Basic bush camping beside a man-made lake on a 100-acre rainforest property. Only one person/group allowed at any time, and guests enjoy a private walking-track into the Tasman National Park to Tunnel Bay and can explore the property at their leisure. From Tunnel Bay, Shipstern Bluff is easily accessed, or a Cape Raoul circuit walk is a unique day-walk option. Early check-in and/or late check-out is fine. BYO firewood. Please note: The main track is in excellent condition, but is very steep in parts, and the weather here is changeable and often extremely wild (as in, gale-force wild), thus this place is best suited to fit and well-prepared bushwalkers/campers. If your expectation is a quiet night around the fire, you may well be disappointed. Your own small bathroom is available (with toilet and sink - hot water). Fresh drinking water is provided. Free Wifi access near the residence, otherwise patchy Optus and Telstra around the block. You can charge your devices at no cost. The driveway and the property are not suitable for large campervans and typical commercial-style camping; this is a steep and slippery bush block. Two-wheel drive vehicle-access is generally fine, but care is required on the driveway. There is an opportunity for an extended stay in exchange for light gardening work, by prior discussion. This is a private residence in a uniquely quiet and secluded location on the edge of a high-value national park. Due to serious fire risk and the potentially devastating impact on the surrounding area, campfires are highly restricted and permitted only in safe weather conditions. Check with me first. The property is largely undisturbed temperate rainforest, featuring creeks, springs, a 35-metre waterfall (after good rain), great plant and animal diversity. You may spot a resident Tasmanian devil, and you’ll certainly be surrounded by native marsupials—plus the odd enthusiastic greeting from my doodle dog, Roo.Your own camp next to a small lake. Campfire in good weather. Great views. Private walking track into the Park.
