you're the only camper able to book the site. Some are more private than others - Read each description for details.

The Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was established in 2018 as an organic garlic farm now owned by James and Michelle and their two children. The farm features a hempcrete building named 'The Stinking Rose' used for drying and curing garlic, that also acts as a big room for garlic feasts during planting (March, April and May each year).

On some evenings, the sky puts on a real show of golden sun rays with pink, purple and blue clouds while swallows flit across the garden beds catching moths. Our guests like to sit around their campfires watching the spectacular show while kids and dogs run around without the burden of leashes or noise of city traffic.

Lovingly developed for 15 years as a mindful refuge & wildlife corridor by Victoria, a filmmaker/permaculture designer, the property was completely destroyed in 2018. Thus the mega bushfire cycle began impacting forever most of NSW's flora, fauna & people. Nature ultimately prevails & slowly the untamed terrain is healing.
After studying at RMIT School of Architecture & Design for three years with the intention to design tiny living house systems better suited for harsh environments, Victoria has returned. Slowly she rebuilds a humble off-grid existence from the burnt-out bus fusing knowledge of building design with her food forests/aquaponics passion, keen to create an environmentally connected experience to share with like-minded others.
By staying you are helping her & all the wild things emerge from the ashes.
Thank you.

Amazing place, super quick and easy to get to but feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere. Pitch was huge, so much space. Great facilities incl fire pit, bbq, big table and chairs, composting toilet, water to wash hands and even a little smores package on arrival! Can’t wait to come back

Perfect location, loved staying on this property. We enjoyed daily swims in the river, the site was private and well maintained with camping neighbours nowhere near our site.
Vallance and his family were so very friendly and hospitable and we will come back many a time in the future.
Plenty of morning and afternoon shade at the site and because it's a new site there is a huge amount of firewood for campers to utilise.
Nothing negative to say.
Dream camping trip over new years, peaceful, with a mega bonfire put on for guests to celebrate the new year.
Park and trampoline were perfect for kids.

What a great spot with everything we needed and heaps of space. We had a caravan and 3 kids. Rob provided a water connection and power so we were happy campers! Pool was delightful and the kids enjoyed the 3 dogs that joined us in the afternoons. Peaceful, no fuss, no stress, happily recommend.

What an incredible stay! The land itself is beautiful - you feel at peace the moment you drive up 🌿 It's also full of wildlife, loved the kookaburra chatter, and had a cruisey goana mooch his way past the site, said hello on his merry way 🦎 our dogs also had the best time exploring the land.
Victoria herself couldn't have been more friendly and helpful if she tried 💛 and her wee pup Echo is just the best!

We love the freedom of having dogs, fires and a swim in the river. There are no pre determined sites so first in best dressed! We have probably stayed here 6 times now and I think it might be our favourite

Gina & Shawn were a pleasure to deal with. Really gorgeous camping grounds. Compost toilet was clean and easy to use (following instruction from Shawn!!). We were given a s’mores kit upon arrival which we really enjoyed. Would 100% stay again!

Our stay at Hartley Vale Garlic Farm was amazing. We turned up after a full day of adventuring and it was the perfect spot to just relax and take in the view.
Michelle was such a generous host and made us feel really welcome. Even though there were other campers on the property, everyone had plenty of their own space and kept to themselves, so it still felt nice and private. The toilets were also great and kept really clean.
If you’re into garlic, you have to stay here. Michelle let us try some from the farm and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. It tastes so real and raw compared to what you get at the shops.
We’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back again.

Lovely set up of the campsite. Very serene but super close to town so easy to stock up on groceries. Hot shower is a plus. Rob and the doggos are super friendly hosts! Definitely recommended.
