Welcome to our 90-acre Macadamia Nut Farm, fondly known as "Logbridge," located just east of Bauple—the birthplace of the original macadamia nut.

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.

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.
