Emu Creek Retreat

101 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2800 acres · Tabulam, NSW

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. 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 Gerard 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.

The Sanctuary Stanthorpe

2 sites · Lodging65 acres · Amiens, QLD

Great for couples getaways & family groups. This 65 acre private & peaceful Stanthorpe property is a mix of open parklands, bush & rocky outcrops. The granite rock formations are great to climb (for kids, and kids at heart) with some reaching over 8m. The property has walking/cycling tracks (BYO walking shoes and push bikes), dams, and open paddocks, ideal for a family cricket match or picnic. Sit around the outdoor campfire & enjoy crisp nights under spectacular starry Stanthorpe night skies. The bird life is spectacular. Watch the possums, kangaroos, koalas and deer. Sitting by the fire inside the cabin with a glass of wine is a must. Private and peaceful, The Sanctuary Stanthorpe is the perfect spot for nature-loving enthusiasts and those who just need some space and time to relax, reconnect, reenergise and recharge. There are 2 cabins and 1 Barn at THE SANCTUARY STANTHORPE which you can just book individually or for corporate groups, multiple families, and larger group getaways. The 3 cabins are just a 2 minute walk from each other. Please note - You are required to bring your own sheets and towels Other things to note - There is so much to do within minutes of The Sanctuary Stanthorpe. We love Sutton’s Farm (cider, café and juice) good for morning or afternoon . Their apple pies are famous. Check out Stanthorpe Cheese, all 10/10 cheeses as far as we are concerned. Close by also is the Granite Belt Christmas Farm (animals to pet and feed), Law Dogs (they also have a truffle centre), Kent Saddlery and the Stanthorpe Maze which also has mini golf. Two of the region’s top award-winning wineries are just a stones throw away they are Heritage Estate (2021 best Queensland Wine and an unforgettable experience) and Summit Estate Wines, who do a great Friday and Saturday night picnic bonfire soiree. The region has 48 cellar doors. Some of our other favourites, based on the wine, the experience and service in no particular order are Jester Hill, Symphony Hill, Twisted Gum, Ballandean Estate, and Pyramid Wines. Great lunches are available at Jester Hill and Hidden Valley (ask to sit by the lake if the weather looks good but check the menu first, it is seasonal) and also at Heritage Estate has wonderful food and unique foodie events. We suggest you book ahead wherever you go and book for wine tasting in the cooler months. Some places are not open 7 days checking in advance is a good idea.Nearby you will find Anna’s candles and Washpool Soaperie which has a huge range of exceptional hand/body washes, soaps, lotions and potions. Both Anna’s Candles and Washpool goodies make great gifts.There are great places to eat too. O’Mara’s Hotel is not fancy but it’s really good pub food and they make lots of their own goodies. The Country Club Hotel does pretty good pub food too as does the Commercial Hotel. These pubs are in the main street of Stanthorpe. The Aussie Beef Steak House does more than steak but their steaks are spectacular. Hanasaku Japanese and, Orso Thai, both open for lunch and dinner are just exceptional. For something slightly fancier try Varias (it never disappoints), also open for lunch and dinner most days. Try Blue Topaz for crazy good burgers and milkshakes at good prices, or visit blue pot pantry for a casual longer lunch in the countryside. They also have great pickles and jams. Out new favourite is Balancing Heart Vineyard, they do outstanding pizzas, mezze and cheese platters add a bottle of wine and chill out by the lake for the afternoon. Balancing Heart is just minutes from Heavenly Chocolates and Girraween National Park. Hanasaku and the Aussie Beef Steakhouse are BYO wine. We recommend booking in advance for both lunch and dinner.The region has some wonderful national parks to explore. These include Girraween, Sundown and Bald Rock. For a closer and easier “rocky walk” with great views visit Donnelly’s Castle it’s just 8 minutes away. It is very kid/older people friendly and a great place for a picnic. Enjoy rocks, caves and wonderful lookout. Donnelly’s castle is close to Heritage Estate and Boireann Wines and also close to Stanthorpe Cheese.We will consider one dogs per cabin. Please contact us first to discuss. Extra charges apply.Oh, and don’t forget to check out a sunset during your stay and star gazing is a must. Both are spectacular if there is a clear sky and the Sanctuary is the perfect place to gaze at a night sky.

Environmental scientists estimate that it will take the planting of 1.3 trillion trees to sequester the earth’s legacy carbon.
