A beautiful eco-friendly property with lovely water holes and running water from the river where the environment is safe. Pitch your tent or drive in your camper van in a secluded area with lots of trees and natural environment where birds can wake you with their morning songs A beautiful stroll to the nearby river is a wonderful experience as you explore, swim, canoe, Kayak or float down the river (1.2 klm) in the beauty of nature around you. You can even throw a line in and you might catch a fish. There is a lovely covered platform you can sit on as you reflect. If you are quiet enough you might see a platypus or two or catch a fish. There are walking tracks or bike riding for kids, if you have a horse or pony you can bring them along too. How about a game of outdoors skittles or spot the native plants, pick a citrus fruit or maybe spot a wallaby, echidna, possum or laugh with the kookaburra's. There is a natural stone campfire where you can sit at night or meet other campers, or just to sit and gaze at the stars. Tales of the past might be spoken if asked. You can hear the night birds and owls. If you are lucky you will see fire fly in the right season. A great place to relax, spend family quality time together, uninterrupted by technology and you relive the Shalom-peace of nature, making memories that you will keep for a lifetime. The little quaint villages that surround Federal are great for a visit. If you want the best sushi in the area then stop at the popular Doma Cafe next to the general store in Federal, you will want to visit more than once after your taste buds have been awakened. Byron bay is a 15-20 min drive on a scenic drive, or visit the biggest little town in Australia Mullumbimby a 15-18 min drive. Bangalow and Lennox heads, Lovely beaches at Brunswick Heads or Ocean Shores are all within 35 min drive the choice is yours. Magical Minyon Falls with its powerful and wonderful waterfalls and uninhabited valley is a must. Don't forget to go bushwalking while you are there. There are also other national parks like mount Jerusalem that are close by. The farm does have orchards and bee hives. Slashing and planting of vegetables will be happening soon everything is organic. If you would like to purchase some organic farm jam just let me know. The stone wall entrance was constructed at the turn of last century and you feel like you have stepped back in time as you imagine those who came across the area as they were amazed at what the area had to offer. Remember it is the Australian bush so there could be snakes just. as there is with all bush in Australia about depending on the time of the year. There is a first aid kit on the property. The local hospital is in Byron 15 minute drive away. A toilet is completed. We have had a celebrity stay for a weekend so you never know who you will see. There are celebrities that live in Federal so you may bump into one. The Federal store is where we will meet you as you follow us into the property. If you arrive on a Saturday, as it is the busiest of days for us, the times for meeting is 6pm. Every other day is flexible with time for meeting. Enjoy your unique time here we are so happy to have you come and stay with us.

Eco Shalom Nature Stay - Group Site

Jessica met up with us at the arranged location on time. they guided us into the campsite with ease. One of us had a prius and if you know how to take the right lines its not that bad to get in with a 2wd as long as you're confident and know what you are doing. The stay was lovely and relaxing. Plenty of whip birds and other wildlife to see and listen, the river was a short walk from where we were staying and quite refreshing. we had one little issue with a tree that had fallen on the way out but was easily cleary with a chansaw we had. Would definetly come back to stay here again

Eco Shalom Nature Stay

Lovely open space, we were fortunate to have the place to ourselves, I can see a group camp together as friends or family would be awesome, we had a lovely swim in the river, the road is a bit washed out due to rain and the concrete tracks exposed so careful driving was needed with our 4WD.

A nice bush stay for 4WDs

Eco Shalom Nature Stay

Jessica was a kind host. The creek was so close and a nice stop for a dip too. However, our car really struggled with the drive in. It bottom out, scraped and the passengers had to get out of the car once to be able to get over a bump. I don't think I'd stay again unless I had a 4WD. We were quite stressed it would rain and we'd never get out.

What a lovely secluded spot! The river was amazing and we saw a beautiful kingfisher flying by.

Eco Shalom Nature Stay

A few things made this Hipcamp a bit lacklustre. Firstly, we were required to arrive at the Federal Store at a specific time (6pm) where Jessica was a no show. There was no reception so fortunately we were able to get onto the general store wifi to sort it out. The circumstances were out of her control but we didn’t appreciate how it was handled. Secondly, the entry to the property is not good for low clearance cars. We did it in a Mazda 6 but it dragged the bottom throughout a lot of it. If you like your 2WD car be wary it’s at risk of being damaged. Finally, while the property is expansive there’s not too many flat laying sites leading to some sites being in closer proximity than you’d expect. You’ll share your bathroom visits with lots of spiders but that’s ok, it’s in a beautiful jungle environment with a gorgeous creek. Lots of potential for the host if these issues are addressed.
