Our venue and campgrounds are situated at the old Jimna State School property. The school closed in 2009 with the last students attending in 2006. It was then sold by the Qld government and has been rezoned as a Camping, Recreation and Events Venue. We have retained all the old school facilities for our campers to enjoy. There is a children’s playground and multi-purpose tennis court for everyone to enjoy. We provide tennis rackets, balls and basketballs free of charge to our campers. There is also no charge or fee to use the court. On most Sundays afternoons (weather permitting), we have social tennis where everyone is welcome to join in.
The old school toilet blocks have the addition of hot showers and all toilet facilities are the flushing type.
Campfires are permitted and there are small mobile fire pits provided so wherever you set up camp you can have your campfire right beside you.
Note: There are no ground fires permitted and at certain times of the year Qld Rural Fire brigade may enforce a total fire ban.
We have our “Caffeine Injection” kiosk on-site for the weekends and school holidays. Get your morning caffeine fix as well as bagged ice, firewood, ice creams, snacks, cold drinks etc etc
Then we have the old school principals residence aka “The Bush Holiday House“. It is fully self-contained and all linen is provided.
Just BYO food & drinks. We offer this for one night stays and longer.
Jimna is a tiny town immersed in the Australian bush; with nearby gorges, ravines, creeks and waterfalls - some wild & spectacular places to see.
What better place to base yourself and explore our part of the Conondale National Park, Jimna State Forest... be it on foot, horseback, motorcycle, 4x4 or mountain bike!!

Once a vineyard and winery, this property is now a private airfield and contains one little cubby house for guests to relax, unwind and soak up nature.
This 150-acre property encompasses the northern face of Mount Archer and flatlands to the north. It hosts an abundance of native wildlife along with beautiful creeks and waterfalls after rain.
You can fly or drive into the Cubby House. It is tucked away at the foot of the hills with views of the valley to the north with no man-made structures in sight.
It is on the cabin on the property and the main residence is a few minute drive away. You feel like you're in your own world.
If the smell of the freshly cut runway grass gets you excited, give the team from sticknrudder.com a call to check out this beautiful area from above. They'll taxi a plane right up to your front door and if you wish they'll let you take control under the guidance of one of their instructors!

A Beautiful off grid, solar powered mountain retreat with a running creek, plenty of Birdlife and other wildlife like deer who roam through from time to time, platypus, turtle and fish in the creek, a great place for bird and nature watching. If a digital detox is what you're looking for, the Serenity on Delaney's is your answer.
We are a multi-generational property, so you may see some of us wandering or driving around the property, these tracks are not close to the cabin site, but definitely in view of it, we'll definitely be mindful and respectful of your space and privacy while you stay with us. We also have a lovable short haired border collie named 'Benji', he will probably follow you down to the cabin and soak up as much love and attention as he can, he's harmless. We've tried to contain him in an enclosed area before, but he'd give Houdini a run for his money, please just rouse at him to go home.

The cabin was a lovely spot and the cows came to visit us. Creeks were empty which was a shame but we loved the quiet isolation

We spent two nights at the cattlemen’s cabin for a family adventure. Had a fantastic weekend - we loved it here. The kids loved the creeks, riding on the property on their bikes and cooking marshmallows on the fire pit. We hope to return again someday.
