What a lovely little cabin on this beautiful property! Sarah's place was well appointed with the finer fittings making the whole stay feel quite homely. Was the perfect place to watch the sunset from the deck, overlooking the river whilst having a bbq. The large firepit was a great place to see out the night. The whole camp grounds were very well kept. We can't recommend Sarah's cabin or camp grounds enough. 5 stars. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Fig Tree Camp
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful campsite, and it was an unforgettable experience. The cabin was cozy and well-maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. The view from the cabin was simply breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for a truly relaxing stay. The host Colin and Katrina were amazing, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of animals on the property. We enjoyed interacting with their horse, geese, chickens, goats and even cute piglets and of course their playful dog! It was a delightful experience. Being off grid, the campsite offered a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. The facilities were with a short walk from the cabin, clean toilets and showers that added to the overall comfort of our stay. Overall, this campsite provided a perfect escape, combining natural beauty, excellent amenities, and outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a peaceful retreat. P.S. if you are into fossicking, you can enjoy the gold mines.

Macadamia Orchard Farm Stay

74km from Childers · 1 site · Lodging · Talegalla Weir, QLD
Welcome to our 90-acre Macadamia Nut Farm, fondly known as "Logbridge," located just east of Bauple—the birthplace of the original macadamia nut. Start your day with an early morning stroll through the orchard, listen to the Kookaburras and Whip Birds, or pay a visit to the cows by the creek. Collect fresh eggs or simply relax on the deck with a good book. Indulge in a refreshing rainwater shower, crack open a few macadamia nuts, and soak in the tranquility. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit and enjoy a sundowner in the peaceful countryside. This comfortable, modern cottage offers you the privacy and charm of a 90-acre working farm. Guests are welcome to roam freely, though please note that sheds, machinery areas, and the commercial kitchen are off-limits. Secure undercover parking is provided, and you’ll find easy access through the front gate with entry to the house through the backyard. We welcome pets, with a secure yard for them to enjoy, though they are not permitted inside the cottage. Local highlights include Curra Ridge Horse Riding just 20 km away, the seasonal whale-watching opportunities at Hervey Bay (1 hour away, July to November), and the historic Mary Valley Rattler steam train in Gympie, a 45-minute drive. Closer by, the Bauple Museum offers fascinating local history, and the nearby town of Tiaro—just 15 minutes away—has everything you need with local pubs, eateries, a post office, and a small grocery store.

If you like your beach holidays packed with coastal charm, Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay has a camping, caravan, or cabin site calling your name. Located alongside the Torquay Lakes, with Torquay Beach just a short stroll away, water sports, swimming, and fishing are what your holiday agenda is soon to be all about. In fact, most of the action happens on the water in these parts. Every winter you’ll share the region with the 8000 or so humpback whales who migrate north to the warmer waters of Hervey Bay to have their young – and they put on an aerial performance you can even see from the coastline to mark their arrival. From Ingenia Holidays Hervey Bay, you’ll also be at the jumping-off point to explore the World Heritage-listed Fraser Island, even if only for a day. Onsite, an array of park facilities makes things comfortable for the young and young at heart – a kid’s playground, games room, and resort-style pool to name a few.
