Escape to a bush retreat within this unique lifestyle property. Situated on almost 27 acres of bush, trees and wildlife.
The Gates of Heaven’s boundary goes down and runs along the dasher river. Beulah is a small township on the north-west coast of Tasmania south of Devonport, Tasmania, under the foothills of Mount Roland, Tasmania.
The closest town of consequence is Sheffield, Tasmania. The hamlet of Lower Beulah lies, perversely, higher up the foothills of Mount Roland, to the south of the main township.

🌿 Limestone Valley – Farmstay Camping on the Edge of Mole Creek
Welcome to Limestone Valley, a peaceful farmstay right on the border of Mole Creek township — where the country meets convenience.
Set on our working Red Wagyu cattle farm, the campsites overlook open paddocks, rolling limestone hills, and a clear country creek where platypus can often be spotted at dawn or dusk. It’s a true slice of rural Tasmania, yet just minutes from everything you need.
The township of Mole Creek — with a pub, restaurant, supermarket, takeaway, and fuel station — is within easy reach, and public toilets are available there for campers’ use.
We welcome groups and multiple van bookings, and our sites are large enough to accommodate a few vans comfortably.
Local attractions include the Mole Creek Caves, Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary, Alum Cliffs, Westmorland Falls, and even Walls of Jerusalem National Park for those keen to explore further.
Come and unwind among the pastures, watch the sunset over the mountains, and enjoy Tasmania’s clear, starry skies.
Limestone Valley — relaxed farm camping with a touch of country charm.

Spacious and private. The road is close by, but there is very little traffic. A couple of areas with different seating arrangements were an added treat. Fairy lights around the property were lovely. . Enjoyed the short walks on the property. Perfect location to explore so much in all directions. Glad we stayed for seven nights. So much to see and do..

Great spot. Close to Sheffield and Sandy is a great host. Lovely quiet seating area on the deck and the firepit was perfect for roasting marshmallows.
We stayed a single night as we travelled through the area.
Thank you!

This spot is absolutely amazing. We had the whole stretch of river to ourselves where we could enjoy the crystal clear water and even had some platypus come and say hello. The location was easy to find, clean, and well maintained. There was lots of space for our dogs to run around and the water was easily accessible for them to have a swim.
Adam is a great host who communicates really well en provided clear directions. The views and tranquillity of this site mean we will definitely become regulars.

Clean, easy and good value for money. Just consider there is only one shower, which means you have to wait a while. Stayed for one night.

Almost perfect as a place to use as a base for sightseeing. Go up to Round Hill lookout for sunset...
It needs a cooktop and another shower as well as kitchen sink so that shower, toilet, sink is not all in one room.

What a spot! Beautiful scenery, wildlife galore! Very private & well maintained. No grass trimmings all over the place. Nice space by the creek for fishing, kayaking & paddling. Further along the river is a deep swimming hole.
You cannot even see fellow campers when this is fully booked, plenty of space for kids to run and animals to be safe. We were even granted early access to our site with super fast communication and direction. Certainly a spot worth writing home about.
Thank you!
