Weekend Trip to Riverview Lodge Glamping
Beth is the most welcoming host, she gave super clear instructions to make sure we could get to the property ok.
The property wow! It’s very private, overlooking the river and is just gorgeous. The bath was such a brilliant touch!
BBQ, shower, toilet, hot bath, fans, blankets, a fridge, kettle - whatever you need for your stay it is there!
I really cannot recommend enough, beautiful views!

1 night at Eden Vale Shearing Shed Camp
This was an epic stay with a cozy fire, everything you could want in the kitchen, a cool river crossing and cows to spend time staring at. Wished we booked more than one night. Everything was super clean and well cared for, only oversight on our behalf was that there wasn’t any reception for internet connection but we didn’t mind we spent the night playing board games by the fire

Weekend Trip to Riverview Lodge Glamping
Fantastic stay! Elizabeth’s place is amazing. The outdoor bath was the highlight and everything else surpassed our expectations. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and all the unique touches to the bedroom made it really homely. Elizabeth went above and beyond with some extras and was very welcoming when we met her (on horseback!) to guide us in. Thank you - we’ll be back!

2 nights at Riverview Lodge Glamping
The glamping pod was so lovely, well-equipped, clean and cosy. It is quite a distance from the main house on the property and therefore very private.
Great shower and the composting toilet was clean and odour-free.
Gorgeous views over the river.
Everything was as described and suited our needs perfectly.

Weekend Trip to Barachi by the Creek
We stayed at Barrachi Camp with a mate and honestly had the best time. It was the perfect little escape from Byron — so peaceful, private, and beautifully tucked away on the farm. Peter and Tania have created something really special there, a cosy cabin that feels completely nestled in nature while still being super comfortable. We loved the quiet, the privacy, and just slowing down for a couple of days. We’ll definitely be back, and next time we’ll bring more friends to share this gem. Highly recommend if you’re after a proper reset.

Was a great spot for the week away camping!
Great landscape, with the BEST SUNSETS, nice and peaceful apart from the odd mooing from the cows 🐄 open fire with wood supplied (at a cost) by John.
A lot of flies, which is to be expected so if you don't like flies may not be the camping spot for you.
Gets very hot out the back, so take some sort of gazebo to relax under as no shade.
Nothing was a problem for the hosts John and Victoria. We had a few unexpected issues which were rectified very promptly. This was very much appreciated, considering it was over Christmas.
One negative thing that I wish was better, and hopefully could be fixed for the next campers
** The outside door needs to be fixed so it can be locked shut because it bangs and creaks continually on windy nights, which unfortunately we had a few nights of, over our week long stay. Didn't make for a restful sleep at all.

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!

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 🙏🏼
