60km from Port Macquarie · 1 site · Tent
Welcome to Toorumbee — where the track truly less travelled leads you deep into the heart of wild Australia.
Tucked away in the rugged beauty of the Great Dividing Range, this off-grid sanctuary borders the untamed Willi Willi National Park and Yessabah State Forest — thousands of acres of raw, unspoiled wilderness. Getting here is half the adventure. The journey winds through remote bushland and mountain trails, offering a taste of the solitude that awaits. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the gentle gurgle of pristine creeks, sweeping views, and the rare peace of knowing you're completely off the grid — unreachable and undisturbed. For trail riders, this is your playground. Whether you're on horseback, motorbike, or mountain bike, there’s endless terrain to explore — winding ridgelines, lush gullies, and challenging backcountry tracks that few have ever ridden. Explore the legendary Banda Banda trail, search for hidden caves, or cool off in crystal-clear waters. And when the day winds down, let the stillness of the mountains settle in your bones. At Toorumbee, nature humbles you — and gives you the space to be loud, to be still, to be wild, or to simply be.

Bernard and Susan are custodians of the farm, primarily using the land for poultry (egg), pig, and goat farming. They are transitioning to an off-grid and eco-friendly lifestyle for their retirement. The Hatch Farm is home to many animals, most of whom are rescues - including border collies, cavalier king charles spaniels, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, goats, miniature horses, cows, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. There is plenty to do and see around the farm from complete relaxation, interacting with the friendly animals (there is usually a variety of babies to cuddle!), to casting a line or launching your boat from the rustic boat ramp. Please note that all animal interactions are self-led (including our animal nursery), and children must be supervised by their parents/carers. During NSW School Holidays, host led animal interactions will be available at designated times. Friendly pets welcome. For bookings call or text Susan 0418 842055
