Unwind in blissful seclusion, explore winding trails across the property, or create lasting memories with loved ones. Just 5 minutes away, Bindarri National Park beckons with its lush forests and scenic wonders. Whether you’re stargazing under clear country skies or cooling off in nearby swimming holes, Thrums is your gateway to adventure and relaxation.
