FORREST 1

9 sites · Lodging11 acres · Olinda, VIC
Over 120 years ago, loggers roamed the 11-acre property at Forrest, forging trails still visible today. The historic Loggers Cabin, built from towering trees of yesteryear, now boasts modern comforts. Upgraded with a flushing toilet, shower, and hot water, it retains its rustic charm, featuring an old fireplace, stocked wood, and a dedicated work desk. The well-appointed kitchen, outdoor BBQ, and woodfire pizza oven complement indoor amenities like a fridge, toaster, microwave, and stove kettle. Embrace the natural landscape, seeking shelter under ancient ferns or 80-meter-high Eucalypt trees. Enjoy outdoor spaces on rainy days, dotted around the property, or opt for cabin comforts with board games and movies. Nature's bounty surrounds without a snake sighting in over 40 years, this place promises a serene and safe escape. Discover the allure of the past in this updated, historic cabin at FORREST, set amidst nature's boundless beauty. Campspots are a plenty.

There is starlink available from the toilet block area. Depending on the day you book there may be the option of having a generator placed at your camp-site.

Tiny Castle at Tynecastle Park

1 site · Lodging104 acres · Allambee Reserve, VIC
Tiny Castle is a custom built tiny house that overlooks farmland, bushland and the glorious Stzelecki Ranges including Mount Worth. With a large covered deck connected to the front of the tiny house, you don't have to go anywhere to witness Wedge-tailed Eagles, Black Cockatoos, King Parrots, Rosellas and Kookaburra to name a few. Or wombats scurrying into their warren in the embankment just below the tiny house. Or the wallabies that hang out in the front paddock. If you're a fit walker, you can hike up to the back of the property that borders an old pine plantation now full of regrowth where herds of deer call it home. At the right time of day, you're likely to see all kinds of water fowl in the damns around the property. And if you're lucky, our 3 alpaca will let you photograph them as they stare you down, but no cuddles for these guys -- they're there to keep the foxes away. Night time is magical. With no light pollution, it's a stargazers paradise and on a still evening you'll hear boobooks, possums and frogs. The popular tourist village of Yarragon is 16km down a winding unsealed road one way, while the larger town of Mirboo North is about the same distance going the other way. Mount Worth State Park is 13km from our property and Lyrebird Forest Walk Regional Park is 26km just outside Mirboo North. While there's a lot to do around these parts, my guess is you won't want to leave the property.

Tiny homes near Warburton with campfires guide

Overview

If you’re looking for an idyllic countryside escape from Melbourne, Warburton wants to throw its name in the hat. This pint-sized town on the Yarra River has plenty to offer campers, whether you prefer wine tasting in the Yarra Valley or hiking in the hills. The perfect weekend itinerary? Go bushwalking in the Redwoods forest, biking along the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail, or tubing along the Yarra River, then head to the La La Falls picnic area or tour the Yarra Valley’s foodie hotspots. Time to camp? Check into an eco-cabin in the woods, a rural Hipcamp, or a state campground.

Where to go

Yarra Valley

Blanketed with Californian redwood and mountain ash, the forested hills of the Yarra Ranges National Park are a gigantic playground for outdoor adventurers. Match your activity with the season: hit the ski slopes at Mount Donna Buang, admire the wildflowers during a spring hike, or enjoy summer rock climbing at Ben Cairn. There are two first-come, first-served camping areas in the Yarra State Forest, both with unpowered sites, picnic tables, and firepits.

Dandenong Ranges

West of Warburton, the Dandenong Ranges are peppered with historic villages and tranquil camping spots. Mount Dandenong is the star attraction of the Dandenong Ranges National Park, where you can hike, mountain bike, or horseback ride through rolling hills and woodlands. Don’t miss a ride on the Puffing Billy Steam Train and the scenic walk to Olinda Falls. 

Murrindindi

North of the Yarra Ranges, Marysville is a popular basecamp for exploring the mountain valleys, waterfalls, and sleepy villages of Murrindindi shire. Snag a lakeside campsite at Lake Eildon National Park and spend your time boating, waterskiing, and kayaking on the lake, camp at Rubicon Falls, or hike to remote bush camps in the Cathedral Range State Park.

When to go

Warburton is open for business through all four seasons, but campsites fill up during the peak summer months and over holiday weekends, so book ahead. Wildflowers pepper the Yarra Ranges in spring and summer, affording magnificent views for hikers, and the landscapes transform with colourful fall foliage through autumn. In winter, nearby Mt. Donna Buang is Melbourne’s closest winter sports destination.
