Welcoming host. Wonderful tidy site. Lovely addition of the animals roaming around (cats and horses). Portaloo was probably the cleanest and most fresh smelling I have ever used. Would highly recommend this site and hope to stay here again in future!

1 night at Take-A-Break Bush Camp

We stayed at Site 5, overlooking the dam, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We loved meeting the friendly cows and farm dogs, and our Labrador, Ralphy, especially enjoyed cooling off in the dam — a perfect escape from the heat. The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere tranquil, and the hosts were just the right balance between warm hospitality and privacy. A truly lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay here! We have a 22ft caravan and two little kids under five and this was a wonderful stay for our set up and family. The kids (and us) absolutely loved the animals and it was a very peaceful couple of nights away with only a very short drive to Yeppoon, which was also beautiful. The eggs that we purchased were delicious too! Thank you so much for having us. We would definitely stay here again :)

We stayed 4 nights on site 2 and it was perfect. So much space for our van and boat setup, flat spot to park, and some shade. The kids loved feeding the pigs and horse, who was super friendly. Katie was very quick replying to messages, and we ended up meeting both her and Paul who are very friendly and relaxed hosts. Location is great, 20mins to Rosslyn Bay harbour for taking off to the islands. Would definitely return. Thanks for having us having us!
