Thoughtfully furnished cottage stays among the gardens and mountains of Camp Mountain.

Soul Stays · Camp Mountain

A quiet acreage among the gardens, bushland and mountains.

Soul Stays is a small family homestead at Camp Mountain, a few minutes from Samford Village, where two private cottages sit quietly among the gardens.

Mornings begin with birdsong. Chickens wander the property. There's a pool beneath open skies, a firepit for the evening, and views towards Mt Glorious and Mt Nebo.

Simple. Thoughtful. Unhurried.

Camp Mountain

Life at the Homestead

Life here moves at its own pace.

Morning birdsong. Gardens changing with the seasons. Chickens wandering through the property. A swim beneath open skies. An evening around the fire. Or simply somewhere quiet to sit with a coffee.

Nothing needs to be organised.

It's simply part of living here.

A Place Between Places

Sometimes you just need somewhere for a little while.

Not every move fits neatly between a weekend away and a twelve-month home.

Soul Stays is designed for those in-between chapters — when you need somewhere comfortable, furnished and ready to live in, without setting up an entire home.

Relocating

A comfortable base while you find your next home.

Renovating or Building

Somewhere peaceful to live while work is underway.

Between Homes

A furnished place while one chapter closes and another begins.

Temporary Work

A quieter alternative for professionals working in the region.

Visiting Family

Stay close to loved ones without living out of a hotel room.

A Change of Pace

For those simply needing somewhere comfortable for four weeks or longer.

An empty swing beneath the old tree

Sometimes the most meaningful thing you do all day is nothing.

Read.

Nap.

Swing beneath the old tree.

Listen to birds.

Watch the chickens wander.

Sit in the sun.

Or simply do nothing at all.

Sometimes that's exactly what's needed.

The Property

Space to make your own.

Guests staying at Soul Stays can enjoy the property at their own pace.

Why Soul Stays Exists

We're Emma and Harry, and Soul Stays began with a simple idea — sharing a little of the place we're fortunate enough to call home.

We live here at Camp Mountain with our daughter Mila, surrounded by gardens, chickens, bushland and views towards the mountains.

Over time, our two cottages have become places where people can settle in and enjoy the property in their own way.

Today, Soul Stays offers thoughtfully furnished accommodation for guests looking for somewhere comfortable to call home for four weeks or longer.

You'll have your own space and privacy, while still being surrounded by the quiet rhythm of life on the property.

Simple. Thoughtful. Unhurried.

That's still what Soul Stays is about.

A guest copy of Awakening to Oneness sits within the cottage for anyone who feels like picking it up during their stay.

Written by Emma, it's simply another small part of the story behind Soul Stays.
