HIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE! Pure. Unadulterated. WILD. 104 very private acres, securely sandwiched between a National Park Nature Reserve and State Forest. On a dead end road. No agriculture or farms upstream, only one other like-minded property owner. Secluded, but hiding smack bang in the middle of everywhere! From vertiginous sandstone cliffs on which epipetrics cling tight, right through to palm-filled rainforests, and with two quite different creek systems (including a monster waterfall), you'll be spoiled for things to do and places to explore - without even leaving the property! HISTORY This land is Gumbaynggirr land. Please be particularly mindful of our First Nation's long presence on this land. In the 1800's, white men came seeking Red Cedar, closely followed by settlers having a go at dairying; though logging has remained this area's mainstay. This special property, despite last being selectively logged about 50 years ago, hosts many huge old-growth trees remaining steadfast for your discovery and wonder. And many more are continuing to grow out too. About 35 years ago about nine of this property's eastern-most 104 acres became part of a far larger nashi pear orchard which filled much of the flats of this top end of the valley that you see today. Ultimately they failed to set good commercial fruit, and the rootstocks took over. You can see remnant rows of these trees just south of the property, from along the road. (Beware though - they have spikes that could puncture Caterpillar tracks!) MORE RECENTLY extensive lantana control efforts have been undertaken as we now move into revegetating with native species and implementing a permaculture plan. Today the property is registered with Land For Wildlife and hosts a very wide mix of native vegetation communities. ACTIVITIES Bird watch. Climb. Abseil. Photograph wildflowers. Paint. Swim. In the next valley there's even gold to be found. Explore trails by mountain bike. Whale watch. Surf. Learn SCUBA. Go beach-combing. Catch a mudcrab. Go whitewater river rafting. Ask your host about where to find all the local waterfalls, the best walking, how to find gold, the gnarliest off-road tracks, Anything is possible here in this magnificent part of the world, except perhaps snow and ice.

Your own private waterfall!!! Need I say more. We stayed in the fenced area which was so nice to let the doggo run around. The hike to the waterfall is a bit steep but my goodness it is worth it If your looking for, off grid, peace and serenity give this place a go. However if you have someone over 15f I would probably give it a miss. The roads are very treacherous. We have a 18 f caravan and it was truly a mission

As someone who has stayed in various HipCamps across NSW and QLD, this would have to be one of the most unique. We experienced a beautiful drive to the property and were greeted promptly by Rod who helped us park and settle in nicely. We were encouraged to view the private waterfall (with an infinity pool overlooking the valley)… and wow, this was an absolutely stunning experience. Overall it was peaceful, immersed in nature, with no troubles. Thanks Rod - much appreciated

Rod was a friendly, responsive host. The location was lovely and the loo was as advertised - a great setup by Rod. It had been raining a bit and I'm not sure how my 2wd motorhome would have faired going back up the hill on the wet grass. However, Rod was accomodating and we stayed at the top of the hill. The pools were stunning and worth the walk. Thanks for sharing your bit of heaven Rod, we hope to see you again.

The waterfalls were magic. Secluded and a bit of effort but so worth it. With patience, our 10 and 7 year old kids made it up some challenging parts. Location was also ideal to visit some stunning but not overpopulated beaches (such as Emerald and Safety Beaches). Wallaby spotting too. Bring your bug spray and stop itch. 😊

The only negative about our time here was that it wasn't long enough! It is a lovely quiet well maintained place to camp. We stayed two nights, and it rained pretty heavily for most of our time here, but the site didn't get soggy at all, and the walk to the waterfall was still spectacular, on the last morning the sun came out and we snuck a swim in under the fall- amazing. Also recommend visiting Lionels lookout if you get the chance

Site 1 - WATERMELON FLAT. Fenced Open Grass
We camped for 7 nights on Rod’s property and LOVED it. We camped 4 adults and 4 kids aged 8 to 11 and had plenty of room for the caravan, tent, 2 x gazebos, box trailer and 2 cars. Watermelon flat was perfect looking down the hill and out to the trees. There was plenty of sun for our solar for off/grid camping and star gazing at night, The toilet (long drop) was perfect and a luxury as we typically use our own toilet, so no dump runs required! Other campers came in, but each site is far enough apart that it didn’t bother us.. We all swam in the creek at the bottom of the property and also packed our lunch to walk about 30 minutes to explore the WATERFALL! It’s a hidden gem and we spent 2 seperate days for near 6 hours enjoying the view and swimming. The property is so peaceful and being at the end of a no through road it was only Rod passing in his car or tractor (which the kids loved). On the last night we headed into Glenreagh to The Golden Dog Hotel for an amazing meal. The town of Glenreagh is beautiful, and the people friendly. Would recommend a visit. Rod is super friendly, always helpful… checked-in on us and we welcomed a chat… provided a map to the falls… and he also mowed a cricket pitch for us as we had a few rounds of camping cricket each day. There are other sites on the property with more tree coverage if you are looking for shade. And each site has a fire pit! We would recommend and would visit again! Thanks for a great stay Rod!

Rod’s place was a great base to explore the stunning nearby waterfall, Coffs harbour’s many beaches and markets, local pubs and more!

This is a very special place. The campsite was shady and picturesque with a plethora of bird and frog song. The toilet was unique and clean. Rod is very lovely and helpful. He also had THE MAP to the magical falls. The walk up was beautiful and the falls themselves are so special, we took up a picnic and books so could spend the day swimming and climbing. I want to go back already. Rod also suggested exploring the Scouts Falls nearby. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful part of the country.

We absolutely loved camping at Rod’s place. The watermelon flats paddock was flat at the bottom, perfectly private, great fire pit. The waterfall was spectacular. We loved walking there every day. Yes there were a few leeches, ticks and snakes but it’s the bush - it’s to be expected and if you’re unhappy about that stuff, stay home, it’ll be your loss! Rod was an awesome host. Friendly, easily contactable, prompt in replies. Dropped firewood off as soon as we asked. Cleanest drop dunny I’ve ever seen. He’s doing a great job caring for his little slice of bush.

Had a great time at Rod’s land. Loved the walk to the waterfall. Great camping on Watermelon Site 1 - needed some chocks to make it level but no hassles at all. We accidentally left them there so that’s a great reason to go back. Great for camping with dogs - Rod and his dog were happy to share. Great little toilet at well. Not far from the pub for a sneak parmi as well.

What a stop! So glad we added this to our itinerary. The Property- a mix of rainforest and bush with a flowing creek down the back and a waterfall that borders the national park. The Waterfall- is amazing even in winter. The host gave a map with clear directions and difficulty of access for each remarkable point of the waterfall. This is a perspective of the waterfall you would never see from the National Park side. Don’t miss the opportunity! Toilet- super easy and clean with no smells :) The host- He heard us arrive and drove straight down with our prepurchased fire wood and a map of how to get to the waterfalls. Explained everything we needed to know in detail. Watermelon Flat- is fenced in which made it possible for our puppy to roam without going too far. The fire pit is flat which made it possible to keep a fire alight even in temps down to 2-3 degrees. The trees provided protection from any wind.

Site 1 - WARATAHS. Fenced. Open treed.
We stayed over the Easter weekend with another family and our dogs who all had a fabulous time. The kids loved Captain Rod and Readys tractor ride and the dogs had the time of their lives roaming the site chasing balls and hanging with Ready. The waterfall was amazing. Love love loved it all, thanks for sharing your place Rod!!

Site 1 - WATERMELON FLAT. Fenced Open Grass
This was a beautiful place to visit, we particularly loved the rainforest walk to the waterfall and scenery. The host Rod was also very welcoming! Highly recommended. 😊
