Augie is one of our resident Koalas. He was released onto our property from Australia Zoo Hospital in 2023, just the same year we arrived here. Our little paradise features 30 acres, of which 20 belong to Augie and his friends as prime Koala habitat. On the remaining acres we enjoy having a stunning little lake, just creating that zen feeling. Camping spots all have stunning views of the lake which invites you to take a stroll around following an easy walking track. Maybe you can spot Augie or be delighted by the beautiful local birds that share our space. Our Kangaroo family usually grazes until sunrise just on the open grass area near the camp spots. This space is perfect for kicking a ball and if you are interested in hearing and learning about Permaculture and/or Conservation, be sure to chat to your host Tanja. Children under 12 stay free. Please continue to add them to your booking (you won't be charged), so we can keep track of numbers. A delicious breaky can be enjoyed at the nearby Cooloola Strawberry farm (2 min by car) or maybe try a subtropical dinner at Sublime (5 min by car) a quirky QLD pub. Destinations to explore close by include Fraser Island, Tin Can Bay, and Rainbow Beach (between 35 and 45 min drive, 50 min to the Fraser Island Ferry), Lake Poona (30 min) nature trail, or visit Ponoma market (40 min) and Gympie’s cafes and shops (15 min) just around the corner.Welcome and Herzlich Wilkommen to our little paradise set on 30 beautiful acres.

We had a fantastic stay at Tanja's land! The lake was absolutely stunning and made for such a peaceful backdrop. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. It was so quiet and serene—Waking up to see kangaroos hopping around, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to relax in nature.

Beautiful spot with a fantastic host, Ben. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, looking out for us & delivering firewood to our site. We will definitely be back!

Had such a beautiful time here, the hosts were so welcoming and lovely they really made my stay. The property is beautiful, would recommend to anyone who is looking for something a bit quieter off the beaten track but still close to main supermarkets! Had a great time would recommend 10 out of 10

Lovely little farm. It was nice to have a proper toilet, rather than a long drop or composting toilet. It was a good quiet spot and the pond was very pretty in the morning.
