We have a list of local accommodation and camping facilities on our website this is being updated frequently. There are many amazing places to stay whilst you are visiting the Scenic Rim. Unfortunately we are not allowed to have glamping available on site in 2025.

This year we will have an ATM on site for your convenience. We know we have trouble with our wi fi in certain spots on the farm due to the large number of people on site. Everyone is grabbing that selfie and uploading! So please bring some cash with you for vendors that may not have eftpos available or for small purchases. Especially in the sunflower cutting area.
