Weekend Trip to Tiki Hut Creek Camp

A nice quiet spot with swimmable creek close by. Definitely necessary when the humidity starts rising. The facilities were unique and provided everything we were looking for to just unwind and do nothing but relax. Happy to recommend.

Weekend Trip to Ilbilbie Station Farm Stay

Fantastic spot! Beautiful grassy area with plenty of shade and lots of activities to keep the kids and adults entertained. Carmen and Gary went above and beyond to accomodate our stay. We loved the personal experience and effort Carmen and Gary go to, to welcome you onto their property. We will definitely be coming back.

I had a nice stay overall. The place was easy to access, quiet, and comfortable enough for a short rest. Brent was friendly and communication went smoothly. The only thing to note is that the area is close to a meat factory, so there’s sometimes a noticeable smell depending on the wind direction. Other than that, it was a good and peaceful spot to stay.

Wow what an amazing spot. We camped right next to the swimming hole and it was just such a great couple of days. There is a zip line and swing into the water that the kids that were also camping there loved. Lots of cows and horses which gave it a real farm stay. We wished we could have stayed longer. Friendly hosts and good comms. You won't be disappointed.

Great place, fantastic amenities, easy access and great response from Julie-Ann. We had a great time, and our Fur Babies enjoyed the Lagoon and Kayaking immensely.

Such a great spot and we had the place to ourselves while we stopped in on our way home from a big road trip. The facilities are fabulous! Cows were doing zoomies in the night which we loved as we have our own cattle. Obviously there is cow poo all around so it was a fun game finding the oldest to stick the swag between. Will definitely stay again if we get the chance.

We loved this spot so much - great swimming, ripe swing & zip line! Grass mowed and green. Beautiful land, watched the cows and horses. Gorgeous full moon night by the fire. Can’t fault it. Thanks for having us we can’t wait to come back, the kids are already asking when!

We loved our stay here. Had the place to ourselves on lovely we’ll kept grass however still would have been plenty of space if there was 5 or 6 groups staying. Amazing watching and listening to the bird life in the mornings and evenings. Had a paddle on the water and watched the storm roll in. Friendly hosts. We would definitely recommend.

Well set up, friendly and responsive hosts. We loved that you could choose your own spot and there weren't designated spots which can get cramped when busy. Some permanents living there but away from the camping area. We were lucky to be the only ones there. Small creek to cross on entrance so be mindful before booking if theres been heavy rain. Definitely recommend, thanks for having us!

Weekend Trip to Tiki Hut Creek Camp

This location was beautiful, private and large. The amenities were clean and the area went above and beyond expectations. Small walk to the creek or a quick drive to the Cameron’s pocket swimming hole. Will absolutely revisit, we loved this spot.
