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.

Platypus Hole
Sarabah Stud Camping, the Platypus Hole, was a great spot to camp. It was quite private as it was down a bit of a hollow and right on the creek. Best toilet for a porta-loo and I like that it was one/site. Well located just out of Canungra and about an hour from Lamington NP for great hiking.

Magical Solitude by the Creek
Tent ·
Platypus Hole
I came to the Platypus Hole to escape distractions and find solitude. It ended up delivering beyond expectations. On arrival, you're greeted by a beautiful natural archway framing the campsite, the creek glittering in the background, fig trees overhead alive with finches, sparrows and whipbirds. It feels otherworldly, almost magical. The creek runs right to the edge of the site. I watched cormorants, ducks, tortoises and large fish throughout my stay. Didn't catch the platypus, but the highlight was an unexpected visit from a bandicoot who bounded over and stopped right near me. Unforgettable. Facilities include a private port-a-loo exclusive to your site, more than adequate. Host Nathan checked in shortly after I arrived to see if I needed help, then left me completely to myself, perfect for someone wanting peace and solitude. No showers is fine for a solo retreat but worth considering if sharing with others. Rain also turns the ground muddy if it keeps up. Neither is a dealbreaker, just worth knowing. Would come back without hesitation.

The Mulberry Tree
What a magical spot! We booked the Mulberry Tree campsite but pulled into the wrong site when we arrived (our silly mistake as the sites are all well signed). Robert came and let us know but kindly gave us the option of staying in the spot we had stopped in. He was very friendly and gave us some info about the property before heading off. There is a beautiful big creek running through the property with plenty of turtles and a swimming hole. Lots of friendly cattle, too. So quiet and picturesque. Thanks for having us.

Lovely and peaceful with large sites. Lower platypus was great as it has 2 area’s you can choose to set up on, depending on what your set up is. We had a lot of rain in the days leading up to our arrival and the sites weren’t boggy. We did see platypuses and lots of birds, roos and cows. Having a toilet at each site is appreciated too. One less thing to take, set up and pack up at the end.

My partner and myself thoroughly enjoyed our time at Saraba Stud campground. Stoney camp would be our pick of the sites. Camping right next to the creek was awesome, toilets were clean, and site is well maintained. There's plenty of nice spots to sit by the creek and take in the views, or propose to your partner like I did. 10/10 from us. We'll definitely be booking again.

Lower Platypus
The property itself is beautiful, with amazing wildlife, well-maintained grounds, and clean portable toilets throughout. We also appreciated being greeted on arrival and shown to our campsite. Our experience changed on the first morning. It was our first time using Hipcamp and we hadn’t thought to ask about phone reception before booking. Due to work commitments, we needed occasional signal to respond to important messages. We drove along the designated tracks looking for reception and found signal near the swimming area. We parked part of our van only slightly off the track. The owner messaged us asking us to return to our campsite to protect the grass and tracks. We explained our situation and asked if we could move to a campsite in that area, but were told it was booked. We moved the van and spent the day off the property. That evening we parked in the same area again because we needed reception and the “other guests” had never shown up. This time the van was fully on the track. The following morning at 8:30am, the owner drove over and told us we had 30 mins to leave for not following instruction! We understand the importance of protecting private land, but the response felt disproportionate. Throughout the stay we felt monitored rather than welcomed. When we explained our situation, we didn’t feel listened to or met with any understanding. The communication felt rigid and one-sided, and being asked to leave with 30 minutes’ notice felt unnecessarily confrontational.
