1. Stoney Creek Farmstay
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
Stoney Creek Farmstay is located in a valley at the base of Mt Bridgeman, here you can get perfect peace and quiet, our guests can't believe how quiet is is here, stay in our secluded cottage that is very unique, go exploring along the creek up Mt Bridgeman were you can swim in crystal clear water at the base of a water falls. Or you might choose to go horse riding along our picturesque trails where you can see right back to the coast. Our well trained horses suit all riders, we take novice riders to experienced, all ages from 5 yrs to 85 yrs. If you prefer we can take you four wheel driving on the same trails as the horses, stop at Pine Tree falls and go for a swim, be careful though you just might not want to leave.

Fantastic spot for the kids to cool off. Has a waterslide and different pools to swim in with shallow pool for smaller kids. Nice grassy areas to sit by the pool. Facilities are clean too.

Time did not permit for me to enjoy the full circuit of roughly twenty kilometres of shared pathway which circles around Mackay. The circuit was designed for cyclists and pedestrians to discover the main attractions like the Bluewater Lagoon, Bluewater Quay, Sandfly Creek Environmental Reserve, Iluka Park, Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens and the Catherine Freeman walk, keep an eye out for six interesting outdoor public art installations along the way. I enjoyed the stretch from the Bluewater Lagoon around to Sandfly Creek Environmental Reserve and discovered four art sculptures, my personal favourite being the 'Mangrove Cap'.

We parked the car at Iluka Park and followed the path to the boat ramp. Nice, wide pathway with lots of rest areas and information boards along the way. A new looking toilet block is located at the boat ramp end of the path.
