About this property

Minimbah Fishing Lodge: unique riverside cabins and camping, waiting for groups!

Eight comfortable motel‑style cabins, each with an ensuite and sleeping up to four guests (one double bed and two single bunks), sit just a short stroll from our large shared kitchen, common room and BBQ area—ideal spaces for groups to gather and unwind. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, celebration, function or work conference, Minimbah Fishing Lodge has the facilities to bring everyone together.
Our private boat ramp and jetty provide direct access to the Coolongolook, Wallingat and Wang Wauk river systems, with Wallis Lake and Forster only 20 minutes away by boat. For guests who prefer a more adventurous stay, our spacious riverside campground can also be booked exclusively alongside your cabin accommodation.
Located on a working farm just 15 minutes south of Nabiac Village, we’re perfectly positioned between the Great Lakes, Barrington and Manning regions—making Minimbah Fishing Lodge a central base for exploring the best of the Mid North Coast.

What makes this property unique

A rare blend of riverfront, farm, and wilderness:
Minimbah sits directly on the Coolongolook River, giving guests private access to three major river systems while also being part of a working farm. This combination is unusual on the Mid North Coast. Guests can launch a boat, watch cattle graze, wander the property, or simply enjoy the quiet of the riverbank—all without leaving the lodge grounds.
- Private boat ramp and jetty — uncommon for accommodation in this region
- Direct access to Coolongolook, Wallingat and Wang Wauk rivers
- 20 minutes by boat to Wallis Lake and Forster
- Authentic rural setting with open paddocks, wildlife and space to explore
This creates a sense of seclusion and immersion that’s hard to replicate.

Accommodation designed for groups and gatherings:
The layout of the property makes it ideal for families, clubs, fishing groups, school camps, and corporate retreats.
- Eight motel‑style cabins with ensuites, each sleeping four
- Large shared kitchen, common room and BBQ area
- Expansive riverside campground that can be booked alongside cabins
Few places offer this combination of comfort, capacity and communal spaces in such a peaceful setting.

A central base for exploring the region:
Minimbah’s location places guests within easy reach of the Great Lakes, Barrington and Manning regions while still feeling tucked away from the crowds.
- 15 minutes south of Nabiac Village
- Close to beaches, lakes, national parks and tourist routes
- Ideal for day trips while still offering a quiet retreat at day’s end
Guests get both convenience and tranquillity.
