Just 10km from the beaches of Emu Park and 14km from the lively hub of Yeppoon, Thyme Travellers Farm Stay strikes the perfect balance between tranquil countryside living and easy access to the Capricorn Coast’s top attractions.
Tucked away in peaceful bushland, this 25-acre hidden gem for campers and animal lovers opened only four months ago but has quickly become a haven for those seeking to reconnect with nature.
Owners and former Central Queensland miners Michelle and James have owned the property for the last six years, and in the last two years have been spent bringing their farm stay vision to life, crafting an idyllic retreat ideal for families, couples, and anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Visitors are welcomed by a friendly assortment of farm animals, including cows, horses, goats, and chickens, all available for petting, making it an ideal family-friendly destination.
Voted ‘Best Camping on the Capricorn Coast’ by HIPCAMP, the farm offers basic facilities such as a camp kitchen, toilets, and hot showers, ensuring a comfortable yet rustic experience. Campers can unwind by the dam, wander among the fruit trees, and bask in the serene atmosphere.
For those traveling with pets, the farm is pet-friendly, and cooler evenings are made even better with firepits and firewood available for purchase.
Reflecting on their journey, owner Michelle Davey-Mattson shared, “We’ve poured so much of our hearts into this farm, and seeing it come to life has been truly rewarding.”
“Our aim is to create a place where people can relax and reconnect with nature, and we’re thrilled about the future as we continue to expand.”
Looking ahead, Thyme Travellers plans to introduce new features and amenities that will further elevate the farm for guests, including those with disability.
Mary Carroll, CEO of Capricorn Enterprise, praised the new farm stay, saying, “Thyme Travellers Farm Stay is a wonderful addition to the Capricorn Coast’s ever-growing tourism scene.”
“It offers a unique, highly sought after, immersive experience that enhances the region’s appeal as a must-visit destination.”
With its prime location near Emu Park and Yeppoon’s beaches, paired with the peaceful rural setting, Thyme Travellers is set to become a favourite among both locals and visitors. For more information, visit Thyme Travellers Farm Stay on Facebook, or call 0460 300 321 to book your stay.
