*UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT*
Unfortunately Barry has moved further south and left "Peaceful Hideaway" but we are under new management. Ben from Central Queensland and Lupe from Argentina have recently taken the reigns and are eagerly looking forward to hosting further guests.
Our property is situated on the North Coast of NSW, 1.5 hours south of Byron Bay in a glorious climate. It is unique because we have 5 acres of land, lots trees for shade, mowed grass and Eastern Grey kangaroos visit morning and evening.
Situated in a very quiet neighbourhood, no street lights, magic night skies but only 10 minutes drive to local shops in Maclean, 15 minutes to Yuraygir National Park, fantastic views at Brooms Head, 15 minutes to Yamba's renowned surfing beaches. Did I mention fishing? Clarence River, ocean beaches, boat ramps only 10 minutes away.
Only a small number of campsites which ensures that you have space to spread out, light a fire, play ball, have fun.
We have a toilet and water available close to sites. Suits tent camping, camper vans, caravans or vehicles. Plenty of room for boat parking if needed. You are welcome to bring your dog, as long as it is under control, and cannot chase our kangaroos. Birdlife in abundance as well, including 3 Wedgetail eagles on occasions.
In order to provide a quiet environment for everyone we ask that there be no loud music at night. Consider others in the locality at all times.

Cinnabar River Retreat
Where the mountains meet the mighty Clarence.
Nestled along the mighty Clarence River, Cinnabar River Retreat offers a private, peaceful escape surrounded by mountain views and country charm. Our off-grid stay is completely powered by solar and connected with Starlink Wi-Fi, giving you the best of both worlds — modern comfort and nature at your doorstep.
Your booking includes both the main house and the hut — perfect for families or groups.
The House
Our spacious farmhouse comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests across four bedrooms:
• Two bedrooms with queen beds
• Two bedrooms with queen beds and bunk beds
The home features a large open kitchen and living area, complete with a TV, Thermomix, and pod coffee machine — perfect for relaxed country meals. The bathroom is wheelchair-friendly, and all linen is provided.
The Hut
For those wanting an authentic bush experience, the hut accommodates extra guests with two sets of bunk beds (suited for swags) — $30 per person, per night.
It also includes a large open fireplace ideal for camp-oven cooking, plus a table and dartboard for a true rustic retreat.
Farm Life & Activities
Cinnabar is a family-run working cattle farm, so you may spot our cattle and working dogs in action. We welcome pets, but kindly ask that they are kept on a lead for everyone’s safety.
Enjoy kayaking, swimming, and catch-and-release fishing in the Clarence, or simply relax and soak up the peace and quiet.
The closest pub and general store are in Copmanhurst (46 km) — a great spot for a hearty feed and a cold beer. The nearest supermarket is in Grafton (76 km).

The Good Life Camping

At The Good Life, we’re big on personal space. Every campsite is large, private and genuinely secluded, giving you the feeling you’re a long way from everyone and everything. Your own patch of paradise. No caravan awnings poking you in the eye, no surprise drop-ins, and no listening to your neighbour’s snoring, generator or life story. Bliss.
Forget your phone alarm. Your morning wake-up call is the local kookaburra choir having a proper laugh at life. This is a true back-to-nature escape for anyone needing to pull up a stump, slow right down and properly unplug. If bird watching, stargazing or simply doing sweet nothing is your idea of a good time, you’ll fit right in.
Dogs are very welcome. Keep them on a lead while you’re wandering the property, then let them be their goofy, happy selves back at camp. Campfires are practically mandatory. Every site has its own fire pit, and if you burn through your firewood faster than a pollie breaks a promise, we can sort you out with more for a small fee.
Now for a quick reality check. We’re not the Hilton. In fact, we don’t provide any amenities at all. No toilets, no showers, no bins. Think of The Good Life as a safe, private slice of bush that feels like the middle of nowhere, because it pretty much is. You’ll need to be fully self-contained and take everything you bring in back out with you. Leave only footprints and good memories.
What you do with your time is entirely up to you. Park yourself in a camp chair with a book, wander the farm, or lace up your boots and explore around 70 acres of bush tracks. When night falls, the stars put on a serious show and the silence is so complete you can actually hear yourself think.
There’s no phone service and no Wi-Fi. Consider it a feature, not a bug. It’s the perfect excuse to ignore your emails.
If you feel like venturing out, the Orara Valley and Coffs Coast offer stunning rainforests, beaches, waterfalls and swimming holes, all within a 30-minute drive.

The hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable, they recommended site 6 to us and we were absolutely glad they did. It was very private and just an amazing place to stay.
Our dog was able to run around freely without any distractions as the site is very private and away from all other sites.
Nana Glen is a beautiful place, it has a very quiet country town feel, there are so many great water holes to explore and some great 4WD spots.
It’s only a short 30min drive to Coffs Harbour for major shops and 30 mins gets you to many different amazing beaches.
We would absolutely stay there again and are already thinking about our next trip.
We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for an amazing camping place.

We booked this site on incredibly short notice and have absolutely no regrets. The moment we showed up we were greeted with big smiles and fresh eggs! We were so shocked considering we gave them only 30 minutes notice of our arrival. Our site had just been taken by someone else, but Ro directed us down to a site next to a little stream and pond. It was just what we needed for a few nights to get some washing done and have some downtime. The Firepit was excellent and there was already a heap of firewood for us to use. We had a heap of fun trying to catch yabbies and identify frogs. The hosts were so lovely, and even checked if the nearby mowing was too annoying for us. We felt so welcomed here and are excited to come back and see all the amazing things they have planned for this camp.

Beautiful and quiet place on the Channel. 2 x Campsites were a good distance away from each other so great for privacy.
Felt secure and safe as security camera upon entry.
Great place to relax or venture from for local activities.
