5. Amani Acres

Simple and peaceful camp area, with a river that runs along side the designated camp. Campers need to bring own toilet facilities as none are on site. Cobaki is away from the hustle and bustle of the Gold Coast but close enough to beautiful surfing & swimming beaches as well as epic fishing.

Friendly and helpful host! Alana gave us loads of tips. The spot is quiet despite being next to a road. The horses and alpaca’s were so sweet across the road. The spot comes with a fire pit and secure gate with even ground and lovely grass

Weekend Trip to Amani Acres

Riverside is a lovely spot, level and sheltered (& freshly mown). Plenty of sunshine for solar and beautiful shady trees along the riverbank. The hosts are wonderful, welcoming, and genuinely kind people. There is some passing traffic and the site is close to the road, so I kept my puppy on a leash, but that was a small trade-off for such a convenient, relaxing getaway close to home.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We spent five beautiful restorative nights at Upper Crystal Creek — the perfect place to slow. Peaceful, spacious, and dog-friendly, with our own private creek and shady grass. Fire pit, private shower and toilet made it even better. Georgie is a friendly host. Have already booked our return trip 🌿🐾

Once again another relaxing couple of days by the creek. It was pretty hot one day but the trees provided some cool shade and we sat in the creek to cool down.

We stayed one night only, and it was great for a quick stay away from busy Coolangatta. Site next to the road, but very quiet one. Communication with Alana was great and smooth.

We loved Amani Acres! Such a peaceful, lush & cosy little camp all to ourselves, not too far away from the convenience and hustle & bustle of the Gold Coast & Tweed Heads. We ended up extending our stay! The owner was lovely & friendly but still respected our privacy. Will definitely come back if we’re in the area again!

Weekend Trip to Clonakilty Farm

Great trip, so easy to get to from Brisbane so perfect for a Friday getaway. Well maintained spot, was greated by the owners and then had complete privacy for the rest of the time. The nearby creek was pretty but not quite deep enough to cool off however there are many rock pools and waterfalls 5mins up the road at cedar creek. Pups had a great time too. Thank you!

A peaceful spot with gorgeous views! The property is beautifully kept and the hosts are friendly and welcoming, but also give you privacy to enjoy your stay. The creek next to the site is so picturesque and great for a wander and cooling dip of your feet - if you want more of a swim, it’s only a short drive up the road to Cedar Creek Falls. We stayed with a small group of friends and all of our dogs, and had such a relaxing time. We will be back! Thank you Clair and Andrew.

Lovely, peaceful, relaxing location by the creek. Plenty of space. We like that the owners only take one booking at a time. Our kids loved playing in the creek and being in nature all day. The only downside was a few March flies.

What a beautiful location. There was plenty of room and a lovely little creek. The kids loved building little dams and playing in the water. We got to enjoy watching all the creatures in the water come alive at night. The amenities were clean and very rustic. Was a beautiful little get away
