Welcome to our little slice of paradise. Our family farm may still be in its early days, but the beauty that surrounds it is timeless—and we’re excited to share this special place with those who love nature, adventure, and a peaceful escape. Set in a truly stunning location, the property feels wonderfully secluded and calm, yet you’re only a short 7-minute drive from the vibrant and eclectic town of Bellingen. Here, you get the best of both worlds: the quiet of the countryside with the charm and character of town just down the road. The beautiful Kalang River wraps around the property, offering water that’s perfect for a refreshing swim, a quiet paddle, or simply relaxing along the banks while listening to the sounds of nature. Tucked within the landscape is our tranquil Lotus Pond—an ideal spot to glide through the water in a canoe or kayak while spotting birds, frogs, and other wildlife that call this place home. The property backs directly onto Gladstone State Forest, opening up endless opportunities for bushwalks, exploring hidden trails, and discovering the wild beauty of the Australian bush. Just minutes away, Bellingen is one of the Mid North Coast’s most loved towns. Sitting roughly halfway between Brisbane and Sydney. Known for its creative, laid-back vibe, the town is filled with amazing cafés, fantastic restaurants, unique boutiques, and treasure-filled op shops. You’ll also find a well-stocked IGA Bellingen where the deli is famous with locals for good reason. If you feel like venturing further, the regional hub of Coffs Harbour is just 30 minutes away with larger shops and services. The coast is also within easy reach. In about 25 minutes you can have your toes in the sand at beautiful local beaches like Valla Beach, Hungry Head Beach, or Urunga Beach—perfect for swimming, surfing, fishing, or sunset walks. Head inland for even more breathtaking scenery. Around 30 minutes away you’ll find the charming mountain town of Dorrigo, home to the spectacular Dorrigo National Park where you can wander the famous rainforest canopy boardwalk and experience incredible ancient rainforest landscapes. While you’re there, don’t miss the stunning Dangar Falls—a powerful and beautiful waterfall that’s unforgettable in any season.

Fishermans Bend

RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 5 m
Tucked away in the most southerly corner of the property lies a hidden little gem—one that locals quietly whisper about. Rumour has it that just below this peaceful campsite sits an incredible bass fishing hole, the kind that keeps anglers coming back, hoping for that unforgettable strike. Surrounded by nature and far from the noise of the outside world, this secluded spot offers the perfect setting to cast a line and settle into the rhythm of the water. The river bends gently nearby, creating deep, shaded pockets that bass love to call home. Early mornings and golden afternoons are prime time here, when the water comes alive and every cast carries the thrill of what might be lurking beneath the surface. But this place isn’t just about the fishing—it’s about the moments that come with it. Spend the day chasing bass, exploring the riverbank, and soaking up the quiet beauty of the landscape. Then, as evening settles in, gather around the fire, crack open a cold beer, and share stories of the one that got away—or the one that didn’t.

Riverside

RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 5 m
Welcome to Riverside, the very first campsite you’ll discover after crossing the river—and the start of your adventure. True to its name, this site sits right beside the water, offering direct river access and a beautiful natural swimming hole that’s perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. Splash in the water, skip stones along the bank, or stretch out in the hammock beneath the trees and relax while listening to the birds and the gentle rush of the river. Riverside is a favourite for families and groups thanks to its large open grassed area—an ideal space for kids to run free and for everyone to get involved in a game of cricket, soccer, or whatever adventure the day inspires. There’s plenty of room to spread out, set up camp, and enjoy the freedom of the outdoors together. The river itself invites endless exploration. Wander along the banks, search for hidden swimming spots, or spend the afternoon discovering the little wonders of life by the water. Just a short walk away you’ll find the peaceful Lotus pond, a magical place that truly comes alive after dark. As night falls, the air fills with the chorus of frogs and the quiet activity of nocturnal wildlife moving through the bush. Keep your eyes on the treetops too—you might be lucky enough to spot the property’s resident owl gliding silently overhead, adding a little extra magic to the evening. With space to play, water to explore, and nature all around, Riverside is the perfect basecamp for families and groups looking to unplug, explore, and create unforgettable outdoor memories together. From daytime adventures to fireside stories under the stars, this is camping the way it’s meant to be. 🌿🏕️🌊

The Plateau

RV/tent site · Sleeps 10 · Vehicles under 5 m
Nestled on the highest point of the property, this enchanting site invites you into a world where the horizon seems to stretch forever. From here, sweeping 180-degree views unfold—reaching toward Dorrigo in the north and drifting gently across the tree-lined hills to the east. Soft ocean breezes often wander up the valley, carrying with them a refreshing coolness that makes every moment feel calm and unhurried. Awaken each morning to a gentle symphony of birdsong as the first light spills across the landscape. Wander hand in hand to the tranquil Lotus pond, where still waters mirror the sky, or take a leisurely stroll down to the river, where the quiet rhythm of flowing water invites you to pause and breathe deeply. For those who crave a little adventure, nearby access to the State Forest opens the door to winding trails and hidden corners waiting to be explored. And when the day slowly melts into evening, gather beside the fire pit, wrapped in warmth beneath a canopy of stars. Here, far from the rush of everyday life, this off-grid sanctuary offers something rare—a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and share simple, beautiful moments together. ✨🔥🌿
