2 nights at Sweet River Farm Bellingen

My friend and I stayed in the Yurt, which was amazing to fall asleep looking at the intricate hand-painted interior. The bed and furnishing were also incredibly comfortable and stylish. The amenities on the site were really well thought out, and it was so nice to be 'off-grid' but be able to easily cook, shower, etc. We spent our days reading on the deck, swimming in the gorgeous river that runs through the property, kayaking and playing with Jess's dog Zoe who would run and swim along the river bank, following us on our little paddles (highlight). At night we made fire's which Jess had already, kindly provided wood and kindling for. Town is only a 15min drive, with great butchers and grocers for necessities, plus cute cafes and stores to waddle around and browse. We had THE best time- Jess is such a gorgeous and generous host and her property is really special!!

Peppermint falt glamping , where do I start what a spot 15/10 !! We stayed in the platypus lair , to the amazing tent set up which is like a small house , one of if not the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in , the amenities was superb , love love love .. Oh wait there , can't leave without saying I have ticked another ozzy jewl of my animal bucket list , just made my year , both nights we cooked up a storm , and sat down beside the river and had an outstanding moment veiwing your family of platypus whist having dinner, between the platypus, water dragons and turtles we were truly spoilt , and not to mention sum beefy owl on the first night , that we couldnt see but definitely knew they were present ... thanks again for allowing people to come enjoy your true peice of paradise. And can't wait to come back as we only scratched the surface on the stunning walks in the erea .. I can't recommend this place enough , all boxes ticked .....

For a one night stay we were with completely satisfied with the accommodation and facilities at your beloved location. It was amazing being by the river such beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed the family friendly environment it brought the area to a quiet/respectful place to help enjoy our stay.

All good. Perhaps a water line and a fan could work but a great spot and parking . Good location for a therapy retreat . Very attentive chickens and horses.

The glamping was a great set up. The property was beautiful with lovely walks to explore including a glow worm walk in the rainforest and gorgeous farm animals to meet. I look forward to camping here again!

The cabin we stayed in absolutely perfect. Had everything we needed and more, and was beautifully appointed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Loved sitting on the balcony soaking in the view.

We had a great time staying on Janet's property. This is our second time and it's lovely to see all the hard work put into the property. My son loves the horses and chickens. Thanks for having us! We will be back.

1 night at Ingenia Holidays Nambucca Heads

Our favourite place we stayed along our trip from Sydney to brisbane. Loved staying here even if it was for the 1 night. Loved that we had our private little shower room and the locals here were amazing to talk to and have a laugh with at the tavern in the town centre. Right next to the ocean but if you're also nervous with swimming its fine as the river is there also where its much more calm to swim in. Would've stayed here another night if I could redo the trip.

2 nights at Yapunyah Park

We had such a great time at Yapunyah Park Cottage! Sally and Steve were so welcoming and made us feel like part of the family from the moment we arrived. The cabin was super cozy, and warm everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved playing with their two dogs, Lily and Chaos, who were both very friendly and affectionate. It was also great fun to feed the horses who were also incredibly friendly and gentle. Overall, it was the perfect escape, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts or a nicer place to stay. Highly recommend! Thank you, Sally and Steve!
