Lovely peaceful place to stay , the cabin is nice and cosy with comfortable bedding , shower had good pressure and toilets were super tidy … kitchen and bbq area was on point with everything you need to cook but my favourite part of the place is the fire and movie area under the stars ✨

Sarabah did not disappoint! An amazing spot with our own private creek. Flowing stream and nice deep waterholes for swimming. Open space for the arvo cricket game and friendly cows visits were always welcome. Patrick was lovely to deal with. Thank you. We’ll definitely be back.

What an amazing property situated in the middle of farming country. The section is very private and quiet, with plenty of places for tents. The shower and composting toilet are great too. I spent two nights with my small tent and my car. The only downside is lack of shade so ended up using the shower block as a shadey place to cool meals. Definitely recommend a morning walk up to the turn off too. The horses and cows are very friendly. Ryan made sure I was all settled in and communication was excellent. Definitely recommend!

We visited Mystic Adventures on Christmas Day as a group of four and had an absolutely amazing time. It felt like camping but with everything provided, which made the experience very comfortable and stress free. Even though it was a very hot day, we really enjoyed ourselves and made great memories. The setup was thoughtful and well organised, allowing us to relax and just enjoy the getaway. One of the highlights was the cute little park area for children with lights everywhere, which created such a lovely and welcoming atmosphere. A special mention to Kathryn, who was incredibly warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. She truly made us feel comfortable and added a personal touch to the whole experience. Overall, Mystic Adventures is perfect for couples, families, or friends who want a camping style experience without the hassle. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return.

Weekend Trip to Sarabah Creek Camping

We loved camping here, the site was well maintained right beside the creek. Access was easy to the creek and perfect depth for lounging in the shallows with multiple deep swimming holes. Had the site to ourselves, so our dogs loved running free, the only visitors were the friendly cows. Would definitely recommend this site, we are already arranging a return trip. Perfect for this hot weather!

Perfect stay. Kathryn and Phil have been so thoughtful in the way they have set up the cabin and surrounding area. The cabin and facilities were super-clean, and stocked with everything you would need. Even the fires were pre-sticker with kindling. And the fresh bread was incredible. Thanks so much for a lovely stay, I will be back :)

Weekend Trip to Sarabah Creek Camping

What a fantastic site this is!! Tom and Patrick’s instructions are very clear and precise. The campsites are massive!! They are very quiet and the area is beautiful. There is a small road that runs alongside the campsite but it was definitely not busy! There is a dead end only a few hundred metres up the road so I think for the three days we stayed there maybe two cars past! LOL. Water was nice and clean! Toilet facilities are great! Sites are nice and clean and mowed. Will definitely stay again.

We loved our stay at Mckenzie creek. So private, clean and yet close to Daybrough town for lunch. I felt safe camping there with our 13 month old who loved playing around the campsite. The hot shower and toilet all to ourselves felt like 7 star camping 🏕

From the very first interaction, Kathryn and Phil set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Their warm and thoughtful communication included a delightful surprise: they asked for my preferred type of bread. What arrived was the best gluten-free bread I have ever tasted—fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. The site itself was pure magic. I stayed during the night of the last full moon of 2025, and the peacefulness of the surroundings was almost otherworldly. The clawfoot bathtub under the stars was a highlight—soaking in warm water while gazing at the moonlit sky felt like a dream come true. To top it all off, I enjoyed my first viewing of Love Actually for 2025 on a big screen set up in the bush. Watching a classic film in such a unique setting added a cozy, cinematic touch to an already enchanting evening. Mystic Adventures is more than a campsite—it’s an experience crafted with heart and attention to detail. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility, a touch of luxury, and unforgettable memories.
