Set amongst the peace and quiet of the cane fields, Jarravale offers mountain views, beautiful sunsets and that fantastic country feeling.

You are welcome to help Josie with the daily running of the farm, all you have to do is ask her. We are perfectly situated if you want to explore the Mackay region and what the Pioneer Valley has to offer. Come and watch Platypus and turtles play in the billabong. No fires allowed at all, not even for cooking, except in winter. Fire pits will be provided, in winter, not individual fires allowed. We have fire pits to keep you warm on the cool winter nights as you sit around and share your travel stories. Sit back in tranquility as you watch the platypus, turtles and wild life gather in and around the billabong as the sun sets. It's a great way to finish the day. We also offer indoor accommodation for those who prefer all the mod cons. There are toilets and hot showers for campers, and access to the laundry. We have potable water hookups at most camp sites and we also offer four powered sites. You can use one of the two camp kitchens to cook your meals and use the picnic table for meals.

Cool overnight stay and animals to

Josie is a great host, she greeted us very warmly and showed us around our spot. We had site 4 with electricity and water, in a great location. On Josie's farm we were able to admire all the animals and even pet some of them. For children and animal lovers this is a great place to forget everything around them, we thought the stay was great and would love to come back.

Amazing experience

This place was amazing! We basically had the place to ourselves as we were 'camped by the billabong' 😅 where there were platypus right infront of us. Josie was a great host allowing us the freedom to pick the perfect spot and really included my lil man, giving him the opportunity to pat many animals and even hold a baby chick! We had the best time, the animals were all so sweet aswel (except maybe for the macaws, very cheeky 😅) Such great value aswel, Josie really could charge a lot more for this amazing experience. Can't wait to come back

Family Friendly Farm Stay

We stayed for 2 nights on a powered site and loved every minute. The farm is well laid out, allowing easy viewing of animals outside of tour times. There is a great camp kitchen and the facilities were clean and the owners & staff were friendly and accommodating. Located only 30mins from Mackay - we will be back again soon!
