Rocky River Play Station is a working bush property on the banks of the Timbarra River, about 20 km / 30 minutes south of Drake Village — an old gold-mining community tucked in the back of NSW Northern Rivers. This is a place for slowing down, sitting on grass, swimming in rivers, watching light change across the hills, and resting amongst the wildlife and our resident cows. Your hosts live further back on the property. We’re close enough to help if needed, but far enough away that you’ll feel properly off-grid. There is no mobile reception, which is part of the magic. This is a leave-no-trace property: - There are no bins — please take all rubbish with you when you leave. - Campfires welcome when there is no fire ban. - Facilities vary by site — please check individual listings carefully and come prepared. Pets may be possible by request. We love visiting animals, but we also protect our local wildlife and grass-powered lawnmowers (the cows), so approval is on a case-by-case basis. Rocky River Play Station is also home to evolving creative projects, small gatherings, and the Brushtales Arts Residency. Come to rest, create, gather — you're welcome.

Welcome to Undercliff Farm Step back to a time when life moved slower and the land spoke louder than the world. Undercliff Farm isn't a modern park or a luxury retreat; it’s a private sanctuary where the quiet rustle of the leaves is the only soundtrack you’ll need. We believe in the honest beauty of simplicity—where a starry sky is better than any screen and a shared campfire means more than convenience. Trackside: A Home for Riders For those who find peace in the hum of an engine, our 325-acre backyard awaits. The Trackside sites, nestled under plane trees, offer a simple place to rest your head after a day’s adventure. * By Arrangement: We prefer groups and keep things orderly to protect the peace. * The Essentials: While Trackside is unpowered (generators allowed). Respecting the Sanctuary We are merely caretakers of this soil. We ask that you walk softly, leaving only footprints so the wildlife and future generations can enjoy this harmony. To keep our trees healthy and our ecosystem safe, please do not bring outside wood onto the farm. A Warm Welcome Good dogs are welcome, and good manners are expected. We invite you to breathe deep, respect your neighbour, and find your own quiet corner of renewal. Creatures of comfort • We offer 6 powered sites only. • Amenities are for your convenience. • Clean up after yourself and your children. • While we do check amenities morning and evening, please let us know if anything is needed.

We kindly ask that all guests help us create a peaceful, respectful and safe environment for everyone. During Your Stay Please arrive during your nominated check-in time. If you expect to arrive late, we'd appreciate a quick message. Please respect the privacy of other campers by keeping noise to a minimum, particularly during the early morning and evening.

Even the quietest horses can become excited around food and may crowd people or compete with one another, creating a potentially dangerous situation. If you would like to meet or interact with the horses, please speak with us first. We are always happy to introduce you when it is safe and appropriate. Allow our horses to approach you in their own time and always respect their personal space. Please do not run, scream, chase, throw objects at or deliberately startle any horses or other animals. Leave gates exactly as you found them and do not enter paddocks or restricted areas unless invited by a member of The Ranch team.
