PLEASE NOTE: the property is currently listed for sale. We are happy to take forward bookings with this understanding and will contact all booked parties well in advance if we sell. The market is very slow so we do not expect a fast sale and will ask for a long settlement so please still book :)

So Good Farm
10 sites · Lodging, Tents200 acres · Wyndham, NSW
We purchased our 200-acre property after it was devastated by the Summer 2019/20 bushfires.
We are new to farming and are learning to live on the land. The property came with sheep which we are also learning a lot about, we also have an extremely friendly kelpie named Sage.
We are interested in the idea of becoming organic farmers, love to do our bit for the environment, and want to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We grow herbs and vegetables, have a few fruit trees, and can't wait to plant more. We have fallen in love with farming life and want our farm to be a place of learning and enjoyment and can't wait to share the little place we call home.
So Good Farm is situated 20 minutes west of Pambula Beach on the Sapphire Coast. The property is surrounded by trees and is filled with an abundance of wildlife. There is a creek that runs through the property and a spring feed dam.
Plenty of walking tracks throughout the hilly property with amazing views at various spots, especially the peak of the property, if you are up for the challenge. The property also backs onto a national park. The closest town is only 5min away where you can pick up food supplies and fuel.

Camping near Mallacoota guide
Overview
Sitting pretty on the shores of the Mallacoota Inlet, just a short drive from the VIC-NSW border, Mallacoota is a small town with big views. Whether you want to hike along rocky coves and sea cliffs; swim, snorkel, and paddleboard at the sandy beaches; or watch the kangaroos at Gipsy Point—you’re never far from the water in Mallacoota. Head inland to admire the views at Genoa Falls, enjoy boating and water sports at Top Lake and Bottom Lake, and go fishing and bird-watching along the inlet. Campers have a choice of holiday parks, caravan parks, and campgrounds, with a mix of powered sites and tent sites.
Where to go
Croajingolong National Park
Granite cliffs, rocky headlands, and white-sand beaches stretch along the coast at Croajingolong National Park, just a short drive south of Mallacoota. Paddle around the inlets in a kayak or canoe, hike along rugged coastal trails, and look out for wildlife, including koalas, platypuses, whales, and more than 300 species of bird. The five national park campgrounds have unpowered sites with BBQs, picnic tables, and non-flush toilets.
Gabo Island
Marooned off the coast of Mallacoota and Cape Howe, Gabo Island is known for its rocky shores, diverse wildlife, and historic lighthouse. Cruise out to the island by boat or take a short seaplane flight and spot Little Penguins, dolphins, and whales around the jetty. Glampers can even stay overnight in the old lighthouse keepers’ cottage.
Coopracambra National Park
If you’re looking to escape the crowds, Coopracambra National Park is the place. This is one of Victoria’s most remote and rugged conservation areas, where you can hike along wilderness trails or explore off-road in a 4WD. Bush camping is permitted within the park, but there are no facilities, so you’ll need to bring everything you need with you.
When to go
Blessed with cool summer breezes and the warmest winter temperatures in all of Victoria, Mallacoota is a year-round destination for outdoor adventurers. Summer is the best time to hit the beach, and the small town fills up with vacationers over the Christmas and Easter holidays. To avoid the crowds, come in late spring or early autumn instead, when it’s still warm enough to swim.
