Boatshed Farm, Queensland

Looking for peace and tranquility? Enjoy birdwatching, fishing, kayaking or just relaxing?  That is precisely what we offer here at Boatshed Farm. We are situated on the banks of the magnificent Mary River with beautiful rural views over heritage listed Emerys Bridge and across to Bauple Mountain.

Surrounded by cattle farms and forestry, our property is rich in bird life, turtles, fish and some very shy platypus inhabit the river. At night you can almost reach up and touch the stars.

We offer 2 Riverside campsites, both hidden away on a ledge above the river so you have plenty of privacy. You MUST have a 4WD to access the Riverside area as the bank is a bit steep  - these sites are not suitable for larger vans over 24foot.

 We have 1 site on the upper level at our Lavender patch that can accommodate large vans or buses by prior arrangement - these sites are less private, a  little noisier and further away from the river but do not require a 4WD.

Children under 12 years are free - those aged 12 & over are $5 per night - please book for children by going to our EXTRA's.  Our sites are flexible with plenty of room for more than one,  so group bookings are  welcome and available by prior arrangement - just send us a query.

You MUST be fully self contained with your own water, power and toilet. 

Access to the river is by a flight of stairs which is a bit steep but very sturdy  (see photos), or a bush track down to the old bridge. Once at the river there are several great swimming & fishing spots with deep holes & running water and some great birdwatching & shady picnic sites. Kayakers frequent this part of the Mary with some beautiful scenery & wildlife to be seen so bring your own kayak or canoe. There is no access to launch a boat.

We are child & pet friendly. Pets are to be kept on a leash at all times. We have excellent Telstra coverage.

We are located 5 minutes from Gundiah and half way between Gympie & Maryborough, Qld. The small town of Tiaro is 20 minutes away and has 2 Hotels, a Supermarket, Butcher, Doctors Surgery, Chemist & more.  The historic Gundy Pub, Bauple Museum, Racemes Art Gallery, Bauple House and Bicentennial National Trail are all nearby.

Boatshed Farm is perfect for an overnight stopover, or a longer stay so you can explore the Wide Bay/Gympie region.
