Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind private property nestled deep within a secluded valley in the stunning Byron Bay hinterlands. If you're searching for genuine peace, quiet, and a deep connection with nature, this is it. Imagine this: you're at the very end of a quiet valley road, where The Hidden Gem offers absolute privacy. There are no noisy neighbours or distracting lights here – just the tranquil sounds of the Australian bush. Our spacious camping area features 10 private tent and campervan sites set on a beautiful open meadow. It backs directly onto a vast national park, giving you direct access to established hiking trails. These paths lead straight to the top of nearby waterfalls, offering breathtaking panoramic views overlooking the entire valley. Feel free to explore our expansive grounds; you're welcome to wander through them, and yes, you can definitely enjoy a small campfire under the stars at your own campsite. We've got 300 meters of pristine, year-round, spring-fed creek frontage, complete with a beautiful swimming hole that's just perfect for a refreshing dip. Beyond the creek, take a peaceful stroll through our serene spring-fed lotus pond or explore the productive lychee orchard when it's in season. And those waterfalls? You'll find three enchanting ones within just 500 meters of the property, showing off their beauty from various vantage points. Plus, the iconic Minyon Falls is only a short 10-minute drive away. Guests have access to a charming small settlers cottage, which includes a cozy lounge area, a convenient kitchenette, and a warming fireplace – perfect for those cooler evenings. Right next door, a large, covered deck with its own fireplace offers an inviting communal space for relaxation. For your convenience, we provide clean flushing toilets and hot showers. And for the ultimate relaxation, our rejuvenating wood-fired cedar sauna is available upon request for an additional fee. Just a heads-up, you'll need to supply your own firewood for it.

Thank you :) The beginnings of a regenerative farm dedicated to recovering the native lands while growing food for delicious homemade meals.

You are welcome to choose your own spot on our 90 acres, and we can help advise of some good locations. All sites are for self-contained travelers, those that have their own camp toilet and can take all waste with them when they leave. The property is most suited to 4WD, high clearance vehicles, and off-road campers. Caravans and motorhomes will find it difficult to reach most areas to camp. Children under 12 stay free! Please still add children to the booking (you will not be charged) so we can keep on top of guest numbers. You're welcome to bring your furry four-legged friends along to camp too, but please ensure they do not hassle the livestock or travel across the creek, we have neighbouring properties all around us. Please feel free to swim in the creek wherever you please and you are most welcome to walk up the creek to adventure. There are some beautiful secluded spots and swimming holes, but please do not cross the creek, our neighbours like their privacy. If you arrive to extreme weather conditions please contact us before entering the property as we may have to recommend some safe spots for camping.
