Lavender Hill is a 34 acre property on the outskirts of the historic town of Wingham. Since purchasing the property in 2021, we are developing permaculture gardens, a fruit orchard and a camping area with a small herb garden, where we lived in a caravan for 9 months.
Lavender Hill is our home and we ask campers to respect our property and our neighbours.
The converted hay shed provides an undercover area with a table and chairs. It is wheelchair accessible. A gas BBQ is available for an extra cost per night. Firewood is supplied at arrival and more can be purchased. Nearby, there is a composting toilet and hot shower, with a stunning view! (not wheelchair accessible, sorry). Water is available for washing up, but not suitable for drinking or cooking.
The price listed is for 2 adults. Please talk with us about family rates.
We have a small herd of cows, 10 chickens, 1 rooster and a farm cat called Pippa. Eastern grey kangaroos graze in nearby paddocks in the early morning. Birdsong fills the morning air.
From the camping area, and many areas on the property, you can see the Comboyne mountain range changing colour throughout the day. Everywhere you look, you can enjoy beautiful views. See 360 degree sunrises, misty mornings, stunning sunsets and the magnificent night sky. Evenings, mornings and nights are peaceful and quiet, although you might hear the lowing of the cows or the rooster staking his territory if you wake at night.
Paths are slashed through the paddocks if you want to enjoy a leisurely walk or bike ride around the property.
Enjoy a range of fresh produce including an organic range from local shops in Wingham, delicious meat from local butchers, sourdough bread, health foods and great coffee, meals and gifts from popular local cafes and shops, and if our chickens are laying, some fresh eggs.
Launch your boat onto the Manning River in Wingham, and explore the National Parks that are within an hours drive, including Ellenborough Falls and cafe.
Fall in love with Wingham and the Manning Valley as you explore on day trips to Gloucester, Wauchope, Old Bar, Blackhead and Forster.
Please note: We are near the sporting complex, where they race go carts, and near the rifle range, which can generate some noise some days between 9am and 4.30pm.Bring your van or tent and choose a place to camp on a grassy flat site with easy access to the camp kitchen, the converted hayshed, and toilet/shower block (not wheelchair accessible). Enjoy distant views of the Comboyne Mountain range, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, local bird life, occasional wallabies, swim in the dam, camp fires and the huge night sky. BYO drinking water. Water is supplied for washing up only.
Please message if you want to discuss extra people for family groups or small gatherings. No noise policy from 9pm any night, to be respectful of neighbours and because we also live on the property.
