A 5 acre secluded island, surrounded by tidal salt water. Great for fishing, crabbing and boating. Another similar area available with 24hr tidal access. 15min from the beaches, shops, restaurants in port Macquarie. Beautiful day drives into the wirakimbee national park or to the comboyne plateau etc.Set up camp wherever you like on the island and enjoy the peace and isolation while wetting a line. Canoes, traps and fishing gear available. One area is only accessible for 3hrs twice a day at low tide, the other has permanent access (photo attached). Pets, boats, canoes, small motorcycles allowed. Transportation to the island at high tide via boat is available.

We stayed on the island and was a lovely spot, right by the river and very secluded. The river was very easy to cross and we didn’t have issues with accessibility. Nathan was very friendly, even showed us how to catch fish with a net to get live bait. The stars at night were stunning and we were able to see the Milky Way. Was a beautiful weekend and would definitely come back!

The view was outstanding if only we had the weather with us. Nathan was a wonderful host and helped us out in many ways. We caught fish and crabs was great. Would highly recommend.

Nathan is a really nice host. He was very helpful. His campsite is really beautiful. On our way to his spot we were lucky to see some kangaroos.
