The Peach Farm  – Country Calm

After a week in a busy caravan park, we were so ready to breathe in some fresh country air, stretch our legs, and let the kids run wild again. Just 20 minutes north of Yamba, tucked just off the highway at Moror NSW is a little slice of rural magic called The Peach Farm — and what a find it was!

We booked two nights on a site called “Queen Peach” (how good is that name?) — one of many punny and quirky camping spots scattered across this gorgeous Hipcamp property.

Book your own stay here.

First Impressions

Driving into The Peach Farm, we passed a separate parking area for day visitors before winding through to find half a dozen peaceful campsites nestled amongst open paddocks.

Along the way, we spotted a huge animal paddock, an outdoor kids’ playground, a camp kitchen stocked with all the essentials, and a sparkling little dam dotted with kayaks — and ducks, geese, and the most adorable goslings you’ll ever meet (but trust me, their mums are very protective).

Our site had its own picnic table and fire pit, perfect for late-night marshmallow missions and early morning cuppas. For our little Jayco camper and three wildlings, it was camping bliss — simple, spacious, and full of heart.

Under the Stars

Our first evening under the stars was magic. It was a little chilly, but the fire pit kept us cosy while the diesel heater in our old trusty Jayco did the trick once we climbed into bed.

The only sounds were crackling firewood, the odd rooster crowing, and the soft giggles of tired, happy kids.

Day Trip to Yamba

Morning came with the crow of roosters and eager little feet ready to feed the animals. After the farm chores (and about ten “Can we have a bunny?” requests), we jumped in the car for a quick drive to Yamba Beach. The kids splashed in the rock pool, built sandcastles, and soaked up that salty sunshine — pure joy.

By lunchtime, hunger hit hard. On the drive in, I’d spotted a pub with a fenced playground across the Clarence River — mental note: potential golden find. That’s how we ended up at the Harwood Hotel (harwoodhotel.com.au) and wow, it did not disappoint.

We scored a table right next to the playground (winning), ordered some cold drinks, and tucked into seriously good food. Hubby tackled the Spanish twist parmigiana — a monster meal — while I went for the salt and pepper calamari salad, which was light, fresh, and full of flavour. Kids happy, adults fed — perfection.

Back to the Farm

Our final afternoon was spent making the most of farm life — animal cuddles, campfire chats, and new campground friends running around with glow sticks under the stars. The kids were in their element, and we were blissfully relaxed.

For couples, there’s even an outdoor bath and woodfired pizza setup available to hire — such a cute idea for a romantic weekend away.

Our host was just lovely too — friendly, helpful, and there when we needed her (mostly for firewood refills!).

Final Thoughts

The Peach Farm is one of those rare places that just feels right. It’s simple, genuine, and packed with that good old-fashioned country charm.

Whether you’re rolling in with kids and a caravan or sneaking away for a quiet couple’s weekend — it’s a spot that makes you slow down, breathe deep, and remember how good it feels to disconnect for a while.

Thanks for having us, The Peach Farm. We’ll be back.
