Absolutely loved this bush camp ! Spent 3 nights here & wished we had more time. Really spacious sites with fire pits. All sites are well away from each other for maximum privacy. Fished in the river & caught mud crabs. Hosts were lovely & really helpful. Highly recommend if you want to walk, fish & chill. 🙌🏼

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful farm! From the moment we arrived, the owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and more than accommodating throughout our stay.
Our girls absolutely loved helping feed the pigs, and experiences like this are exactly why we love farm stays. They offer so much more than being squished into a busy caravan park. The peaceful surroundings, friendly animals, and genuine hospitality made our stay one we’ll always remember. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and would happily stay again!

Great place for a stopover with the top spots being on the mowed lawn section. Make sure you stop at the farm stall on the right between Menilden and the Bruce Highway - fantastic fruit and veg at really good prices. Looked like there was an egg stall on the opposite side of road too.

Menilden farm is reasonably priced and safe to leave the van unattended. Site is level and clean . The only downside, and that isn’t their fault , was and is persistent wind that Bowen seems to produce regularly. Bill
