Purple Paradise Farm

Purple Paradise Farm is 5 acres of developed farm, set amongst 50 acres of old-growth forest, near the start of the walk to Quamby Bluff and a short distance to the alpine region of the Great Lakes.  

We offer a lovely cabin, surrounded by the forest, providing a comfortable nature-based stay for our guests. The serenity is unmatched, and it's a fantastic base from which to explore this beautiful region.

Enjoy the many walks in the area, fish in the nearby alpine lakes, or cycle on the well-loved biking trails in the area. If you want to indulge your taste buds, join the Northern Forage Trail. If you prefer the dark side, join a caving tour or if art is your thing, mingle in the many art galleries in the town of Deloraine, a short 15-minute drive away.

Alternatively, just sit back and marvel at the birdlife in your private nature retreat where over 30 species have been identified. The property is home to endangered Tasmanian devils, spotted quolls, and wedged-tailed eagles, with the sounds of owls and frogs heard nightly.

Rivers Edge

Rivers Edge is 24 acres of forest on the banks of the Leven River in Gunns Plains, Tasmania. We are in our own little valley surrounded by tall forests. Preston Creek flows all year through our property and meets the large Leven River where your campsite is situated. Perfect for trout fishing, platypus watching, bird watching or catching the sun setting through the trees on the river bend. There are even the endangered black fresh water crayfish.

The site is large enough for up to 5-6 caravans for large bookings, and we only take one booking at a time, so its exclusively yours.

We are only 20km to the nearest town, Ulverstone which as everything you need. 

The road is close by the campsite with easy access to find the property. No toilet facilities at the site. Sat TV is good and limited mobile reception. Telstra works best we've found. 

River access over a rocky, uneven embankment as it's a natural, untouched environment, just how we and the native animals like it. 

Campfires ONLY PERMITTED when fire restrictions aren't in place. You absolutely must make sure your campfire is fully extinguished before you leave.

Please check "My Trips" (in your profile) for directions once confirmed. Look for the 'Rivers Edge' sign on the entrance gate, then you know youve got the right site and not the neigbours property (which is along side mine on the river)

Well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept with you at all times, no roaming dogs as the road is close by and we are a working hobby farm with animals.

We love the peace and serenity here so please no unruly behaviour or parties.
