I was told that as I journeyed around Australia I would find a place to settle and Maryvale on the Darling Downs was love at first sight. I am happy to share my love for this property and welcome travellers to enjoy the tranquillity of the riverside and enjoy some of the walks and other features of the area. Welcome to She-oak Hideaway, located in Maryvale by the riverside. The riverside is a peaceful place with two large camping areas and firepits. There are 2 large waterholes suitable for swimming, fishing and kayaking. Down by the riverside you will see Water dragons, ducks, swamp hens, many birds, occasional Wallabies and Koala. Most afternoons the local Rikali (Australias Otter) can be seen diving for Yabbies. We are an 11 minute drive to the very popular Main range national Park which has some beautiful hiking trails and is the perfect place for a picnic. We have a great country pub close by as well which is a short walk down a country lane. Pets are welcome but please ensure they are under your control and that you clean up after them. Campers must be self sufficient with their own toilet. Rubbish bins are provided for campers and a treated rain water tap is available. Kayaks and life jackets are available on request. 1 - 10 Amp power connection is also available on request. Please contact me for early arrival time.Welcome to She-Oak Hideaway, located in Maryvale by the riverside. The riverside is a peaceful place with two large camping areas, campfires and hot plates.

Hidden Gem

Paul is an amazing host! It was such a beautiful 3 day weekend away, with most of it having the space to ourselves. Was exactly what we were looking for - relaxation and peace! Thank you so much Paul for an amazing stay, we will absolutely be back!

Great spot close to civilisation

Great level spot near the creek. Paul was a great host, very friendly and kept me informed about rain leading up to our stay. Even with good rain the days before we went, the ground was well drained. We had room to set up badminton and used the kayaks Paul provided to have a paddle it the creek. The eggs, honey and firewood were excellent.

An adbundance of wildlife

Lovely soft green grass. Short walk to the Maryvale Hotel. Paul was an excellent host and very in touch with nature. We saw an abundance of wildlife. Plenty of butterflies, wild ducks, hares, goanna's, water dragons, eastern rosella's, plenty of catfish and even a surprise visit from a small turtle. Water was lovely and deep and fresh to swim in. Got some Eggs and honey from Paul. Honey was amazing! Only a small amount of road noise, barely noticed it. thanks was a beautiful stay.
