The property comprises level, open grassland with scrub, that visitors can access with motorbikes, quads, buggies or any 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Eleven rooms are available: four doubles and eight singles. All rooms have electricity, a shower, toilet, fridge with freezer, stoves, pots, and other utensils. 

Visitors can also put up their tents at one of the camping sites. When making a campfire, there is no need to bring firewood, as plenty is available on the property.

All safety precautions and agreements made during booking must be followed and observed. Visitors must also keep their distance from grazing cattle and sheep.

Property History and Information

The owners bought the first section (one-fifth) of the current property in 1992 and gradually purchased the other four areas over time to create a combined 20,000 acres. They also integrated farming and developed farm dams.

The property owners like to share access to their land, as they believe everyone should be able to enjoy the beautiful location. They allow hunting and fishing to maintain the balance of predators and prey in their area.

The property owners are available for further inquiries and a chat when visitors are staying but prefer to be given prior notice.

Tourist Attractions

There are a number of tourist attractions in Coonamble town, for example, the Coonamble Water Tower, Museum under the Bridge, Outback Arts Gallery, Nickname Hall of Fame, Coonamble Greyhound Racing Track, War Memorial, Peace Tree, Aboriginal murals, and many others.

Additional Supplies

There are several pubs, clubs, grocery stores, and fuel stations with mechanical and auto services in Coonamble if visitors need more supplies, fuel, or vehicle repairs.
