✨ Wine, roasted marshmallows, and a crackling fire... your winter escape is calling. 🍷🍫

Let's be honest—winter is secretly the best time to go camping. The air is crisp, the stars are brighter, and there is nothing quite like pulling up a chair and unwinding by a roaring fire after a day of exploring the Sapphire Coast. 🌌🦘

To make your winter getaway even cozier, we are treating you. Book any campsite at Kangarutha Farm during June, July, or August, and your campfire wood is completely FREE. 🪵🔥

No foraging in the dark—just pure, cozy basecamp perfection located only 7 minutes from the beach.

Pack your favorite wine, grab the marshmallows, and come join us by the fire. 🏕️👇

🥂 The Season is Wrapping Up… Time to Celebrate Your Team?

For many local businesses, the ANZAC Day long weekend marks the finish line of a huge season. If you work in tourism or hospitality, you know that feeling of finally winding down!

Our friends have held their end-of-season staff gathering right here at Kangarutha Farm every May.

Why it works for (and could work for you):

🔥 Relaxed Atmosphere: Get the campfire going and swap stories in a quiet, undisturbed natural setting.

🏠 Versatile Event Space: Our rustic venue is perfect for local catering and can be styled for anything.

🌿 Connection: It’s a space where teams can truly reconnect away from the "busy-ness" of the office or shop front.

Whether you are planning a social gathering, a team celebration, a meeting, or a creative workshop, Kangarutha provides the privacy and peace to make it special.

Let’s make your next event work. 📩 Send us a DM to book a tour of our event space—we’d love to help you plan your next team catch-up!

🚧 Mimosa Rocks NP Closures? We’ve got the perfect backup plan!

If you’ve heard the news about the upcoming upgrades in Mimosa Rocks National Park, don’t let the "Road Closed" signs ruin your holiday plans. While Nelsons Beach, Middle Beach, Gillards, and Aragunnu take a little break for renovations, Kangarutha Farm is open and ready to welcome you! 🌿

Kangarutha offers everything you love about the National Park, plus a few perks you won't find there:

📍 Prime Location: We back directly onto Bournda National Park—you get the same stunning forest vibes and coastal access.

🐕 Dog Friendly: No need to leave your best friend behind! Unlike the NPWS sites, we love having your well-behaved pups along for the adventure.

🔥 Campfires & Comfort: Enjoy a real campfire under the stars, plus the luxury of hot showers, flushing toilets, and a full camp kitchen.

🚲 Pedal to the Pier: We are right on the Tathra-Kalaru bike trail. It’s an easy ride straight into town for a coffee or a surf.

🛶 Farm Fun: Explore our own forest trails and tranquil dams—perfect for a morning stroll or a quiet afternoon by the water.

✨ Space & Privacy: More room to spread out and more peace than a crowded public campground.

There’s truly no better time to discover your new favorite South Coast base camp.

The Easter crowds are gone... but the magic is just beginning.
The long weekend might be over, but the school holidays are still in full swing! If you’ve been waiting for the "big rush" to pass before making your move to the coast, now is your time.

The air is crisp, the water is at its warmest, and the trails are calling. Here are 5 reasons why Kangarutha Farm should be your family base camp for the rest of the holidays:

🌳 Room to Breathe: Forget cramped holiday parks. We have plenty of space for the kids to run wild and for your dog to enjoy the farm and trails right by your side.

🌊 Summer’s Last Hurrah: The water is at its warmest this time of year! For a refreshing quick dip, our two favorite local spots are Tathra Beach and Kiananny Bay.

🚲 World-Class MTB: Ride straight from your tent and onto the famous Tathra Mountain Bike trails. No bike racks required.

🥾 Coastal Wandering: Explore the stunning Kangarutha Walking Track for hidden coves and breathtaking Sapphire Coast views.

🏕️ Comfort on a Budget: It’s camping, but not as you know it. Enjoy hot showers, modern flushing toilets, and our full camp kitchen—all for a fraction of the price of a hotel.

The best part? There is still fuel at the bowsers, plenty of sunshine in the forecast, and we still have availability for you, your family, and your best four-legged friend. 🐾

Don't let the holidays slip away—come and find your quiet corner of the coast.
