We loved this place so much that a big part of me wanted to leave a scathing review so we have it to ourselves in future!
We booked at very short notice- only a few hours beforehand. Scott promptly made contact with directions and need-to-know details. Upon arrival he met us at the gate and showed us to our campsite which is set on beautifully lush farmland. We camped on a secluded paddock overlooking the river, with a view of lush green pastures, bushland, and mountains in the distance which are magically misty in the mornings. Curious cows greeted us in the mornings and evenings, much to the joy of the kids.
There is a 5-6m drop on the site by the river, so campers with young children might wish request to be positioned by the creek, or a safe distance away to ensure little ones don't accidentally wander off the edge.
The river is a short stroll or 4WD through a narrow track through bushland, with options for a paddle in the shallows, a float downstream in shallow rapids, or a dip in the deeper swimming holes up or down stream.
The water is clear and pristine, and you can see fish swimming and feeding from the shore.
Scott and his wife Anne welcomed us in the afternoon to feed their friendly farm animals- horses, donkeys, mini Highland cows, pigs, and goats.
There are no amenities or potable water, so you must be fully self-sustained. 2WDs may struggle with the dirt tracks in the wet.
We absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back.
