Our second stay at Christmas Creek Bush Retreat was just as incredible as the first. The property is absolutely stunning, with large, spacious, and well-positioned sites that feel private and peaceful. The host’s communication was excellent, and we were lucky with beautiful weather, which made the trip even better. We brought friends along this time and they had an amazing experience too. Definitely one of the best sites we’ve stayed at in the Scenic Rim through Hipcamp — we’ll absolutely be back!

We had a beautiful weekend at Selah! We had a large group of us but the mountain view site was super spacious and allowed us to spread out. We had the most amazing view of Mt Warning in the mornings with the clouds, it was perfect! The team really went all out to make our stay enjoyable, from feeding the cows to farm fresh eggs and swims in the creek, we’ll definitely be back!

This might just be one of the most beautiful Hipcamps we’ve ever stayed at. The creeks were stunning and perfect for a swim, and the sites tucked along the water with natural shade made it such a peaceful, relaxing spot. Lush green grass, loads of space, and not overcrowded at all. The toilets were spotless too. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back! 🌿✨

This was a great, quiet camping area with views of the surrounding mountain ranges. Hosts were lovely and offered some mangos/fingerlimes from their trees! Sites are all in view of one another but there is plenty of space and you won’t feel on top of people at all. Has Optus reception too which is a bonus.

The camp area was really well looked after and tidy, amenities were great toilet and shower clean. There was a little less water than I would have liked bit it was still running. This was just mother nature. Great little area, Thanks Georgie I would recommend your place to other guests wanting a nice quiet place to stay.

The best HipCamp we have ever stayed at. Everything is perfect about this place. We stayed in campsite 1 which is quite large and on the rivers edge, 10 steps and your in the water. The other two campsites are so spaced out you wouldn’t even know anyone else is there with you. The friendly cows made the trip even better. So peaceful and so serene. Going to sleep listening to the running creek was lovely.

Site 5 was secluded and beautiful. Camp is in perfect condition. We didn’t have to wear shoes at all as the grass was like a well maintained lawn. View of the creek was spectacular and wildlife was abundant. Plenty of shady trees and creek access was good.

We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, very well maintained, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating. We stayed with 4 adults, one baby, and our dog, and everything was perfect for our group.
We absolutely loved the views and the overall vibe such a special place to relax and enjoy nature. Due to the hot weather, we asked to change from the mountain spot to the river, and they were more than happy to help and make it happen, which we really appreciated.
We truly had the time of our lives and will definitely be coming back many more times. Highly recommend!

Massive campsites, so you're not on top of one another, yes they are pricey and not for everyone, but worth it if you want the space, peace and quiet, the ground's are immaculate, and what's not to love camping beside a creek.
