Levuka
has a low density camping policy so that even on the busiest
weekends, such as Easter, all our guests
are able to enjoy adequate space to retain
privacy. Camping areas A&B
are very large and have hot showers and flush toilets, BBQ,
bush weather shed, rainwater tank, abundant shade trees and
mown lawn, Stone fireplaces and
dotted throughout the camping areas and 2wd access is available
to most of the campsites. The Cedars is a small camping area that will accommodate up to
seven tents, is located on a
creek among cedar trees and has a long drop toilet. Visitors
using The Cedars camping area will need to drive out to
camping ground B to use the hot
showers. Sally wattle campsite is
a small secluded camping area with a tree filled gully
on three sides, located within five minutes walk to the
facilities on camping ground B.
It is perfect for people to use on busy weekends if
accompanied by large over friendly dogs. Guests
who do not wish to use the 4WD tracks can take advantage of
all the World Heritage area and
National Park as well as the two creeks and bush walking
tracks on Levuka. The waterfalls and significant "Old
Growth" trees are within
easy walking distance of roads. |
| Part
of our nature base is the World Heritage and National Park
areas and the opportunity to go
spot-lighting at night. Some of
the species found at night are Antechinus, quolls, phascogale,
glider possums, sugar gliders, koalas
and lots of bandicoots. Two hundred and seventy species of bird
s have been identifies along Beaury Creek.
Many are very rare or endangered
species, we also have in abundance. spiny echidna, wallabies, eastern Grey
kangaroos dingoes. We also have
many rare orchids and mammals as well as "Old
Growth" rainforest. One
third of the property has been preserved and we have a low
impact, sustainable farming
policy. Some significant ancient trees are within walking
distance of the camping grounds. A
stand of Ridge Oaks had been preserved and flocks of Red
Tailed Black Cockatoos feed in
those trees when the acorns are ripe. We
have also preserved our old tree hollows for bird breeding
sites. Future plans include a
water bird breeding area and wet-land restoration. |
