Wonderful 1st camping experience
It was my family 1st ever camping experience.
We were thankful that the other campers were very friendly, helpful and kind which made the experience extra special. They helped us setting up our tent which was a relief.
We were greeted in the evening by a few of the residents at the farm while handing the firewood we booked and we've purchased 2 dozens of fresh, free-range eggs.
The common camping area had 1 shared campfire pit. I'd say the space can comfortably fit 8-10 groups/ tents at a time.
The bathrooms and toilets were basic but adequate, making the experience more authentic.
We were lucky to get a clear sky after some drizzle of rain. The children had fun star gazing just by the camp fire.
The next day around 6 am, we got the chance to see volunteers at the farm milking cows. My children loved the experience. We didn't get the chance to see the goats they have on the farm as we were rushing to leave for home while making a few stops along the way.
The host recommended a few waterfalls nearby. We went to Protestors Waterfalls in the Nightcap National Park. You aren't suppose to go for a dip there as the place was a habitat for a certain type of protected native frog. But just near the parking area/ picnic site, you can go for a dip in the cooling, crystal clear water.
All in all, we were happy with our stay, and given the opportunity we would definitely come again. I wished we would have stayed longer and perhaps camping there during a cooler day time.

Camping Platform Zaytuna Farm
A place to learn how to live
Stayed as part of PDC July 2024
Every single person on the Farm was helpful and kind. This is a place I would love to revisit. It was a pleasure to visit the dairy and see the cows enjoy the food forest, the goats and chickens and to hear the abundance of life across the property. The demonstration of Swales and dams and spillways was educational, along with the Nurseries and main crop areas. The volunteers who were on the property at the time were the kindest people with wonderful humour. And the families who helped create the experience for us were above and beyond lovely.
My favourite parts of the land are the night sky, the dawn stars and millions of stars as well as the early morning winter fog and endless lessons all around.
Each part of the farm started as some component of a grand design I couldn't quite recognise, but as the course continued, I started to learn about their relationships and functions within the landscape.
I'll always love the campfire, the sounds of nature and the beauty of design, but mostly, the people of Zaytuna deserve every happiness. 🌹

Family camping
My third time staying here, first was with my family incl. our 7yr old son and the last two stays were for a PDC course.
The facilities were exactly as described and the farm experience was fantastic for those seeking insights into permaculture.
The wildlife walks were lovely, staff were wonderful to deal with and the entire experience exactly as hoped for.
It’s enlightening experiencing sustainable design and integrated living, gaining a taste of how life can and should be with people and place maximising benefits and abundance.
Thank you to all involved for the wholesome experience.

Great experience
I had a pleasant experience during my stay in the tent. The location is aesthetically pleasing, and I experienced a sense of tranquility while residing there.

So great to have a camping platform. It was nice to be tenting, while it was raining for about two weeks straight and didn't get wet.
Thanks heaps Zaytuna Farms you guys rock! :)

Our 7yr old son, wife and I, enjoyed camping at Zaytuna Eco Hamlet this weekend. It was cool though the fire was wonderful. The mist was beautiful and the warm days were a joy to walk around the property, seeing cows, and enjoying the creek, dams and kitchen gardens.
The facilities were clean and the overall feeling was one of peace and quiet.
