We are on a beautiful 10 acre property with a house that is approximately 20 meters away from the studio. There are lots of fruit trees on the place, including lemons, limes, bananas, mangoes and mandarins! Happily a two minute drive or 15 minute walk to Grassy Head Beach, and you can hear the ocean from our place on most days.

Weekend Trip to Never Never Park
The glamping was a great set up. The property was beautiful with lovely walks to explore including a glow worm walk in the rainforest and gorgeous farm animals to meet. I look forward to camping here again!

We had a great time staying on Janet's property. This is our second time and it's lovely to see all the hard work put into the property.
My son loves the horses and chickens.
Thanks for having us! We will be back.

Good central location for a sleepover between Sydney and Sunshine Coast. Basic, but perfect for one night. Would stay again.

Unforgettable Nymboida Getaway!
Our stay at Nymboida was incredible! Merryl was an amazing host, and the pristine river made for the perfect escape. The highlight? Spotting a platypus and two kingfishers—pure magic! The kids felt so safe, and the canoe adventure was unforgettable. Can’t wait to go back—this time, just with the boys! 😜 Highly recommend!

What a great spot! A perfect place to stop over on our trip up the coast. The caravan has been well maintained, kids loved the bunks, we loved the little kitchenette. All clean and comfy. Thanks Janet!
