1 night at The Mango ranch
We had a really great stay here. The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. When we were going to grill, he not only came over to help us get everything ready, but he also sat with us while we grilled and we had a wonderful conversation. He even let us borrow some of his own kitchen equipment when we were missing a few things. Small gestures like that truly make a big difference.

Peaceful spot with secluded sites, a friendly host who introduced us to the gorgeous cows and the stars at night were amazing! Town is only 9 minutes away with a fantastic park for kids and good meals at the local pub (who also serve great coffee at the front cafe in the morning). A great stop over for us with two little kids!

We love the quiet, well cared for grounds of the Rockhampton Waterski Club. We arrived around 2pm and the caretaker was happy to assist and chat. He has asked if people are running late for arrival that they make a quick phone call so he is informed. He's a nice chap and obviously works hard and retires early of an evening. We would definitely stay again.

A quiet rural location on flat ground with camping within the cleared bushland setting, or open orchard. Multiple shaded areas, and plenty of open areas to recharge the solar batteries. Sealed road right up to the property. Google maps will get you there. Look for the driveway with the Thyme Travellers signs and flag. We are 10klm from the beaches of Emu Park on main highways - 14klm to Yeppoon, 30klm to Rockhampton and only 4klm to the outdoor Tree House Tavern in Cawarral where you can have lunch in the beer garden with a drink or 2. A 15 minute drive will get you to the marina where you can catch the ferry to Great Keppel Island where you swim and snorkel with the dolphins and turtles or just marvel at the abundance of fish and marine life. On our property, fire pits are provided free of charge for quiet nights under the stars. Bags of split fire wood can be purchased from the office. 3 covered camp kitchens, with free gas BBQ, are located within easy access to wherever you camp. Different varieties of chickens are located around the property, within their own yards, and hens free range after 2 pm ( our 1 remaining rooster is caged ) with gentle Clydesdale and Percheron heavy horses, Australian Lowline (miniature cows), Pygmy, and Nigerian Dwarf goats to pat. Self shedding sheep spot the property. Permanent shower block with 2 separate gas hot water showers - with further basic shower units dotted about should you not wish to walk to the central showers, but with good pressure and gas hot water. Permanent flushing toilets. Portaloos are also dotted around the property. Pet friendly, but must be on a lead due to livestock. Potable water, but no hook ups to vans due to high pressure pumps. We a still a work in progress - adding further environmentally friendly amenities, more fruit trees, purchased with the recycled bottles and cans, and a playground to come. Having only opened to the public in April 2024. NO electricity available. Office is located at the far end of the driveway into the property. Although we are only small - we are still a working farm - meaning that sometimes - we are not on call all the time. Please be patient - we will return your messages when time permits - Thankyou
