Grasstree Ridge is our little slice of heaven; 150 luscious acres of tropical bushland, just off the coastline of Bloomsbury, QLD. Our convenient location puts you one hour north of Mackay, forty-five minutes south of Airlie Beach, or head inland to Finch Hatton, fifty-five minutes. Effectively, we are in the middle of some gorgeous spots & popular tourists attractions! ⛱️ 🏞️ We have fresh water creeks a short drive from the property to cool off in, just ask us for directions to them during your stay! Lucky for us, Bredl's Wild Life farm is just around the corner! (12km) Take a selfie with a wombat, cuddle a koala, or brave holding some freaky reptiles-plus much more! 🐨 And for the thrill-seeking adventurists, Airlie Beach Skydiving is only twenty-five minutes from the property, are you brave enough? 😉 If that's not you, and you're just looking for a taste of the quiet life, then bring the boat and your fishing gear, and get ready to catch some tasty reef fish! The Midge Point boat ramp is only a 15 minute drive from the property. However you choose to spend your day, you'll be happy to know that also in the beachside town of Midge Point, you'll find the Point tavern, for delicious dinner and cold beers! And for only a five minute drive, you'll find the 24hr BP service station, with a bottle shop open 10am-8pm. They also provide hot showers! The property is roamed by many farm and wild animals! Keep an eye out for the gorgeous wildlife amongst the property, as you may be lucky enough to see an echidna or a dear! We have domesticated donkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, birds etc-please note our animals are free range so please ensure you secure your food and belongings. And don't worry, they're all very friendly and love a pet! 🐷🫏 We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful oasis. 🍄✨

A great place to rest overnight or a type of base camp for those wanting to explore the Mackay and Whitsundays. Several areas available for travellers to park, which are quite secluded from one another. This 160 acre former sugarcane farm is undergoing land regeneration and repairs of the creek edges. Encouraging areas that lend themselves to water soaks. Guests are welcome to leave your camper/caravan/tent here while you explore the region, and it will be quite safe. You cannot explore or adventure on my property. People travelling with horses are welcome, the host runs a small agistment business and has some holding paddocks and watering facilities. The entry has some restrictions for longer vehicles, so please discuss this the host before booking. No toilets available, travellers must be fully self-contained and take all waste with them. Most pets are welcomed after discussions. Price is for up to 4 guests! Only 1 vehicle permitted per site, however open to discussion.
