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.

What a hidden gem of a place. We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin, from the moment we arrived we enjoyed every second. It’s such a private, peaceful spot and the scenery and river were simply magnificent. Both kids and adults had a blast spending the whole day in the river. For off-grid campers we were spoiled and appreciated the hot shower, flushing toilet and water for washing up. Jess was lovely and took the time to come and meet us, bringing some lucerne for the cows. We were also lucky enough to have a resident peacock visit who clearly loved his watermelon treat. So sad to leave and we can’t wait to return.

Really great cabin in an even better location! My partner and I loved our stay in the cabin. There was plenty of space inside with everything you need and we felt very secluded with lots of privacy. There was cows roaming around which you could feed and a beautiful peacock walking about. The property has plenty lots to offer and explore with a walking trail we found and an unbelievable creek which was great for a swim and to explore. Jess was super helpful and friendly too and even checked in on us when a storm rolled through. Would highly recommend!

Our extended family had a great stay at Brushtales cabin with lovely spots next to the cabin to pitch tents.
Having all the facilities of the cabin made camping so easy and comfortable. Its a beautiful spot by the river. The kids loved everything about it and feeding Colin 110, was a highlight. We'd definitely come again. Thanks Jess

It is so quiet and picturesque, the view is amazing. Jess has kept it simple yet everything you need is there. We went gold fossicking down the road for a bit of fun. There is a local shop nearby with the bare necessities at a reasonable price. Loved having a fire place .

I loved staying in the bunkhouse at The Ranch on Clarence. It's an amazing property with plenty of animals, breathtaking views, and plenty of places to walk on the property. Add to it that you are really close to Yates Crossings where you can 4wd, go for a swim, or even just go for a nice walk around. I would very highly recommend staying here.

You have to try the Brushtales Bush Cabin hosted by Jess to believe it. My son and I planned on camping, but the long range weather forecast predicted ridiculously low temperatures and a chance of showers, so we upgraded to Jess' cabin. Talk about having everything we needed. Hot showers, wood fire, warm beds and everything that the fully kitted out cabin had to offer. We really didn't need to bring anything! I was very disappointed when my son discovered NBN internet access. My son, not so much! 😀 Like others before me, I am already planning a return trip in the near future. Thanks. John.

Shanti is a very welcoming host.
The Bunkhouse is an experience on its own! Sleeps 9 pp, comfy matresses, a small fridge and an amazing covered outdoor seating area to enjoy a fire at night.
Phantom, the stunning stallion, roams freely around the property. 3 hens, 1 roster and 5 friendly dogs complete the happy family.
Other horses are across the road ready for a beautiful ride to the river, where you can get to swim with your horse. This is just an amazing adventure away from the croud, where kids (and big kids!) Can just relax and enjoy.
