    Welcome to our river retreat. Ideal for those seeking privacy, peace and solitude away from the socials and technology. Kingfisher's Hut sits on 80 acres of our 240 acre property, on a high bank overlooking the Macdonald River as it makes it way towards the confluence with the Namoi River. Ideally suited for a couple (children and fur babies also welcome) or small groups, and those who are new to a nature escape holiday. A small solar system provides lighting (but not recharging of devices). Our insulated cabin provides a comfortable double bed and pot belly stove for the colder months. Our bush kitchen provides your basic needs with a BBQ, 12 volt fridge, and fully equipped camp kitchen. Our open fire is set up for cooking or for just sitting, relaxing and staring into the flames. Our bush bathroom provides a toilet and wood fired hot shower. Or you might chose to relax in a hot bath overlooking the river. We welcome nature lovers and offer activities such as bush walking, bird watching, native wildlife, swimming, picnicking, kayaking (double kayak provided), catch and release fishing (seasonal and with Fishing Licence), and big open night skies for astronomy enthusiasts. We are a small farming enterprise and currently establishing aquaculture (yabby) ponds and can offer an introductory tour to those who are interested.Kingfisher's Hut sits within an 80 acre paddock of bush land, overlooking the MacDonald River. Named for the Azure Kingfishers that live along the river, there is abundant bird life to quietly observe. Generally, you will have exclusive use of the whole 80 acres of our river paddock and enjoy nearly one km of river access for walking, swimming, kayaking and fishing (when in season). Access to the hut is via a well-maintained farm track and suitable for most 2WD vehicles. Our section of river contains swimming holes, sandy beaches, deep holes for fishing and a section of rapids which are brilliant in hot weather. There are picnic spots and tracks for bush walking. The views, vistas, wildlife visits, peace and tranquility are all accessible the moment you arrive. There is a comfy double bed, pot belly stove, wood fired hot shower and open sky bathtub, and long drop toilet (loo with a view) overlooking the river. The camp kitchen provides all the basics that you will need including a small fridge/freezer, BBQ and open fire for cooking. We are waiting delivery of some fresh water tanks so at the moment you will need to bring drinking water. We do have have water for washing, shower, bath etc

    Amazing stay and the host, Sue and Phill are lovely people who thought of everything when creating the hut and kitchen. The hut is comfortable with lots of charming touches and the kitchen has everything you'll need. The shower is one of the best you'll ever use and the outdoor bathtub is nice after a day at the river. The view of the river was beautiful and there were plenty of swimming holes. Hands down the best Hipcamp stay. We will be back soon.
