Welcome to Undercliff Farm: A Place of Peace, Simplicity, and Connection.... At Undercliff Farm, we invite you to embrace the quiet beauty of a truly special place. This is not a park or a luxury retreat; instead, it’s a private campground where nature's tranquillity reigns, offering an opportunity to step away from the fast pace of modern life and reconnect with the land. Here, we value simplicity over luxury, connection over convenience, and the soothing embrace of nature over material comforts. As you arrive at the farm, you’re not just stepping onto land — you’re entering a sanctuary. The sweeping landscapes, teaming with diverse wildlife and serene campgrounds, offer a peaceful haven where every moment spent here becomes a journey toward renewal. From the song of the birds to the quiet whispers of the wind, this is a space where you can truly unwind and reset. Respecting this place is at the heart of our philosophy. Whether you're hiking, camping, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, we ask that you do so with care, preserving the harmony of this environment for future generations. Please also be mindful of our biosecurity measures, including the restriction of outside wood to protect our ecosystem from invasive species. By working together, we can ensure the continued health of Undercliff Farm's precious wildlife and natural beauty. We’re delighted to share this unique space with you and encourage responsible pet ownership, a commitment to safety, and respect for all guests. Take a moment to breathe deeply, explore, and create lasting memories in this peaceful corner of the world. A Haven for Motorbike Enthusiasts. Trackside at Undercliff Farm is designed with motorbike riders in mind, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy the thrill of riding on our expansive 325-acre property. The 10 designated sites, marked by tyres around plane trees, provide a comfortable and accessible base to rest after a day of adventure. Located a short walk from our amenities and shelter, Trackside offers easy access to everything you need while remaining immersed in nature.

Welcome to Emu creek Retreat One of the best destinations for hiking, camping, bushwalking, swimming, Kayaking, fishing, mountain bike riding (bicycles only), bird watching, 4wdriving and even fossicking, since the old gold mining town "Lunatics" was not far away from us. Dogs, men's best friend, are definitely welcome. If travelling in a 2wd please contact us before booking, some of the campgrounds have to be reached by crossing the creeks, Girard camp is one of them where the office and the showers are, at times this crossing is under water and is only accessible by 4wd. Other campgrounds are available near the entry gate that don't require a creek crossing for access and toilets are available on some of them. One side of the property is bound by Emu Creek and the other by Girard Creek, both creeks have enough water with some permanent deep water holes for all year activities. Sightseeing inside the property we have Girard Falls, a 50m deep waterfall, nature at it's best. The only entry into the property is by Emu Creek Rd a gravel road. Emu Creek Retreat is located in the far north-east of New South Wales. We are approximately 200 km from Brisbane, Toowoomba and Gold Coast, 150km from Byron Bay. Tabulam is the nearest town 12km away. Fuel and groceries are available at Tabulam along with a post office, pub and police station. Casino is 68km away and Tenterfield 78km. Once a working cattle property, in the 90's was converted into a camping and 4WD park. Since 2017 has been a family own and operated property, pet friendly, we are using the existing large camping grounds to convert it into a camping paradise. Two properties combined with close to 2800 acres, fronting Paddy’s Flat Rd for 2km and extends 7km to the back fence bordering a 22000 acre cattle property. The front section is undulating with plantation forest (spotted gum) and bushland, towards the back it has mountains, steep terrain and millions of trees with spectacular views and great hiking tracks.

