Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Such a nice quiet spot. Hugh met us on arrival and showed us around, also provided plenty of free fire wood. We'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Great property, so much space to roam, lots of privacy from other sites.

Weekend Trip to Foxes Den

Such a peaceful camp spot — exactly what we needed for a relaxing break. Plenty of firewood provided, which made for some great nights around the fire. Communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything easy. Highly recommend if you're after a quiet spot and a good fire

1 night at Casa Cucina / River House

This place was such a nice escape. Tucked away on a quiet, private part of Chris’s farm, it felt like our own little slice of nature. You can really tell Chris cares about the space. There’s even a little shelter built to keep out of the weather, which came in handy. My son and I camped right by the river, which was beautiful. We didn’t even have to worry about firewood, Chris had a big pile ready for just $10, which made things super easy. We actually ended up staying an extra night because we were enjoying it so much. If you're looking for somewhere quiet, relaxing, and a bit off the beaten path, this spot is a gem.

Weekend Trip to Castella River Farm

Lovely property. Lovely host. Lovely time. We especially loved 'discovering' a hidden path leading to 2 little chairs by the river - great spot for a pre-dinner glass of wine.

3 nights at Casa Cucina / River House

Idyllic spot. Super private. Never saw another person in the 4 days we were there, so that felt nice. Relaxing listening to the bellbirds and kookaburras and to hear the alpacas having a chat was quite funny. You get a bit of traffic noise, but the quiet, relaxing spot overrides that

The mud turrets are the home of endangered land yabbies and Lyrebirds have been seen in the area. Feral deer have come to inhabit nearby properties and sometimes wonder down the track.
