Farm Stay Accommodation

Our check-in times are arrival after 11 am and departure by 11 am on departure day.

Yes absolutely it is. You need to come into our place via the Bruce Highway straight onto Mackenzie‘s Road. Come along Mackenzie‘s Road to Zamparuttis Road and up to our Homestead which is No 71. If you have rung ahead you will be sent a text message that helps you to find us. It is preferable to book ahead so you have the text with directions.

Campsites can be powered and each powered site is $30 for two adults and two children and includes water and power.

Unpowered sites are available at $24 but can include water if needed as we have plenty of water. Please note that it is bore water.

Yes, we have showers and toilets and a laundry. It is $4 for a wash and $4 for a dry and you can pay that at the office or as you pay any other fees.

Yes we have a big camp kitchen. It has a small oven, a cooktop and a microwave. It has a sink and of course tables and chairs for you to be able to sit and eat or have a chat with fellow campers.

You certainly can bring a pet but we ask that all pets are kept on a lead. The farm has two border collie dogs that are not on a lead throughout the day because it is their farm however we ask that you keep your pets on a lead at all times and that you clean up after them.

We have a communal fire pit as we don’t allow individual campers to have their own fire. If the conditions are not suitable, either too windy or too wet and we are not able to light it then we will not light a fire. The fire is lit around 5 pm and everyone is welcome to come and have a chat around it.

We have full coverage for Telstra and any other mobile phone services as well.

There is no public phone on site but there is good wifi signal to use your own phone.

The Sunday morning pancake breakfast is $7 per head and it happens in the outdoor kitchen. You don’t need to bring anything. The breakfast includes tea, coffee, Milo and all the pancakes you can eat.

The Friday night barbecue, which was previously held at the Bowls Club, is now held on site. We do a $10 burger with the lot for adults and children, but we also do a $3 sausage in bread for children if they would prefer. It happens in the camp kitchen and around the campfire and is available to everybody. If you are going to be here on Friday night for the burgers or on Sunday for the pancakes book as soon as you arrive on site.

Yes, we do have a shop/office which stocks very basic supplies. We have some ice available and some jams and other things that are produced here in our region which you can purchase. We have plenty of John Deere memorabilia and gifts available for purchase as long as I am in the office and it is open.

No, there is not a dump point. The closest one is in Mackay or Proserpine. There is one at Mirani that you can go to but otherwise there is none close by so you would need to do that before coming in.

If your booking is made online, it needs to be cancelled at least 24 hours prior to your arrival. If you’ve booked directly with us and you want to cancel if you’ve got a good reason I’m going to be happy but if not and it’s within 24 hours you will need to pay because otherwise I’ve kept your site and no one else can come in.

If you come in for seven nights I will give you the eighth night free. There is no maximum length of stay. We don’t have people living here permanently but we are happy to cater for anyone who’s here for a month to 6 weeks.However, if you are staying for a lengthy period of time, we would have to move your van to be out of the way to allow mowing as our lawns are kept very neat.

No, we don’t. If you need to use a generator then you need to book a powered site.

Yes, we have had people come in with mobility issues and haven’t had any issues.

Camping is close to the Homestead but most people love it. It is surrounded by sugarcane. You have got your own space but you’re also close to the Homestead.

Yes, we do have a dam on site, not the one you pass as you come up our driveway. There is a dam in the middle of our farm and it is stocked with barramundi but it is fresh water so they don’t taste that good. People staying on site are free to use the dam. We ask that when you catch a fish, give it a kiss, take a photo and throw it back so the next person can do the same. So yes, it is catch-and-release.
