Mena Creek River Retreat Camp

Birds eye Riverview high bank 2

Great stay over looking the creek on the high bank. Beautiful property with lots of privacy and fire pits in each camp site. We didn't see another person the time, only cows.

Platypus Corner Back In Site.

We had a fantastic stay despite the rainy weather. Rowan moved us to a different spot in case the rain and road got worse, it was very thoughtful. We had a secluded spot just for us, above the creek, it was a very short walk to a nice swim spot with plenty of shade. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a beautiful place near Innisfail

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is beautiful, with a lovely creek and plenty of space to explore. We especially liked the cows wandering past our site in the late afternoon – they made for very welcome company. The campsites are well spaced apart, so it felt private and peaceful (we really saw or heard other campers). Everything was very well maintained and the host was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Awesome private bush camp! We loved this place spotted some big barra n jungle perch in the river and a super cute echidna, our 16ft caravan n 4wd made it in easy. Wouldnt recommend if its wet as its a steep drive down n out and would suggest talking to Rowan if in doubt who is a awesome host.

Very secluded peaceful spot. Best suited to those who are fully self sufficient, don’t need their site to be manicured and looking to get away.

Such a beautiful spot, we enjoyed 5 nights relaxing and enjoying the views, fishing in crystal clear waters. Short trip into town for topping up supplies and a beer at local pub.

Rowan hosts a great spot in Mena Creek, we had the whole paddock to ourselves with the creek flowing down the bank. Dogs were happy, quiet and peaceful place to perch for a couple of nights! Rowan super helpful and a phone call away if we needed help with anything.

What a spot! Great view over the creek, quiet and private. We didn't see any other humans around the camp site during our 4 day stay. We enjoyed taking a dip down at the old crossing, plus we had a fish. A magnificent rainforest experience. You're also in the heart of sugarcane country with the Johnstone Sugar Mill being passed on your journey into Innisfail. For us out of towners, having a beer at the Critereon Hotel as Sugar cane trains rumble up the main street 5 meters from your table was pretty cool.

Mena Creek Retreat- The High Bank

Had a great couple days at Mena Creek, although we experienced huge amounts of rain while we were there it did not spoil the very nice property there and Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and dry! Will definitely be seeing us again!

Great spot and Sarah and family are great people and very accommodating. The creek is great and we had fun paddling through the rapids with kayaks. Lots to do. Plenty of space for kids to run around. Camp sites are well spaced to allow people their own space. Will definitely be back.

Mena Creek Retreat, Horse Hill.

Lovely spot to spend a couple of nights with the kids and our dogs. They loved the cows and horses that visited our site. The creek was great to cool off. Loved having our own campfire so we could cook a delicious roast pork in the camp oven. Sarah's hospitality was second to none.

We had a great time camping, had the place to ourselves. Beautiful property with running creeks and a safe swimming hole. It was close to all the local attractions that we wanted to visit as well. Sarah came to the rescue with a generator for hire when we had battery issues with our camper. Would definitely visit again.
