A forgotten pocket of Australia,
where nature reigns supreme.

Clarence River Wilderness Lodge is a spectacularly wild and remote off-grid holiday destination, situated on the headwaters of the Clarence River in the rugged Great Dividing Range.

Leave the digital world at the gate while you reconnect to nature, your partner, your friends and your family as you sit around the campfire by the river. Your kids will enjoy having the freedom to ride bikes, swim, canoe and explore the bush like kids have always done.

With over four thousand hectares of river crafted country preserved in a wildlife refuge that is noted for the diverse abundance of its native animals and the wild splendour of its scenery, it’s hard to believe that this forgotten pocket of Australia is just 3 hours from Brisbane!

Whether you’re after an environmentally sustainable and off-grid holiday destination, an affordable digital detox, or a back-to-nature family or a group camping trip, your hosts, Sharon and Stephen, warmly welcome you to our wilderness retreat.
