My property consists of 100 acres with two rivers joining in the property with at least 1 km of river frontage. We are located in the foothills of the Nambucca valley.
Pristine beaches are 20 minutes away, mountains and four-wheel drive tracks are a quick 20 minutes the other way. From here it's 15 minutes to Bellingen, 25 minutes to the famous Pub With No Beer and 5 minutes to the historic "verandah posts" town of Bowraville.
Here you will find beautiful bird watching, animals and wildlife.
Park your car or set up your caravan next to the river where you will wake up to amazing views.
Enjoy a peaceful walk along the riverbank, breathe in the fresh clean air, try a spot of fishing or sit back and enjoy some bird watching. Warm your feet by the campfire in the evenings.
We're located 20 minutes from Nambucca Heads as well as Scotts Heads beaches, and 30 minutes from Taylors Arm. A quick trip up into the foothills will take you to some great 4WD and mountain biking tracks, or you can explore the region and visit the historical Pub With No Beer.
You need to be a self-contained camper with your own camping toilet/shower. There is access to drinking water, a picnic table and rubbish facilities. We recommend 4WDs to access the campsite and the river but 2WDs are ok.

This place is literally heaven on earth. We drove in and were very soon surrounded by cows, horses and the most beautiful birds who came closer and closer as they grazed. The water is the most beautiful pristine water we have seen and the colours are incredible, especially when the sun hits. We spent our last morning watching the fish jump out of the water just completely overwhelmed by the place. We can't wait to come back one day. We just wish it was closer to home.

Peace and Paradise was hands down our favourite stay during our whole holiday trip. From the moment we arrived, Drew and Robyn made us feel genuinely welcome - they are incredibly friendly, kind, and generous with their time and local knowledge. There is a hot shower, a kitchen and laundry facilities, so you can feel fresh while connecting with nature.
We loved the peaceful setting on the avocado farm. We enjoyed a barbecue using the firepit in the evening and had breakfast under the macadamia tree, which felt incredibly special and grounding. Following Drew’s recommendations, we visited a nearby beautiful, calm beach that was perfect for swimming - such a gem!
As proud members of the Avocado Club, we absolutely loved being here 😄 We were even allowed to pick oranges and avocados ourselves, which was such a treat. It was actually the first time in my life seeing an avocado growing on a tree, and it made the experience even more memorable.
One unexpected takeaway: after chatting with Drew, I’ve started buying “imperfect” fruits and vegetables, and I swear they taste better - such a lovely reminder of what really matters.
Peace and Paradise truly lives up to its name: tranquil, authentic, family-friendly, and deeply relaxing. We would love to return and I recommend it without hesitation 🌿✨

Most amazing stay. The views were absolutely incredible and the property is huge. We stayed in the pony paddock at the top of the hill and it was fantastic. The facilities were excellent — we used the kitchen heaps and the shower was always hot with amazing water pressure.
Drewe and Robyn were the friendliest hosts ever. We loved getting to play with their gorgeous dog Bella, meeting the chickens, and eating loads of delicious fruit straight from the trees around the farm. Such a special place — we can’t wait to come back.

We had such a wonderful stay at Wia Ora Crossing. The private campsite made it feel peaceful and secluded, and the creek just steps away was absolutely beautiful. The swimming hole is a real highlight — clear, refreshing, and completely private. It was the perfect place to switch off, relax, and enjoy nature without any interruptions. Thank you Nick for sharing your beautiful property with us. We left feeling recharged and can’t wait to return !

This campsite was absolute magic. The grounds were pristine and peaceful, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy nature. The river was a dream—clean, calm, and perfect for swimming.
We loved sharing the space with the friendly cows and the sweetest horse, who greeted us like old friends. Our dogs were in heaven, running free and soaking up the fresh air.
It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and smile a lot. We felt completely relaxed and connected to the land. Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!

Well what an amazing place Wia Ora is. We didn’t get to see Nick but his communication for our stay and how to get there was fantastic. Nick’s property is absolutely amazing. The stream was clear, cold but not freezing. The cows and horse were amazing to watch, come close to camp then wander across the river to the other side, then late afternoon come back over river to our side and graze until they wandered up to top paddock. We had two cows come up close and even had a lay down by our camp for a fiesta. Had a lovely walk upstream and at times it was only knee high so you could walk in the water. We set up camp under the trees for shade and to be close by the stream. No service so it was so easy to disconnect to city life and worries and relax and enjoy the scenery, our dog absolutely loved the space to throw a stick and the water. Nice drive to Nambucca heads to beach and shops. We definitely will be returning for sure. We stayed a week but would have loved to have stayed longer.
