Middle Camp
Great spot to swim and kayak with your own farm access to the river. We saw some platypus in the river. Camp grounds were really nice, facilities were great. There was plenty of fire wood prepared for us and the wood fired shower was sensational.
The hosts Graham and Chris were amazing.
We would love to visit there again.

Cosy Log Cabin
The log cabin was fantastic. We enjoyed staying there as well as camping using our tent. The site is very well laid out and has many useful features for visitors.
Graham and Chris were very welcoming and generous hosts. The area is beautiful and looks even better than the photographs!
Very highly recommended. We will certainly plan to return soon

Historic Woodside Church 1869
We loved our 3 nights staying in the historic Woodside church. Chris and Graham gave us a full tour and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.
I really loved all the little things – the fresh flowers, vintage tea towels, vintage crockery & cutlery, ice-box fridge, jaffle irons, and the camp oven.
The beds were comfy, there was plenty of firewood, the piano provided lots of amusement, and the bucket shower worked a treat!!
Really looking forward to coming back.

Historic Woodside Church 1869
We stayed for a long weekend in the little church and had the best time. Graham and Chris have been excellent hosts who made sure we had everything we needed. The church itself was well equipped with a wood-fired oven for colder nights, and enough firewood is provided. Outside of the church is a sink for doing the dishes (well equipped with a drying rack, sponges, etc.). There is no stove, but you can prepare your food over a bonfire (or bring your camping stove as we did). Pots, pans, plates, glasses, and cutlery are all there.
A special gem is the bucket shower – just heat up water in a wood-fired boiler outside of the church and enjoy 3 minutes of hot shower in the little shed with the toilet and sink. Pure luxury! Before we arrived, it had rained a lot, so we had enough rainwater for the dishes, toilet, and showering. In case it's of interest: cell reception was pretty good.
Additionally, it is fantastic to watch the Milky Way there due to the lack of light pollution and the exposed location of the church. There are no obstructions to disturb the view, providing an amazing stargazing experience.
Overall, it was an unforgettable stay, and we highly recommend it!

Cosy Log Cabin
Rustic & Relaxing Stay
We loved our stay at the log-cabin and were touched by the hospitality of Graham and Chris. They are fabulous hosts. The place is ideal for nature lovers and has a rustic charm. The log house and amenities are hand crafted and work flawlessly. Surrounded by trees, ample of birds to hear and sight, plenty of open areas for children to play, Ryan’s den to enjoy family meals and close to manning river. Campfire site is great, equipped with all facilitie😀 we had fun cooking and relaxing at this place. Also had a tour of other church site cabin and it was amazing. Grateful to the hosts to upgrade us from tent site to log cabin. It was an awesome experience for my family. Hoping to come back here again.

Cosy Log Cabin
Comfortable cabin in a nice spot
We had a great couple of days here, filled with some kayaking, some walks and lots of relaxing. Plenty of firewood to enjoy nightly campfires. Graham and Chris are lovely people and were extremely helpful. They have maintained the cabin beautifully.
