Beautiful landscape with stunning views! Jarrod is a fantastic host, friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, sharing great tips about the local area and nearby towns. The campsite was private, spacious, and the views were amazing.

Was a great farmstay, plenty of room, beautiful views, your on top of the world/plateau, great base to explore Hahndorf, Monarto Safari Park, Adelaide Hills, great host. Only negative and I think 🤔 it was just unlucky for us that it was very windy. It got to the stage of uncomfortable but locals that we chatted to said the wind was not normal. Stay was Xmas 2025. Would recommend stay but take warm clothes just in case the weather changes. We had looked at temps before we left home but the wind was unexpected.

I absolutely loved camping at the plateau. Its such a beautiful serene place. Fantastic for the rugged style camping. The views are spectacular and Jarrod is such a fantastic host. Make sure you have a strong sturdy tent, I recommend a dome tent as the winds can get intense sometimes as your very high up. This style of camping is for experienced campers. I loved every part of it and I will definitely be going up there regularly.

The property looked great and we can’t wait to return, however, on this occasion we had to cancel due to extreme weather conditions.

Absolutely stunning views and host was friendly and helpful. Got a tad windy on top of the hill and ended up leaving early due to a change in the weather but would go there again.
