Step into tranquillity and get ready for a truly authentic 'bush' experience at Kookaburra, a charming 20-acre farm tucked away between Ulladulla and Nowra on the NSW South Coast! Just under a three-hour drive from bustling Sydney and Canberra, Kookaburra offers a peaceful getaway that'll make you feel worlds away. Imagine setting up camp in our open paddock or nestling under the shade of our tree canopies! As an added bonus, there's a serene creekside just a short bushwalk away. Our area is home to a variety of wildlife, including friendly kookaburras, adorable wallabies and even the occasional wombat! It's definitely a haven for nature lovers! At Kookaburra, we ensure all our guests enjoy privacy and space. However, do bear in mind you're in a shared space and you might see other groups around. We operate on a self-sufficient model, so please remember to dispose of your rubbish responsibly and, of course, leave no trace in nature. Our farm family includes curious and friendly cows, free-roaming chickens and a delightful pig – they might even come say hello when you first pull in! Come join us at Kookaburra for a weekend getaway or an overnight stop. You're always welcome to drive in, pass the house and park in the back paddock. We're generally around if you need anything, but a simple wave is enough! Please note that if you plan to arrive after dark, do let us know in advance so we can provide any necessary arrangements. We allow fires (subject to Fire Danger Ratings), and you can even cut your own firewood! We love pets too, so bring them along, remembering to supervise them around the farm animals and wildlife. Remember – at Kookaburra, phone reception is limited (pretty much non-existent), so be sure to come prepared. And although a 2WD vehicle generally suffices, adverse weather may require a 4WD. Don't forget to bring pest repellent, watch out for those wombat holes and keep an eye out for tree stumps and snakes! We can't wait for you to experience the magic Kookaburra has in store! See you soon!

Site One was a lovely little secluded area with camp fire, lots of friendly cows and no road noise, very peaceful!

Kookaburra One

Great camping spot with a creek

I had an amazing stay at Kookaburra One! The site was easy to find and offered plenty of privacy, nestled in a cow paddock with small cattle, calves, and even a funny little pig. As the name suggests, there were kookaburras around too, adding to the charm. The area was lush with greenery, including ferns near a nearby creek that was easy to access and made for a lovely spot to relax. Out of all the sites, I’d say Site One is the best in terms of privacy and proximity to the creek. There was already a fire pit in place, which was a great touch. It rained overnight during my stay, and although some people have mentioned that 2WD vehicles might struggle in the rain, I had no issues getting out in my Hiace van. However, I can see how 2WD vehicles towing caravans could have some trouble on the wet grass. One thing to be mindful of: the resident pig is a bit of an escape artist! We accidentally let her out while driving in, but someone kindly came to lure her back. The location is also great—close to popular Jervis Bay attractions like Sussex Inlet and Huskisson. I’d definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Just don’t forget to bring bug spray, as the insects are everywhere—but hey, that’s camping for you!

Kookaburra Three

Nice Quiet Stay

Kookaburra 3 was a great stay for my partner and I. The directions were easy to follow, the site was flat and easy to set up the rooftop tent on, cute farm animals were walking about, the creek was close and easily accessible and we bought some farm fresh eggs and were delivered them + extra which was awesome. We had a fire and watched the stars to the sounds of nature in the background. Definitely a great stay!

Kookaburra Two

Pretty Good Close To Home

Overall it was a great spot, and easy to find. Bit of highway noise, but not enough to stop one getting to sleep. Aerogard didn't deter the annoying bugs, like flying ants. Maybe Bushmans would work better. Wife want to come back to swim in the crystal clear creek at the rear of the camp area. Cows were somewhat friendly, and a bit nosey, which we found out by leaving a pan on the outdoor kitchen. Better weather would have made for a very pleasurable long weekend, as the wind was very gusty at times, but at least it kept the bugs at bay.
