Elm Grove Sanctuary is the intersecting point of the Peak River and the Goobarragandrra river, a tradition birth place, in former days, for the local indigenous people.  For the past fifty years it has been a place of quiet retreat for those looking to escape the busy chaos of life.  Tall elms skirt the river bank creating beautiful glades of dappled sunlight. The property backs onto a large network of old gold mines hidden up in the scrub. There are a large number of large water falls walking distance from the cottage, and plenty of fresh trout to catch in the river. The river is great for swimming, kayaking and fishing. Plenty of gorgeous bush walks, waterfalls and historic goldmines to explore, rock climbing and first class rapids for kayaking for the more adventurous.  Quiet little nooks by the river in dappled sunlight; perfect for spending a lazy afternoon in a hammock with a good book. This camp site will be one you'll want be returning to often. There are two fire pits available for campers to enjoy or bring your own fire pit if you'd prefer one at your campsite. There are two pit toilets available for campers to use and pets are welcome.  Please take all rubbish with you on departure.

Amazing place hidden in the mountains. Short walk to the river. Water was crystal clear and fresh. Would definitely be back for a longer stay!

Gorgeous spot!
The camp ground and swimming were superb. Being the end of January it was not crowded. We stayed a week and found it hard to leave. 10 out of 10.👍 Unfortunately the owners live across the road so a bit of noise from mowers and chain saws but the most anoying was one of their dogs that barked a lot. 😟
