Visit the Mother Cluckin’ Hen House

It’s the simple pleasures in life that are usually the most fun and the Mother Cluckin' Hen House never disappoints.   This gorgeous little hut has become a favourite experience for families staying at the park and the kids absolutely love visiting the hens, collecting the eggs and staying for a cuddle and a chat!  And let’s be honest – the adults get pretty into it too!

Chase the Sunset! 

Grab a drink and head to the sunset swing to watch the sky do it’s thing!  Quite possibly the biggest sunset swing in Australia, this is the ultimate spot to soak up the beauty of regional Queensland. The sunsets out here don’t mess around and we can guarantee that you’ll be mesmerised watching the sky transform right before you!

Fire Pit Nights on the Swinging Chairs

When the sun goes down, the place to be is around the fire pit making new friends and memories.  Grab a spot on the swinging chairs, toast a marshmallow and swap a few fishing stories with fellow travellers.  You never know – these moments might become your favourite bits of the trip.
