Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Escape to paradise at our farm holiday on 125 acres nestled beside the pristine Manning River. This tranquil haven offers a plethora of delights. Experience the rustic charm of a cattle hobby farm and indulge in a range of activities along the river's edge. Swim in deep holes perfect for relaxation, cast a line for a leisurely fishing experience, or explore the waters by paddleboard, kayak or dinghy. Shallow, calm areas are ideal for young children to splash around safely. And don’t forget your water shoes for the best comfort and grip—your feet will thank you! Embrace nature's symphony with abundant birdlife in a serene and private setting. Explore the undulating countryside, swim in the pristine Manning River, and stargaze under beautiful skies. With a diverse range of accommodations from camping to glamping in a cosy log cabin or even in our historic church, we have something to suit everybody. Our amenities, including toilets at various locations and a rustic bush shower, ensure your comfort in the great outdoors. You also have a private fire pit - subject, of course, to weather conditions. Escape to our idyllic farm holiday, easily accessible by bitumen road, with a quick 5-minute drive from the general store serving barista coffee, hot meals, and fuel for your adventures. Only 20 minutes from the historic town of Wingham with its plentiful cafes, this hidden gem on NSW's stunning Mid North Coast is perfect for a peaceful getaway. Located just 2.5 hours from Newcastle and 4 hours from Sydney, it’s the ideal spot to unwind, reconnect with nature, and experience a truly memorable escape. Book your stay now! Note: 1. You can reach the church with a 2WD vehicle, but camping and log cabin sites require a 4WD (not AWD). In adverse weather we may allocate you to a more suitable site. 2. The river currently has some weeds close to the banks.

Historic Woodside Church 1869
Beautiful off-grid church stay
We had a great time staying in the old church. My 7 year old enjoyed delivering regular sermons to her heathen parents from the pulpit, complete with massive bible! The set up is completely off grid so make sure you bring plenty of food, a good cold esky, water and pre-charged devices if you can’t quite go electronics free. We had a lovely daily swim down at the river. Graham even gave my husband and daughter a ride with his friendly old dog in tow in the farm jeep up from the river one day which my daughter loved. Highly recommend this as an off grid get away!

Graham and Chris were lovley hosts who accomodated our needs at their camp sites. The wood fire shower was great and facilities were always clean and well maintained. We had some lovely days enjoying the Manning River, swimming and kayaking. A very quiet and relaxing place to visit.

Our camping trip was fantastic! Chris and Graham were so kind and helpful, especially when we accidentally left some things behind. We really appreciate their generosity they’re truly wonderful people. The location was peaceful and serene, which made the experience even better. It was an unforgettable trip, and we loved every minute of it!"

Middle Camp
What a beautiful place. Graham and Chris are very welcoming while giving you your privacy. Middle camp had lush green grass with heaps of space. There a great fire pits and amenities are a short walk. All very clean, functional and well thought out. Their access to the manning river is great, we spent the whole afternoon chilling there. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who is after some peace and quiet in the countryside.

Middle Camp
Easy Camping in the country.
Graham and Chris are lovely hosts and do a great Job making Camping at their place comfortable. The two camp areas are close but sound did not carry. Amenities were good.Its a lovely valley with paddocks around full of beautiful cattle.It was further from the river than we expected but we had a great time.
