ABOUT Zaytuna Farm Eco Hamlet is a highly active Permaculture demonstration site and has been used to teach permaculture to countless international and local students for the past 20 years. It is at the forefront of Permaculture Design, displaying many permaculture principles, and produces an abundance of food and various yields from within its living environment. Zaytuna Farm Eco Hamlet is a family friendly farm, situated on a sixty six acre (27 hectares) property that fronts Terania Creek opposite the village of The Channon, Northern NSW. The property is completely off-grid and contains 800m of creek frontage with fishing spots, a swimming hole for campers, and abundant wildlife ideal for bird watchers. Zaytuna Farm Eco Hamlet has recently become a community of 8 private residences that share this beautiful property. We kindly ask that campers respect the residents’ privacy, however if you spot them on the common grounds, they are always up for a friendly chat. CAMPSITE The campsite is situated on the communal grounds at the heart of Zaytuna Farm Eco Hamlet on flat lawn surrounded by bamboo and the sounds of the rainforest. We also have 10 raised camping shelters on offer, suitable for small tents for 1-2 people. Campers have close access to bathrooms built from eco-friendly shipping containers with composting toilets and warm showers; a fire pit, a kitchen garden to share from, an education/function center (available for hire), a common sheltered area to relax with wifi, and an equipped shared kitchen. OTHER NOTES We strictly have a no drug and alcohol policy. Due to our policy and customs, we kindly ask that no pork products enter the property, and that reasonably modest clothing is worn (shoulders down to knees covered is fine) including around the swimming hole. Please note this is not the place for partying, but a place for connecting with nature and nurturing wellbeing. We kindly ask that all rubbish is taken off the premise as there are no bins. Children 7 years and under stay free. We look forward to hosting you!

The Main Campsite Zaytuna Farm

Our 7yr old son, wife and I, enjoyed camping at Zaytuna Eco Hamlet this weekend. It was cool though the fire was wonderful. The mist was beautiful and the warm days were a joy to walk around the property, seeing cows, and enjoying the creek, dams and kitchen gardens. The facilities were clean and the overall feeling was one of peace and quiet.

Memorable trip...

It was really a memorable trip, being a student of Permaculture got chance to meet Geoff and seen permaculture in its full action, host Sister Angela was super accommodating and helpful...highly recommended for people who loves sustainability and eco living and the bonus is you might get the chance to meet and ask question with Peraculture legend Geoff himself...

Great camping experience

We had a great experience at Xaytuna Farm. The owners were very friendly, the toilets and bathroom were clean. One compost toilet was a bit smelly but the other ones were fine. This place is perfect for last minute camping as it is 2 mins away from the Tavern.

The Main Campsite Zaytuna Farm

It was okay. The actually area is very enclosed with high trees. We purchased firewood but there was only one fire on the campsite and a large family were already using it, so that should have been clearer. We were woke up at 6am with screaming between one of the staff members and a guest over where they had parked their car. The staff member was completely in the wrong, causing a scene and it really didn’t have to happen at 6 in the morning. We had a 2 night stay booked but left after one night.

Camping Platform Zaytuna Farm

Loved the raised platform for tent camping. It was perfect for 2 people but would be tight if there were more people. Awesome hospitality from the staff members.
