The name of our beautiful parcel of land is in memory of our late daughter, Harriet, whom we devastatingly and unexpectedly lost as a baby in 2024. This life changing and incredibly tragic time left our family heartbroken and has made a lasting impression on our lives. For some time even before we were expecting Harriet, we had been working hard to purchase our own little slice of paradise. When we finally achieved that goal, it felt only right to call this special place “Harriet’s Rest.” We believe in the power of nature to soothe, restore, and help heal hearts. Harriet’s Rest is now where we spend time together with family and friends, and we’re honoured to share it with you.

4 nights at Hidden Camp Farm Stay

We had a fabulous time in our caravan on a powered site at Hidden Camp. The owner Callan was very friendly & helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. We had no other campers near by, the property is so well set up in the way everyone is far apart. We felt like we were the only family camping. The kids explored everyday, went swimming in the dam, kayaks were a great hit too. We played Lazer Tag at night with other campers and had marshmallows around our own firepit. The highlight for us city people were the free roaming animals, Camels, Donkeys, Horses, Foals, Cows, Ducks, we had a lot of fun petting them and learning all their names. We will definitely return to Hidden Camp and would highly recommend others to book in. Hidden Camp has powered sites, non powered sites and also self contained Tiny Homes. 10 out of 10 for Hidden Camp

Weekend Trip to Hidden Camp Farm Stay

We absolutely loved this place. It's like a small safari where horses, Camels, Donkeys & Cows, and cows all wander around the property. Absolutely amazing experience, that is something you don't get anywhere else. Must visit a place with very friendly hosts. Couldnt recommend highly enough.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Camp Farm Stay

We had a very relaxing time and the hosts were really great... There's quite a lot of animals roaming around the property and they aren't shy about dropping into camp and introducing themselves... Made friends with a donkey and a few camels! The dam is great for kids swimming... Will be back for sure... If you are thinking taking a break in bush surroundings you will love Hidden Camp!

We absolutely loved our stay, it was our first time staying and we all had a blast. Everyone we met was lovely and friendly. Our kids had such a good time, they loved the animals and feeding them each morning. Swimming and the water slide was definitely a big hit for them. We unfortunately had to leave a day early but we will definitely be returning. The farm is very well looked after and has great facilities. Would recommend staying to anyone who is looking.
