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.

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.

Weekend Trip to Red Cedar Valley

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.
