Coast Farm

Coast and country combined. 25 acre farm is surrounded by other large farms and beautiful countryside as far as the eye can see. - However you are only 2.5 minutes drive to the nearest beach (Casuarina) and shops! The land is elevated, flood free and has some ocean views/breezes. Guests MUST be fully self contained with their own toilet facilities. This must be shown to host on arrival. If you do not have your own toilet you will be asked to leave. If you want to pay a bit extra for your own private ensuite (running water, hot shower, power, lights, vanity and flushing toilet) then you can stay without your own toilet. Cabarita beach (voted best beach in Australia for 2020 and 2021) is only 7 min away, Fingal and Dreamtime Beaches 10 min drive. - When there is a bit of swell you can hear the crashing of waves at night time as you relax. - Camping area is a long way from the street so no noise pollution & no light pollution - with countless stars if there is a clear evening with no clouds. - I do not know how to change 'pets' status on website. But they are only allowed if you describe they type of pet/breed and promise they will be safe on a lead at all times and not roam around the farm doing what they want. Busy weekends they may not be allowed - ask when booking. This site can easily accommodate small or large groups with flushing toilets, hot showers, kitchen and fridge available. There is also lots of Bell - 'glamping tents' for full luxury provided. If someone in your group wants it all 'finished' when you arrive.
