Lovely Off The Beaten Track Spot

Big Rocks Bush Retreat
What a wonderful spot. The granite boulders strewn about add such character. We loved hiking up the hill, and were grateful to find the deeper pool to cool off in afterwards. The horse, cow and sheep were so tame and came to hang out at camp for an afternoon. A well maintained property with a friendly, helpful host. We certainly hope to be back again soon! Thanks John!

Great camp spot, good 4wd tracks out the back of property ( expect a few scrapes and dents). Plenty of quality walking tracks. Peaceful and quiet. Care takers were very informative regarding the property and areas to visit. Will definitely be back.

Great bush camping, beautiful running creek when we there. So peaceful. After rain, I wouldn’t recommend towing a caravan that’s not meant for off roading.

Camping with animals!

Big Rocks Bush Retreat
John and Lyn were fabulous hosts. Nothing was a bother. The campsites are beautifully cleaned and looked after. We were fortunate enough to go after the rain so there was water running through the nearby creek. The farm animals are sweet and love a pat or belly rub (Peaches the pig) and are so well looked after. A perfect mental health getaway to unwind, switch off, relax, walk, climb the mountain to watch the sunset, pat an animal, play a game of pool in the communal area, sit by the campfire, or simply read a book. I can't recommend enough. Thank you!
