Welcome to Whispering Mountain. We are a small hobby farm with a menagerie of animals to pat and see. Our main attraction is our Scottish Highland Cattle and our emus, but of course, there’s a lot more than these guys. We have a large paddock adjacent to Lansdowne River, where we welcome self-contained campers to set up and enjoy the peace, and easy river access. The paddock does not have any trees or toilet amenities at this stage. So it's currently BYO toilets/showers please, and all waste it to be taken when you depart. We are 20 minutes out of Taree and 50 minutes to Port Macquarie. There are local beaches at Manning Point and Crowdy Head. Great for fishing. There is also 15min to Big Nelly where you can drive to the top of the mountain and many other stops to stop and look over the region, so yiu can take a picnic basket and flask, if yiu feeling more adventures yiu cam stop at Watui Falls amd then head up and over the mountains to ... WARNING this trek of mountain road is only accessible by 4WD. There's also Ellebrough falls. If you’re looking for extra fun we offer Archery lessons and are affiliated with Archery NSW. We also offer a petting zoo for a small additional cost. Ask us for more details!You can pitch your tent or sent up your caravan on our farming land, just near to the creek.

Great hospitality, donkeys and emus

Overall this was a good experience. Rita was a great host and had ample space for privacy amongst their animal friends (donkeys, horses, kangaroos, and emus). We were able to pull our caravan up under a patch of trees that provided great shelter for our van, seating and hammock. Whilst the premise of our booking was to visit the highland cows, we were slightly disappointed to hear they were no longer there.

We had such a great time at Whispering Mountain! The spot was beautiful and super relaxing. The creek was amazing — the kids spent hours splashing around and exploring. Just a heads up, there were a few ticks around so bring some repellent, and the donkeys can get a bit loud at night. All up, such a fun stay — we’d definitely come back!

Awesome spot in the “middle of nature” - emus, donkeys, prolific bird life, fireflies & a creek to swim in (when not sitting by our fire 😉). Thx for sharing your piece of paradise Rita 🙏🙏😁

Absolutely loved our stay! We had the place to ourselves, sunrise over the mountains, highland coos at our doorstep and an emu that thinks it’s a dog who followed us everywhere! We even got a personal tour to the creek from our lovely host Rita. We will definitely be back!

Rita’s farm is perfect for an off grid camp to do absolutely nothing or absolutely everything. Being close to waterfalls, mountain walks and the beach you can choose to do day trips or stay at the farm and interact with the many different animals. We enjoyed the highland cow experience and learnt a lot about their lives. We also had fun doing archery and Rita was a very excellent teacher and helped us even get some bullseyes!
