Springview Farm

37 acre farm nestled between Cardinia Reservoir and Lysterfield Lake Park.

Two luxury Bell Tents with a Queen Bed in each tent.  Extra beds for Children are $25 per person.

Beautiful isolated property with giant tree ferns, bushland and grassy paddocks. The campsite is next to our spring fed dam and backs onto 10acres of bushland. The dam is great for kayaking, swimming, fishing. There is plenty of room for footy, cricket, volleyball or just relaxing. Our farm is home to our 5 pet cows, 12 sheep, 3 Goats, 6 horses and chooks. Kangaroo, deer, echidna and wombats are seen roaming daily. We grow our own fruit and veggies, make preserves and also have bee hives. We are opening our farm up to share our country lifestyle.

Only 45 minutes from Melbourne CBD making it a perfect location for corporate functions, brand launches, small private functions, photo shoots, film productions.

 Please note we are NOT a party venue for loud music and drunkeness.

Totally private, secluded and surrounded by native bushland, paddocks and our spring fed dam.

PLEASE NOTE,

 OUR FARM IS A GLASS FREE AND SMOKING FREE SITE.

Our animals and native animals call this area home.  Grass, animals and bare feet do not mix with broken glass. We live in a delicate beautiful area filled with native flora and fauna.

Pets

Trickle Hill Cottage

Trickle Hill is a lovely cottage tucked away  at the edge of our bush. You have your own little patio, and can go for adventurous walks straight from your living room ! 
We are close  to Dandenong ranges, Yarra valley, Bunyip state park, and Puffing Billy.  
We are  just behind Avalon castle- so great if you are attending a wedding 
 We welcome couples, solo adventurers and families.  We are of course LGBTI+ friendly! 
Dogs are very welcome.

The cottage is a converted shed, with three bedrooms, a lovely living area and a cosy closed woodfire. We have a sheltered outdoor area, where you can have a barbeque, or have a small fire in a firedish.  The cottage is in the bush, so you can walk out and try to find our resident breeding pair of Lyrebirds, echidnas, wombats, wallabies and kangaroos or the deer that live in our 'back yard'. Or just roam, which shouldn't be too hard on 67 acres . 
We are close to massive areas of bush with open trails. Dogs are very welcome- no cats. 
As we live in the bush, we do our best to keep everything as 'green' as we can- so please don't use harsh chemicals.
Living in the bush brings with it that you cannot light a fire in fire danger periods, and,  heating on a woodstove, means there is a hot stove in the room. (watch those little fingers...)

Our aim is to give you a place of rest and enjoyment. We love to share our space as we love it here so much- and hope you love it too.
As life is a project - don't expect 10* linen and luxury, state of the art gardens and clipped lawns, but a friendly welcoming atmosphere where you can be yourself and relax.

We love to have visitors, and chat for a bit- or leave you  to relax. The cottage is on the edge of the bush, where you are welcome to roam on the tracks or off them- at your own risk :-) 

We are both artists, and our studio's are close to the cottage, which might make some noise, but we'll try to keep it at a minimum when guests are here.
The upside is, you could learn something if interested :-) (contact us for workshops) 

We have a working hobby farm- with some machinery, animals (pigs, dogs, horses, ducks and chickens).
You can interact with the animals if you talk to us about safety first, but the horse paddock is out of bounds. ( they can behave unpredictable, are very large (!) and very valuable)
Our dogs are very friendly and will most probably visit you. Our puppy still has lots to learn :-)

Our property is stock- fenced, our animals will stay in, but dogs are able to roam if they are not staying with you.
There is no secure yard to leave your dog during the day, you are expected to be in control of your dogs at all times. If they are ok with horses, chooks and dogs, and under voice command, they can be off leash. 
Dogs are not to sleep on the beds.

We are a rural property with animals, and there are dams on the property, (not close to the cottage) so please keep an eye on children - we cannot take responsibility for your persons or animals.

Living on a farm means that not everything is neat, safe, flat or person-proof. Often there is actual work being done involving machinery. Coming here is entirely at your own risk. (sorry for all the disclaimers...) 

But- of course- if there is anything we can do to make your visit more pleasurable, we will do our best to do so!
