My name is Jason and I am responsible for caring and creating this space.Gondwana Retreat is sacred land. It is sacred to the original people as two rivers meet here which was auspicious, and sacred to me and all that visit. The Aboriginal people used to live and commune here. And now it seems a place where people like to be, and Rest and Rejuvenation - even healing happens here.Since moving here myself in 2014 it has been a place of transformation and change. The land itself was abandoned with rubbish and weeds everywhere when I arrived and with a bit of hard work, some patience and care it has become a place of beauty. It has been returned to much more of its natural and native state. This process of positive change has created a healing in the environment and for myself, and visitors express this magic in the air.Nowadays we are offering meditation, yoga, and therapeutic types of practices in the main home that the land and campsite is a part of. Campers are welcome to join and this really makes staying here an opportunity for exploring these practices if you choose.Be good to share the land and we welcome all to Gondwana retreat!

My name is Jason and I am responsible for caring and creating this space.Gondwana Retreat is sacred land. It is sacred to the original people as two rivers meet here which was auspicious, and sacred to me and all that visit. The Aboriginal people used to live and commune here. And now it seems a place where people like to be, and Rest and Rejuvenation - even healing happens here.Since moving here myself in 2014 it has been a place of transformation and change. The land itself was abandoned with rubbish and weeds everywhere when I arrived and with a bit of hard work, some patience and care it has become a place of beauty. It has been returned to much more of its natural and native state. This process of positive change has created a healing in the environment and for myself, and visitors express this magic in the air.Nowadays we are offering meditation, yoga, and therapeutic types of practices in the main home that the land and campsite is a part of. Campers are welcome to join and this really makes staying here an opportunity for exploring these practices if you choose.Be good to share the land and we welcome all to Gondwana retreat!

Lots of spaces available yet very private. Close to Anna Bay shops and beaches including Birubi Beach and all of the Port Stephen area.
Definitely on the top end of costings though. Could possibly be a little bit cheaper to make it more affordable and fill more spots.

Lovely property, excellent facilities and wonderful hospitality. The caves and brook were lovely and there was plenty of open space for kids to kick a ball and ride bikes. There was some noise from the wedding nearby but the owners make that clear in the description and it didn't go too late. Recommended!

Beautiful spot! The views were amazing and the sunset unreal. Mei and family were super friendly and helpful and the space is very welcoming and inviting. The land is big enough that you feel semi private in your camping spot but with clean and high quality toilets and showers and a great communal area for relaxing, games and sheltering from the weather

Very enjoyable camping area, not far from town. Was easily accessible to access our site, I appreciated the small fire pit for fires. Had a great experience, cheers. 👍

We had a great time at Fame Mountain camp.
The sites were spacious and gave us privacy. On quiet nights, it felt like we had the place to ourselves.
The toilets/facilities were really clean which is such a rarity at camp! Our little ones kept describing the toilets and hot showers as ‘luxurious’.
Each site had a fire pit. The free firewood and Zooper Dooper for the kids were a huge hit.
Beaches and hikes were only a 15mins drive away. Super convenient.
Mei and John were very lovely and made sure we were enjoying our stay. We would definitely come back again. Thanks for having us!

I stayed here for a night before heading back to Sydney, I wish I had time for 2 nights.
Amenities were impeccable, the sites had their own fire pits. I even saw a dear roaming around.
