Make Dam Crazy your next destination!

Early 2019 the owners of Dam Crazy, Brendon and Miranda made the move to Queensland from the New Zealand Coastal town of Mangawhai in search of a slice of the great Aussie outdoors.

Initially faced with what they could only describe as a 625 acre overgrown rural scrapyard, they were determined to turn it into a vision that perhaps at the time only they could see.

​

The cleanup took over a year, they were ever mindful not to change nature, landscape, compromise or disturb the inhabitants; goanna's, kangaroo's, wallabies, native birds, the mountain of junk was removed to reveal what is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque private properties of the area.

A magnificent 400 megalitre dam that now forms part of the natural landscape of this unique property. A hidden gem in the Wide Bay area of Queensland where relaxation,  peace and privacy are unavoidable as are the sunsets and shooting stars in the clear skies above. 

The dam hosts a diverse range of wildlife; several species of fish, frogs and turtles also many different varieties of birds and native wildlife  that frequently visit.

Kayaks are available free of charge for you to use and explore the dam or if you fancy a swim, jump in off the jetty and cool off for the day or float quietly in the water and enjoy watching the wildlife.  

For the bird watcher enthusiasts, 126 different species have been found so far at Dam Crazy including the rare Powerfull Owl, please check out our photo gallery on our bookings page for some of the beautiful birds found around the dam.

The property is totally private, the drive into the property is 1km long so caravans are safe and secure and cannot been seen from the road, the owners live on the property and only booked guests are to enter the property offering security and peace of mind. 

Dam Crazy promises a warm welcome where you can kickback, sit around the campfire, unwind and get back in-touch with the best nature has to offer.

Dam Crazy is pet friendly, dogs must be cleaned up after and may be walked off leash on the walking trails (please be mindful of other campers, farm animals and wildlife), they may also swim in the dam at the designated area but must be contained or kept on leash at all times in the campsite areas. Please refer to our terms and conditions for our dog rules.