3 nights at Barachi by the Creek
This little tin shack is like going back in time to stay in a timber-getter's lodge. It is full of rustic charm and nestled at the foot of hills, beside and (importantly) in the shade of a stand of large beautiful camphor laurels, with a small creek running below. It really is camping without the tent, but has everything you need in the way of a solar shower, long-drop loo, tanks of water, solar lights and a small fan, gas cooker and large bbq, outdoor firepit, and even a fire-heated outdoor bath to enjoy under the stars, or in our case, a full moon. The deck is large and comfortable with chairs and a hammock which we spent a lot of time in, and the solar nights that come on at night make for a lovely vibe. The wind in the trees and the sound of the wind chime was so lovely to hear and fall asleep to at night, and the cool night's in the comfortable beds made for great sleeps. Being a tin shack, it does get quite hot especially late morning/midday, but we found shade under the camphor's and loved watching the cows come up close. The creek was really low when we were there as there hasn't been much rain, but it would be so beautiful when flowing in rainy months. Whian Whian Falls is less than 10 minutes away for a lovely swim to cool of, and we dined at the Channon Pub too which is recommended. The kids (3 and 1) loved the space to explore, cows to watch, creek and bath to splash in, and fireside hangs. Peter was such an amazing, responsive, friendly, and kind host.

My husband and I along with our 2 dogs had the most peaceful, relaxing stay on Peter and Tania's property. Relaxing on the deck and watching the cows graize in the lush, rolling hills was so serene. Cooling off in the nearby creek, watching our dogs play was so special. Thank you to Peter for meeting us and showing us the way. Definitely need a 4wd. We would love to come back again.

Barachi by the creek is an absolutely magical place. Peaceful, secluded and surrounded by natural beauty while giving you everything you need for a trip away without all the mod cons. Pete and Tania are speedy and effective in communication and are awesome hosts. Cannot recommend this enough. You will not regret your decision to book. Bit of a walk down and back up but that was part of the charm. Earn your holiday!

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek
We had the most incredible night at Peter and Tania's cabin! The cabin was so decked out with everything we needed and the beds were comfier than the ones at home! The dog and the kids loved the creek, we hiked and explored the paddocks :) A big storm rolled in and we all watched the lighting from the porch and all slept so cozy with rain on the tin roof! Solar shower was perfect to give everyone a wash! Beautiful property and very private, we will most certainly come back again! Peter was so easy to communicate with and made sure we were all set. Great experience thanks so much 🙏🏼

2 nights at Barachi by the Creek
This was a great place to stay for our family, which included our dog who could roam around and was really happy. We loved the serenity, exploring the creek/surrounds and unplugging from technology - cards and Yahtzee are a must! The barbecue was great for cooking and I recommend doing a fire at night. The accommodation is as described and I would definitely recommend the buggy ride down/back for luggage. If you do want to go back to your car and do some exploring around Modenville, it is a fair walk (30-35 mins) from the shack so be aware of that if you have younger kids or are not that mobile you probably just want to hang out down at the shack. Only small negative was the shower was pretty basic. Peter and Tania were great as well, make sure you have a chat and ask any questions. Overall - highly recommended.

Absolute perfection. Peaceful, abundance of wildlife, beautiful creek and the shack is the ultimate rustic cabin experience. I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like we were in a scene from Man from Snowy River. Absolutely beautiful! Tania and Peter are such a lovely couple who have thought about everything you may need. They know the terraine better then anyone and ensured we got to the cabin and home from the cabin safely. This is definitely a place that we will be coming back to again and again and would recommend this to anyone who wants to step away from everything and do nothing but relax. Our 10 & 12 yo kids can not wait to come back and neither can we. Thanks again Peter and Tania. Was so perfect!

"We spent the weekend at Barachi and absolutely loved it! Even though the weather was a litte wet, the hut kept us dry and warm. The beauty and peacefulness of the location more than made up for the weather. Peter was a welcoming and helpful host — checked in to see if we assistance, when things got a little wet. The property itself is a great place to unwind and enjoy the natural surroundings, the hutr has nearly everything you could need. We felt really looked after and came away feeling relaxed and refreshed. Private and highly recommend a stay at Barachi — we’ll definitely be back!"

Barachi by the Creek was the most perfect place to get away and unwind after a busy Term 1. Peter and Tania have created an inviting space filled with all the rustic charm of simpler times. It really is a magical glamping experience:, one we were very pleased to swap our camper trailer for, for a few days. We highly recommend Barachi for the perfect peaceful getaway.
