The Good Life Hobby Farm

6 sites · RVs, Tents112 acres · Nana Glen, NSW

Wake up to the sounds of the Australian bush and the sight of kangaroos and wallabies grazing in the pasture. This property offers a truly immersive back to nature experience. It's the ideal spot to unwind and relax. Privacy is paramount here. With spacious camping areas strategically spread across the property, you will have your own secluded spot to pitch your tent or park your RV or camper. This is your own personal oasis, where you can truly embrace the beauty of the great outdoors. It's Nana Glen's hidden gem, a new hobby farm with lush green pastures and stunning landscape views. A tranquil and private setting, this property is the perfect destination for those seeking to rejuvenate and reconnect with nature. Things to do at The Good Life Hobby Farm are what you want them to be, from relaxing with a good book and soaking up the tranquility, take a leisurely stroll around the farm or a more vigorous bushwalk through the 70 acres of bushland with lots of trails. At night, marvel at the starlit sky while experiencing the wonder of complete silence, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Our Story: We have recently purchased and moved to this gorgeous property and are planning a toilet and shower block, picnic tables and a rain water tank for drinking. We'll be getting more animals, growing loads of fruit and veg and be able to provide farm fresh eggs. So many exciting things to look forward to, we'd love to have you visit and enjoy our journey! Local Attractions: Visit one of the breath taking beaches of the Coffs Coast only 25 minutes drive away or enjoy the many tourist attractions the area has to offer including the Big Banana Fun Park, Forest Sky Pier and Butterfly Farm. Shops and Restaurants: There's a pub (great meals!), bakery and takeaway shop only 5 minutes drive away in the historic town of Glenreagh, and, a cafe, chemist, service station and general store at Nana Glen 10 minutes drive away. Communications: There isn't any wifi signal available. Phone signal should be fine for Optus customers, Telstra customers not so much.

11 sites · RVs, Tents104 acres · Sherwood, NSW

HIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE! Pure. Unadulterated. WILD. 104 very private acres, securely sandwiched between a National Park Nature Reserve and State Forest. On a dead end road. No agriculture or farms upstream, only one other like-minded property owner. Secluded, but hiding smack bang in the middle of everywhere! From vertiginous sandstone cliffs on which epipetrics cling tight, right through to palm-filled rainforests, and with two quite different creek systems (including a monster waterfall), you'll be spoiled for things to do and places to explore - without even leaving the property! HISTORY This land is Gumbaynggirr land. Please be particularly mindful of our First Nation's long presence on this land. In the 1800's, white men came seeking Red Cedar, closely followed by settlers having a go at dairying; though logging has remained this area's mainstay. This special property, despite last being selectively logged about 50 years ago, hosts many huge old-growth trees remaining steadfast for your discovery and wonder. And many more are continuing to grow out too. About 35 years ago about nine of this property's eastern-most 104 acres became part of a far larger nashi pear orchard which filled much of the flats of this top end of the valley that you see today. Ultimately they failed to set good commercial fruit, and the rootstocks took over. You can see remnant rows of these trees just south of the property, from along the road. (Beware though - they have spikes that could puncture Caterpillar tracks!) MORE RECENTLY extensive lantana control efforts have been undertaken as we now move into revegetating with native species and implementing a permaculture plan. Today the property is registered with Land For Wildlife and hosts a very wide mix of native vegetation communities. ACTIVITIES Bird watch. Climb. Abseil. Photograph wildflowers. Paint. Swim. In the next valley there's even gold to be found. Explore trails by mountain bike. Whale watch. Surf. Learn SCUBA. Go beach-combing. Catch a mudcrab. Go whitewater river rafting. Ask your host about where to find all the local waterfalls, the best walking, how to find gold, the gnarliest off-road tracks, Anything is possible here in this magnificent part of the world, except perhaps snow and ice.

Oasis of Hope

27 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · Upper Orara, NSW

Nested in the Coffs Harbour hinterland is this stunning 250 acre property, offering both powered and unpowered site options and great facilties over 2 campsites. Wayper Creek flows though the property, and there are manicured lawns, a large toilet and shower block with hot showers, a caravan dump point, a large BBQ shelter, firepit, and lots of lovely spots to enjoy the plethora of wildlife. During holiday season we have a second campsite opened, which has lovely amenities, too. We regularly have abseilers come down our creek, as a set of 7 waterfalls is only a 60-minute hike through the creek away. It is a stunning place for relaxation. Pets are welcome too.

Dagoodness

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Nymboida, NSW

A small acreage on Armidale road in the village of Nymboida, handy locations for stop over or a longer stay. The beautiful Nymboida River is in walking distance, the Canoe Centre is a 2 min drive and community hall is in walking distance. There are plenty of activities local to this area including walking hiking and canoeing; or simply just to relax in nature! I am passionate about growing organic vegetables / fruit and have free range chickens and ducks here. I make artisan soaps, candles and sourdough bread on the property that are for sale to guests when available. There are no amenities here, campers must be self contained and leave no trace.
