Close to everything, an oasis in suburbia. 5 acre property, 30 mins from airport, 5 mins to Cleveland and Stradbroke ferry, 15 mins to Sleeman Aquatic Centre and Belmont Shooting Complex. 3 large grassed sites Easy access to public transport - 200m to bus stop, 3km to train station Only one site has bathroom access, Hillhead. One acre dog enclosure available for friendly dogs. Large grassed areas among gum trees, set high so there are sea breezes in summer. Lots of birdlife, with kookaburras, galahs, curlews, cockatoos and lorikeets nesting on site, you will meet our friendly magpie and butcherbirds too. We are in a koala zone and occasionally get visitors during breeding season, and there's been a few wallaby sightings recently. We have a small hobby farm with chickens and ducks. We also have a goat, native bees, a worm farm and an aquaponics system Plenty of local activities and events. Too many to list! Beaches, bush and city stuff too The closest activity is the mini-golf at Alexandra Hills Hotel and Conference Centre. The hotel is very handy for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you don't feel like cooking. Family friendly and reasonably priced. There is a playground for kids and a bottle shop. Defibrillator on property. Fire extinguishers on site. Farm Fresh Eggs Available...... Emergency Department 4.5 km away at Redlands Hospital.

Conveniently located in Cleveland, 5 min drive from the ferry. Perfect if you are stopping by for the night. The host came and welcomed us. There was enough space between tents/vans to have privacy. Was hoping to spot koalas but I wasn’t that lucky :)

Good stay, welcoming and pleasant
We spent our first night at Tallowwood on our trip from Brisbane to Sydney. An excellent start to our journey on the welcoming ranch of Neil and Paula. We had a powered site and were able to top up on water before heading south. A pleasant stay and start of our camping adventure :) Thanks to Paula for the tip to visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary - of course we took the advice from a wildlife rescuer!

Loved this spot. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and it was quiet and lovely with the trees and chickens that would come around now and then. It was close to Wellington Point and Cleveland.

Paula and Neil were wonderful hosts particularly since we kinda crashed their Christmas. Lovely grassy spaces set amoungst the shade trees. So close to all the island ferries or a quick run back into Brisbane CBD, hospitals etc.

Paula was very welcoming. Her garden is beautiful and we had a really nice stay. It is a very convenient location, close to shops, beach and ferry terminal to Straddie!
