Springview Farm

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

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.

There are 2 locations to choose from.

Krystal Waters

Located on Phillip Island Road just before the town of San Remo and the bridge to Phillip Island. The property is 26 acres with beach frontage to Western Port Bay and views of French Island. 

The land has been used for pasture, mostly for cattle, with a large dam wall which at one time had a small gauge train track on top running to the old port of San Remo. These days the property is used as a hobby farm with a few cattle, a vegetable garden, some fruit trees, and replanting of native trees.

We offer three RV/tent sites on the property, with our caretaker also residing onsite. While the sites ensure privacy, guests may encounter others during their stay since restroom facilities are shared among all campers. There is 1 shower with hot water and 1 flushing toilet. Site 1 stands apart from the other two sites, equipped with both power and water. Sites 2 and 3 are situated 20 meters apart, however, guests can spread out more if they do not need power.

We're currently in the process of expanding our property, constructing several new sheds. As a result, you might notice building materials on-site. We've made every effort to separate these materials from the campsites and keep them out of the way.

Our site is on a very busy main road and is easy to miss if you’re driving fast. I have a big sign on our gate but you may need to slow down in order to see it! The GPS should guide you right to the property. 

Please note, because of our elevated location the winds can be strong at times - but the views make it worth it in our opinion!

Access to rocky shoreline via trail along fence line. Will have to walk along tall grass, but doable.

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!

Wildcroft

We were lucky enough to settle here 9 years ago, looking back I think the property found us!After we settled in we invited our parents Harry and Pauline to live in their self-contained unit to share and enjoy our dream home and gardens. Everyone who visits us is amazed at how beautiful the property is, and how when you are here it feels like you are in the middle of the country. Discovering Hipcamp has given us an opportunity to share what we have with you and in return, we get to meet the most amazing people and find out about each and every one of your life stories!

Quiet & green with an abundance of bird life, Trees, flowers, peace all within a 10 min drive from major shopping centres. 

Iluka Retreat

Our 36 acre property offers group lodge accommodation, and glamping bell tents on manicured lawns. The property is stunning with a swimming lake, wetlands, bird hides, and rolling hills. Located between the coastal town of Shoreham & Red Hill. Iluka offers a “Back to Nature” style getaway which allows guests to switch off and enjoy the great outdoors.
