Fabulous find while we visited family in the area. We are 2Ad in a caravan & loved the spacious peaceful bush setting along with having potable water available. Lovely family friendly property with the small farmyard & fairyland walk for children to enjoy. Thankyou Susan, we're excited for your plans & hope to visit again soon ;)

Highly recommend staying here, is a beautiful place to stay. Loved that there's goats, cows , chickens and ducks roaming and the Fairy track and garden is an awesome idea. Was easy access just have off highway. We have a big 19mtr bus and had plenty room to park it with water access. I even got to see and catch my first ever firefly. Hosts are so friendly and welcoming. Thankyou Susan, Vincent and Eli for making our stay a wonderful one.

Really nice campsite, very quiet even during the busy periods. Heaps of green space to spread everyone out - You’re able to choose your own site. Would advise that if you need to go to the bathroom that you go when you feel the urge as it’s a bit of a walk depending on where you are. Will definitely be coming back here again. Showers and toilets are always very clean and well maintained. Would 100% recommend this site for people as it would be a great place for kids and families.

Nice quiet spot. Well maintained with green grass everywhere. We were unlucky and missed out on the nicer part of the property because of the heavy rain earlier, but Phil still come through with a good spot where it was dry without being stuck just anywhere. Would recommend

Korner’s Bush Escape is beautiful, Phillip has site located in beautiful locations ensuring privacy, shade and close to water. He was the perfect host, helpful but not intrusive. It is a little further from 1770 than I anticipated but it’s a lovely drive, the 4x4 track is fantastic with secluded beaches. Loved our stay.

The site was beautiful to set up for a day or two, without a boat or any water activity equipment I wouldn’t recommend more that 2 days in summer as it’s super hot so can get stuffy if you aren’t spending the days out on the water. Make sure you bring bug spray with deet! However owner was super helpful and does sell it on site with ice and firewood! The facilities were super clean and well kept especially the showers and toilets (they are a bit of a walk from camp) Some more info on the best route in would have been good but we managed to get in on the track beside the farm. We did however leave on the track though the national park to the town which was wayyyyy easier and a lot flatter. Over all a lovely stay and would do again maybe try it out in winter for a few days!

Weekend Trip to Woodlands Farmstay and Glamping

We stayed on a powered site with our caravan so we could enjoy the air conditioning. We had a fantastic stay and so did our 2.5-year-old, who absolutely loved the animals. Susan was an amazing host — she showed us around and even let us help feed the animals. It was lovely chatting with her about the vision for their farm stay, and it’s clear this place is only going to get better and better. Highly recommend!
