Castle Rock Farm offers ‘swag stays’ on eco-deck
With travellers more than ever considering how their holiday impacts the environment and local communities, Castle Rock Farm in central Queensland, has launched a new style of accommodation.
Wrapping up a true-blue Aussie experience in an easy, fun-filled, rustic adventure, Castle Rock Farm guests can now sleep in a swag on the new undercover and elevated eco-deck overlooking the farm and Byfield National Park.
The four double swags and two single swags come fully equipped with all linen, doonas, towels, and pillows – perfect for guests wanting to take the fuss out of camping.
Castle Rock Farm is set on 45ha of private rainforest at Byfield, 40 minutes’ drive north of Yeppoon, and offers an ideal spot to relax, reflect and reconnect.

Adding to existing accommodation options, including a hand-crafted timber chalet and rustic studio, Castle Rock owner John Auriac said he was proud of the new addition to the farm.
“The swags are perfect for families who want to try camping for the first time, without having to purchase all the gear and setting it up,” John said.
“While we already have our popular studio accommodation which sleeps eight all in one room, the swags will be a great option for small groups who want to share the experience, but still have individual privacy and bedding.”
The affectionately known ‘canvas castles’ are fully screened with comfortable mattresses. There is also a selection of informal seating and table and chairs for dining.
“The deck is totally off-grid with all lighting and power supply generated by solar and 12v, with composting facilities,” said John.
“Our guests have full access to the communal kitchen, dining area and firepit, and will have access to the entire farm including all walks, access to seasonal fruit and opportunities to watch the sunset from Castle Rock.”
