75km from Tarlo River National Park · 2 sites
Merigan Farm is a 1400 Hectare (3500 acre) working sheep and cattle farm. Our family has lived at Merigan for more than 50 years. It has been a farm since the 1840s and we still run sheep and cattle in a regenerative manner, to this day. It’s a pleasure to be able to share the countryside and farm with guests.
We currently offer two accommodation options:
Cherry Tree - A cabin with a beautiful farm outlook. With a bookcase full of books and a fire pit for cosy evenings, it's the perfect escape.
The Quarters - A private section of the old farmhouse offering rural charm and a perfectly comfortable stay.
Merigan is the name of the local Parish and on Ngunawal country. It has been recounted by indigenous locals that Merigan means Dingo. The story being that Merigan fought the Bunyip and in their tussle created the rivers and creeks across the range.
It’s a southern Australian Mediterranean environment with distinct seasons – it can reach over 42 degrees and in the winter its been known often to snow. Sometimes in summer the easterly sea breezes reaches over the range and the smell of sea salt cools the hot evening.
Merigan offers a range of activities, to relax and settle into rural life. One of the best ways to get the feel of Merigan is just taking a walk around the property. We have 3500 acres of space to meander around and a great spots for picnics, drinks and photographs. Feel free to use the Tennis Court, balls and racquets under one of the verandas at the front of the house and the bocce court at the bottom of the garden.
Bungendore, 18km away, is a thriving little country town with Galleries, gift-shops, cafés, bakeries, coffee shops and bars. The Top Pub (The Royal ) is the more casual of the hotels. The Bottom Pub (The Lake George) has a fancy restaurant attached to the more informal pub area.
Braidwood is a funky Heritage town about 25km East of Bungendore and well worth a visit. It has outstanding shops and eateries and 2 pubs. The Braidwood Hotel being my favourite.
Tarago is 14km away. The Loaded Dog do meals but mainly on weekends (Pizzas during the week). Best to check as it varies.
Other local attractions include Lark Hill Winery, Lerida Estate Winery, Turlla Truffles and Bungendore Woodworks.

Discover Atlantium - The Smallest Country in Australia!
Welcome to Atlantium, a unique campsite located on a 0.76 square kilometre pastoral estate in the scenic Lachlan River valley, nestled between Crookwell and Cowra. Founded in 1981 by a group of teenagers in Sydney, Atlantium has since evolved into a global civil society organisation and micronation, boasting thousands of citizens across over a hundred countries.
Atlantium is the only country you can drive to from Australia, making it a one-of-a-kind destination. Since acquiring our 200-acre pastoral estate near Reids Flat, NSW, in 2008, we've developed it as our ceremonial capital. Visitors can explore Government House (the Golden House), our post office, a pyramid, and various other monuments and buildings.
Atlantium is equipped with a super-fast Starlink satellite internet service.
Guests have full access to the 0.76 square kilometres (200 acres) of natural bushland within Atlantium's borders. Enjoy hiking, bird-watching, mountain bike riding, picnicking, or swimming in our unspoiled forests, fields, and lakes while taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding Australian countryside. Visit the only pyramid in Australia and several other commemorative monuments. Official Atlantium souvenirs such as stamps, coins, banknotes, postcards, and flags are available for purchase.
Atlantium is located in an isolated rural area at the end of a 100-metre-long rough dirt and gravel driveway, surrounded by untamed grasslands and forests teeming with wildlife, including insects, spiders, snakes, lizards, birds, and marsupials. Summer temperatures can be extremely hot, and winters can be cold enough for occasional snow.
Come and experience the serenity and uniqueness of Atlantium, where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature while exploring a truly extraordinary micronation.

Lovely little rustic cabin - perfect for our family Easter break. It gave us plenty of quality family time reconnecting with our kids without wifi- plenty of uno and charades!
The campfire each night was a huge hit with the city slickers, enjoying toasted marshmallows and a few cheeky beverages! We would recommend this to everyone - equipped with all mod cons, ample bedding, abundant firewood and if you’re seeking tranquility, waking to beautiful bird calls and being at one with nature don’t look further afield! Thanks Shon for your hospitality!
We’ll be back! The Lekic family

Absolutely loved this rustic little bush shack. I loved all the details inside the hut and definitely appreciate the flushing toilet close by. Handy to have a BBQ supplied and various cooking items. Nice big firepit with tools to use. 100% recommend either staying in the hut here or camping (as the camp sites looked pretty good too).

It's a beautiful place and worth the drive.
Be sure to pack food that you can cook or put in the fridge or heat.
There's 2 patches of road towards the end that are a bit rough but nothing my tiny MG couldn't handle.
It's a great place. Lots of other things to do as well like pool, billiard, table tennis. Shared bathroom area is very very close and very convenient. Plenty of water.
The help there is a pure gentleman and happy to help off times as well. It was a great trip overall.

An Absolute Must Do Experience!
JnJs Garden is a truly wonderful place and a "must do" for everyone. We had the most amazing stay with our 2 young children who had the best time imaginable. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed like we were familiar friends. The country picturesque landscape was absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking even. We had a couple of issues with our caravan on arrival which John gladly helped us with. We went for the option of the home cooked meal by Juanita which was so delicious we couldn't stop talking about how nice it was for hours, an absolute must do!! Our children fed the chickens, lamb and sheep which was an amazing experience for them. The sheep dog was so friendly and wonderful with the children also. I honestly recommend to everyone to stay there, we plan on returning in the future and see all the seasons to try all the veg from the garden. Thank you Juanita & John from the bottom of our hearts for having us and for the wonderful memories that we will cherish.
