Welcome to Sarabah Stud: A Serene Creek-Side Escape Nestled within a stunning cattle and farming property, Sarabah Stud offers a quintessential Australian bush camping experience. Located just 40 minutes from the Gold Coast and an hour from Brisbane CBD, our property is the perfect retreat for families, couples and friends seeking a quiet, nature-focused getaway. The Natural Experience Immerse yourself in our thriving local ecosystem. The property is a haven for native wildlife; keep a quiet eye out for our resident platypus in the creek, or spot kangaroos, wallabies, turtles, and native birdlife throughout the day. As the sun sets, the bush comes alive with the sounds of owls, possums, bandicoots and the crackle of a campfire (permitted in designated firepits, subject to local restrictions). Creek-Side Relaxation Cool off in our dedicated swimming hole—a beautiful, natural spot perfect for a refreshing dip. To protect our delicate aquatic environment and our resident platypus, please note that fishing is not permitted on the property. Facilities & Access We aim to provide a secluded and comfortable yet authentic "off-grid" feel: Amenities: Every campsite is equipped with its own dedicated toilet for your convenience. Please remember to bring your own toilet paper. Navigation: We are well-signed and easily found on Google Maps. We recommend loading your maps while you still have mobile service to ensure a smooth arrival. Vehicle Access: The property is 2WD accessible in dry weather; however, we recommend 4WD during wet conditions - mainly for Stony Camp access. Feel free to contact us for a track update before you head off. Experience the beauty of the Scenic Rim at Sarabah Stud—your quiet, family-friendly home in the bush.

This campsite is a serene escape nestled by a trickling creek, offering spacious, private sites surrounded by nature. Guests consistently praise the clean facilities, including individual toilets, and the welcoming hosts. Wildlife is a highlight, with frequent sightings of platypus, turtles, and a rich array of birdlife adding to the charm. While a few have noted the cost, the tranquility and beauty of the setting make it a favorite destination for many campers.

The camp spot is great. They have portaloos for each site and they are clean. The creek was very refreshing and cool to swim in. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any platypus but the lookout is an amazing view. I felt a bit ignorant. Not having looked up that there was a fire ban but the hosts acted quickly and were very polite. I look forward to revisiting

Stoney Camp was a great little spot. It felt so private, tucked in the forest along the creek. You could hear the water running at night, which was so calming. It’s a beautiful place to relax and recharge. Perfect for a romantic getaway or even hanging out with friends. Highly recommended.

Platypus Hole
Platypus hole camp site, was a nice quite retreat for a couple of days. Unfortunately didn't see any platypus, but there was plenty of birds and other wildlife to spot and identify, to keep the kids entertained. The swimming hole was refreshing for a dip in flowing water. The toilets were in close proximity to the site, and were clean, ready to use. Highly recommend, will definitely be planning another trip out there again very soon.

Lower Platypus
Great spot! Low platypus is a fantastic spot, grassy, flat and awesome views. Only downside is that it’s right near the platypus viewing area so if you want privacy this might not be the spot for you.

Beautiful, peaceful camping spot! We stayed at Stoney Creek Spot and absolutely loved it. The campsite was right beside a lovely trickling creek, surrounded by nature and beautifully secluded. There was plenty of wildlife around, including lots of birds, kangaroos and even a cheeky bandicoot that got into our bread overnight! There was also a lovely area to swim in the creek. The toilets were clean, and the host was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay and we’d happily come back again!
