Hire the Whole Mirumiru Farm for a Truly Unique High Country Family Escape
Some places are pretty. Some places are comfortable. But every now and then, you find somewhere genuinely unique — a place where the pace slows, the views open up, and your family settles in like they’ve been coming for decades. Hiring the whole Mirumiru farm gives you that feeling. It’s one of the only glamping stays in Australia where you can book the entire property — farmhouse, Bubbletents and all — because we are the independent custodians of every corner of this land. When you book it, the farm is yours alone.
Set against the alpine backdrop of Tenterfield’s High Country — warm days, cool nights, star-laden skies and those famous pink-granite sunsets — it’s the perfect setting for a family gathering that feels effortless, charming and wonderfully unrepeatable
Give Aunties (and Grandma) the House — It’s Made for Them
The farmhouse is a haven for older guests who love their comforts. With reverse-cycle heating and cooling, proper beds, an easy, familiar bathroom, Netflix for unwinding, and a traditional country kitchen, it’s the kind of place where the aunties and grandmothers settle in instantly. It even has our new outdoor bathhouse with a classic claw-foot tub — a little slice of old-world luxury framed by mountain air.
They can still enjoy the stars from the front and back decks, watching the sky shift through the soft pinks and golds Tenterfield is famous for. On some nights, the whole town steps outside at the same moment to marvel at the sunset — it’s that spectacular.
Make the Farmhouse Kitchen the Heart of Your Stay
Every great family trip has a central hub, and at Mirumiru, it’s the farmhouse kitchen. With its traditional layout, generous prep space and plenty of room to gather, it’s perfect for cooking feasts, prepping for barbecues and assembling picnic spreads for the national parks.
The recently installed dishwasher — small but mighty — makes cleaning up after a crowd far easier. From here, meals drift onto the back deck, drinks appear on the table, and conversations stretch late into the evening as the cool mountain air settles in.
A Firepit Built for Big, Happy, Noisy Families
The firepit near the house has recently been upgraded with seating to host a full gathering comfortably. It’s where marshmallows get toasted, stories get longer with every telling, and the kids dart back and forth in the firelight.
Dinner can be in the oven, on the barbecue, or bubbling away in the kitchen while the adults unwind outdoors. Cousins run wild in that carefree way only country stays allow, and the grown-ups enjoy a glass of wine while the sun drops behind Mount Mackenzie.
Meanwhile… You Get the Bubbletent All to Yourself
One of the most delightful parts of hiring the whole farm is how the Bubbletents offer retreat as well as connection. You can slip away after dinner, wander back to your bubble under the stars, and wake to the kind of sunrise that feels completely your own. It’s privacy without distance — a rare and beautiful balance.
Soak in the Unrivalled View of Mount Mackenzie
Everything at Mirumiru orients toward the outlook of Mount Mackenzie — a sweeping, granite-rich horizon that shifts with every hour. In summer, the granite glows pink at dusk and the air cools quickly, with average evening temperatures dropping into the mid-teens even at the height of summer. It’s refreshing, restorative, and exactly what makes Tenterfield’s alpine climate so unique.
A Unique Family Experience You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
Hiring the entire Mirumiru farm isn’t something you can replicate. No other Bubbletent glamping operation in Australia offers private whole-farm hire. It’s a peaceful, completely exclusive country experience — where your family can spread out, reconnect, breathe deeply and create memories that only happen once in a while.
And the best part? It’s closer than you think:
3.5 hours from Brisbane
3 hours from the Gold Coast
2 hours from Armidale
A world away, but still an easy, scenic drive.
